As part of the investment scheme 720 homes will get new kitchens, 660 will get new bathrooms, 700 will be fitted with new windows and around 1,200 homes will have new doors fitted.

In addition, major refurbishment work will take place at ageing tower blocks Canon Green Court in Broughton and Fitzwarren Court and Albion Towers in Pendleton.

The three-year programme is the second phase of a £75m project, which will see all Salix Homes properties reach the Decent Homes standard by 2020.

Lee Sugden, Chief Executive at Salix Homes, said: "We are pleased to announce the appointment of our principal contractors to deliver the next phase of our significant investment plans for Salford.

"Our chosen contractors all have an excellent track record, so we are confident they will help us deliver on our promise to create the homes and communities that the people of this great city deserve."
