Probably WML, my brother’s business is on there and I knew someone across the way from him did that sort of work

No that's not us, years ago we used to subcontract for WML before they set up their own division doing the same. We are based in Northwich, but do alot of work in Manchester.

A couple of snaps from different angles on Wednesday night show the scale of the new arena, it towers over the superstore

This is the Ardwick Curve, it links the Piccadilly lines to the existing railway line that runs just to the west of the old Merc garage.

What a fantastic photo, nice one

Just spotted this on Twitter. New Islington green on the tram line on the way to the ground. Sad to see green space like this go. More apartments I’m told

All houses were fields once and this is a poor quality site adjoining the tram lines. Normally dog walkers complain as they have less places for their dog to shit.

I think the lack of green space in Manchester is an issue. We are missing a big park/ something similar

confused looking at the picture all I can see is a tiny amount of green grass at the side of the a tram line which would not serve any function either as a building plot or a green space

Bullshit. It's hammered whenever the sun is out and was always a really good vibe - people just relaxing in the sun with a few drinks, food and bbqs, bit of music then you can just walk over to the marina for drinks when the sun goes down. Big loss and I'm not sure there is any reasonable substitute on that side of the city. May be a tram job to st Philips Park unless the new park at Piccadilly comes up trumps. Don't think angel meadows gets much sun or has enough grass to cope

It was always designated for development. Those who live near it will all be from the awful looking new flats, and would be aware of its intended use when they leased them.
