A NEW national marketing campaign promoting Salford has been launched.
Posters which refer to the city's waterways, also declare that "there's tons of grass" in Salford, to highlight its green space.
The unusual promotion, launched on Tuesday, aims to dispel the negative industrial and high-crime image of Manchester's neighbouring city.
The city council said the www.oneshockingcity.com/ should "confront prejudices".
