An area of Partington extended as an overspill estate is now one of the most deprived parts of the Greater Manchester conurbation. The Cheshire Lines Committee opened a railway line through the town in 1873, but it closed in 1964. Partington and Carrington Youth Partnership was established to provide the town's youth with activities and the town has seen investment in a new youth centre.
