To address the need for a LTS in the Trafford Park area. This is a direct response to a number of local positive tests and the need to re-inforce testing in that area to limit any potential outbreak. Also to provide for actions to enable the site to be available and accessible for staff and the public.

This site was selected due to its being Council owned and its location. The location is crucial given how many businesses operate out of this area and that the spread of COVID in businesses is increasing. The site was also selected as an ideal size as it needed to be large enough to hold the testing site and accessible as a walk in accessible site. The proximity to the tram stop was also a factor in site selection. The former Trafford Depot on 2^nd Avenue was initially considered but discounted as not so accessible and currently being used for storage along with requiring more work to make it suitable for the LST.
