tomski Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Exactly And this councils sole aim seems to be to make it easier to get to Manc So, what's the point High streets are far from dead now. Making a bit of a resurgence. People are a bit fed up of out of town retail parks. High streets need to get a lot smarter now though like many other things. Town centre needs cutting down for housing on all the surroundings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a retail park the bottom end of Great Ancoats St with every unit shut.The Ancoats hipsters mustn't like them.It can't have been open 20 years if that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of room for residential development. In time hopefully a few more independent shops eateries etc for the commuter classes with money to spend and no time to cook. Might be a chic centre in a decade. Or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get some blokes who look like they've had a better night's kip than me begging for cash. I don't give owt to beggars now. Too many spice heads or scruffs on the cadge in the last couple of years. Admittedly it was rare I did anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one of them is homeless but unfortunately some people fall for it. They can also be found hanging around outside McDonald's every evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySanchez Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Just on my walk from home to train station I'm guaranteed to pass a couple. Neither looks homeless in a sort of sleeping rough for a few days would do sort of way I assume they must be amateurs as A) no dog take the money you've got in the plastic cup out so it looks like you are less 'well off' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
