Salford Council has brought planning, building control, property, highways and infrastructure services in-house after the end of a 15-year joint venture partnership with Capita and housebuilder Galliford Try.
The council has brought all services provided by Urban Vision back in-house and it will examine how they can now be used to boost the city’s economy.
Simon James, partnership director, Urban Vision, said: “All three organisations recognise the partnership has reached its natural conclusion and that the end of the contract is both timely and appropriate.”
