The state of the gardens - another police incident

[urban genie]

Police have cordened off picadilly gardens after what they refer to as a "fight" having taken place.

No other info but they are not allowing anyone in from morrisons to the other side of the gardens , though buses can still get from oldham st round to newton and lever st but cordon in place.

Anyone in town?

Did the Harry/Megs thread cause this ?

Its such a shit hole around there. Might sound harsh but they need to stop homeless congregating in that spot. Many are drugged up all the time and should be in hospitals or drug treatment clinics. Don’t see how burham has achieved anything on this.

Piccadilly Gardens are a blight on Manchester. With Piccadilly being such a busy thoroughfare, it is alarming to see the amount of drug dealing and gang culture around the area. The times I've passed through, Police are stood by allowing criminal behaviour to occur. They appear to turn a blind eye to the anti social behaviour, even during the day.

Should be permanently cordoned off.

They definitely shouldn't be in "hospitals" where people who have genuine issues struggle to get treated in good order.

Pat Karney is one of the plebs responsible for approving the horriffic design of the gardens and the Berlin wall

“Gardens” is laughable isn’t it.

That grass that was laid a few times last year was relaid with 4G grass that cost thousands.

They put a market stall on it for a month. Guess what it looks like now...

The homeless situation isn’t helped by do-gooders parking up giving free soup away in the “Gardens” presumably with the council’s permission.

It’s a blight on Manchester but you have to ask where would they go if it was cleaned up?
