Transport and Local Connections

Ashton upon Mersey is part of the wider Sale and Trafford area, with connections to neighbouring communities and the wider Greater Manchester region. Regular journeys may include commuting, shopping, school runs and access to local services.

• Keep keys, documents and essential items separate from general belongings.
