What to do with a redundant carpark and how everyone can enjoy the space…NorthernQuarterActionGroup 👏🏼

How is Piccadilly Gardens, which is public space, now another crappy bar area where you get bag searched and cold drinks taken off you??

🌆 ICYMI: "Arrowsmith Investments ...wants to build the tower next to one of Manchester city centre's oldest pubs. They say their proposals will "enhance" the 200-year-old, Grade II-listed Britons Protection while also providing 72 two-bedroom flats." confidentials.com/manchester/pro…

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen was filled with cars until a 2 year pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

I'm very, very sad to see that the mural of Ian Curtis by @Akse_P19 on Port Street has been painted over today 🙁

It’s come to light that the iconic Ian Curtis mural on Port Street has been painted over with my album artwork. This is the first time I’ve heard of this, me and my team are getting this fixed pronto. No way on earth would I want to disrespect a local hero like Ian. MCR ❤️🐝

Pretty sure some academic will write a paper called ‘Fluctuating Urban Configuration - Tactical Urbanism Putrefaction’ ... citing Thomas Street NQ4 as a pioneering ‘lieu d'inspiration’

Right here there was a funded opportunity for pavement build out with planting, SuDs, even a pocket park. Instead we got reinstatement of existing pavement (already too narrow) and these fugly concrete tank traps littering Edge St.

This is a pedestrianised street in Manchester. Loading is between 6-10am only. This wagon just reversed down it and around the fugly concrete ‘barriers’ at 3pm. Edge Street deserves so much better than this. Piccadilly Labour 🐝🏳️‍🌈

Every table was full minutes earlier. If all you do is partly restrict traffic access to a street the businesses can’t invest in permanent and beautiful seating. So when it tips it down all the customers have to run away. Gazebo and folding tables just don’t cut it.
