[3] In 2008, the council unveiled its plan for a Pendleton PFI scheme to manage some of its most "challenging" housing.

[4][5] The £650 million Creating a New Pendleton urban regeneration scheme was finally launched in September 2013.

[6][7] Pendleton Together was formed to administer parts of the regeneration, and was a consortium including Together Housing Group, Keepmoat, Lathams architects, and Salford City Council.

[15] One reason for delays in replacing the combustible cladding was that Pendleton Together, technically a private contractor, was not eligible for public funding made available by the national government in the wake of the Grenfell fire.

[13] The cladding removal resumed in 2020, but as of April 2024 had not been replaced, resulting in cold and damp living conditions and causing a series of resident protests against the company.
