Civic movement aiming towards a better Manchester. Speaking truth to power. Highlighting problems to fix and the good our city brings 🐝
Manchester, England
Joined February 2016
However portrayed 😄😱💥 Predicting the predictable! 🔮 Observing the damage.
And was never about being 'anti-development' but anti those whose appalling track record & hubris yet again led to substandard outcomes, models & developments that offer little to #Manchester. Again. Not NIMBY but Inspire us! Pioneer! Something beautiful for people & communites

Aviva Studios, Manchester review – where’s the joy? Rowan Moore offers a fair & faintly disappointed interim report from outside the fortress of Manchester group-thinking. Ill-considered by an autocratic admin at the end of its otherwise effective term.
theguardian.com
Designed by to morph from small-scale to vast and host the city’s international festival, Manchester’s new £211m complex feels like a missed opportunity

Fancy getting involved with the Friends of the Fallowfield Loop? They might have to throw in the towel because they're struggling to fill key roles This is from their newsletter

Very disappointing. Don't promise the world then downgrade much needed resources. Fallowfield loop is unsafe and unaccessable for so many
Remember a £5m plan to improve the Fallowfield loop? The cash was from Mayor Burnham's Challenge Fund There was a long consultation, talk of better access, lighting, even a skate park This is from the friends of the loop newsletter - they say it's been 'downgraded'

Brilliant initiative. Please, roll it out across Greater Manchester. Great for those with access needs and learning difficulties and everyone 👏

Oh, Andy. Andy lived down the road from me when I first moved to Manchester and we had many a drunken night together. Just the loveliest fella, who’ll be sorely missed 💔

Pat Karney is not fit to be an elected representative. From bullying other councillors to being invisible to those who he is meant to represent, he is not fit for office.
Yet another 15 minutes of the time of your elected members wasted by Cllr. Karney. Would he have spent as much time on the sartorial elegance of our outgoing Lord Mayor if they were male? When is this member ever going to be asked to join the 21st century?

Unsurprisingly I’m not the only one admiring the architecture on King Street

How, how, how, did this concrete empty mess go 100 million over budget whilst a city struggles? The state of The Factory Manchester & Leese leadership

Who else might you ask is an honorary president of Man City (as well as having a road named after him + appointment as Strategic Development Advisor for the City Football Group)… It’s former chief exec of Manchester City Council + the other key deal maker, Howard Bernstein
