Alert Salford City Council has issued a draft area plans for each of its nine community areas. These area plans will set out a vision of how the areas should change over the next 10-20 years. Barton aerodrome is located within one of these areas, Eccles.

Draft policy 'EC2 Barton Aerodrome' proposes...

"The aerodrome facility is a unique recreation and business asset of regional importance, but there are pressures for its redevelopment for other uses such as a rail freight terminal. The Council's position is that the aerodrome use, and the openness of the site, be protected, should this position be continued?"

Draft proposal 'EC3 Barton Railfreight Proposal' also explains the Council's proposed opposition to the railfreight terminal.
