Castlefield, Manchester, is in a proper mess, yet it should be our jewel in the crown. "At a time when no company or governmental agency can go seven minutes without repeating the mantra of?"wellbeing", this would deliver a practical city centre moment of real, not virtue-signalled, wellbeing as people walk around a lovely series of pocket parks made unique in the country by being scattered between the hard bones of industry and enlivened by the sparkle of canal waters."
Something needs to be done in so many parts of this unique urban landscape.
This is my state of Castlefield article - it's had lots of endorsements - what do you think?

2 年Good morning Jonathan! Excellent article, although one wished it wouldn’t have bee necessary to write it. It is indeed worrying if not a shame. I’ve been there recently. Speak soon! Greetings from Cologne Laura?
