In 2008, the council unveiled its plan for a Pendleton PFI scheme to manage some of its most "challenging" housing. The £650 million Creating a New Pendleton urban regeneration scheme was finally launched in September 2013. 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. In 2013 it secured a 30 year contract with the council to manage and maintain specific tower blocks.Safety
In June 2017, it was reported that council tower blocks in Pendleton used similar aluminium composite material cladding that had been a major contributing factor in the Grenfell Tower fire earlier that month. Nine blocks managed by Pendleton Together required fire safety and other improvements. Work began in 2017 to remove the cladding, but halted in the same year. 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. 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.
