A vacant site which was once home to the former 16-storey Hanover Court located at the junction between Bury New Road and Northumberland Street in Higher Broughton, has been earmarked to become the home of a new hub for the jewish community.
Proposals would see the Ezra Care charity located within the new hub which would provide services for the local jewish community from the purpose built facility as part of a 250-year lease.
Additionally, up to 23 specialist housing units could accompany the hub at the site which is expected to see approval in the coming weeks.
The infrastructure is said to be required due to the rapid increase in members of the jewish 'Charedi' community who have moved into the area.
The Jewish community in Higher Broughton can be traced back to the mid-19th century, when a small number of Jewish families began to settle in the area. Over time, the community grew and became more established, with the founding of synagogues, schools, and other community institutions.
The new facilities will be a welcome addition in the area.
