 The Trafford Centre , a large shopping and leisure complex , is at Dumplington , north of Urmston . Some locals felt that it brought about the decline of Urmston Precinct , the town 's central shopping area – dating back to the 1960s – where many units closed or became " pound shops " . Beginning in 2007 , Urmston Precinct was demolished and a £ 45 million redevelopment of the site got underway , to include 140 @,@ 000 square feet ( 13 @,@ 006 m2 ) of retail and leisure space and 144 apartments . This redevelopment project is now known as Eden Square . A new Sainsbury 's opened in the summer of 2009 as did the relocated local library with the rest of the new shopping precinct expected to follow later in the year . This was followed by the opening of an Aldi supermarket ; a few budget stores ; bars ; and cafes .
