Today we met with Manchester City Council to express our concerns about the Alexandra Park restoration plan. Present at this meeting (which was invitation only at request of Manchester City Council) were:
Rionne Avis, Nadine Andrews, Jenny Trigg – local residents
Richard Sharland, Manchester City Council
Eamonn O’Rourke, Manchester City Council
Eddie Flanagan, Manchester City Council
Eunice Long, Manchester City Council
Sara Hilton, Head of Heritage Lottery Fund NW

Ten members of our group collaborated to compile a presentation detailing the issues, which you can view below.

We outlined both high level and specific concerns, which you can access here Alex park_high level concerns , Alex park_specific concerns

MCC confirmed they would review the issues raised and respond back to us early in the new year. MCC would not commit to timescales but it seems habitat clearance and tree felling are unlikely to start before 2nd week in January.

Did you…
