oh dear! has your beloved council not invited you.
maybe now you'll stop protecting the leadership and start representing the people of manchester!
afterall you're not guardian media owned anymore!

So the 'liberal' Guardian Media Group is in thrall to Trafford MBC which is Tory dominated and one of the few councils to operate a selective education policy Jay? Gosh.

what local residents are against it ?? 99% dont even live locally let alone trafford ,stop making ridiculous headlines without checking the facts. gorse hill is full of takeaways or shops that no one really wants to use but have to because they have no choice..baked beans & bread or cider for the kids...obviously not from stetford if you dont know that.80% plus are takeaways.quadrant has 2 shops that sell same as gorse hill then its takeaways again..no green grocer ,no butchers unless you go to ayres road but again no choice if you dont agree with halal and stretford arndale is nearer than that anyway, if you like pound shops that is. tell chorlton to shut up Lancashire cricket club was here before most of you lived in manchester anyway ,let alone this country...THIS IS TRAFFORD.....

More cricket is good... maybe we'll have less pop concerts then. They wake our baby up, and we live 2 miles away!!

will the club now provide a team that we can be proud of - in the past few years we have been awful!

A disgraceful decision - what Gorse Hill, Old Trafford and the surrounding areas do not need is more traffic and yet another superstore. I fail to understand how the council and Planning Committee reject a bid for a 90,000 sq ft supermarket within White City Retail Park on the grounds that it would have a detrimental impact on the local area and on local traders, yet in the next breath approve a 170,000 sq ft store to be sited on former sports grounds backing on to houses, a school and a college. Ludicrous!

Let us not forget the proposal by the owners of White City, Derwent Holdings, who have also pledged support of the cricket club - the main difference being Derwent Holdings have the money ready to hand over in a process that does not require the sale of land owned by Stretford High School, itself being turned into an academy twice the size to be neighbours now with a collossal Tesco. What does this say for the safety of our children??

I, along with countless other local residents, have opposed this development strenuously and will continue to do so - the fight is not over.

Deeply Concerned, Gorse Hill

I live on Hornby Road which back on to this hugh supermarket to be.

All of you who have commented in favour of this will not and do not live in such close proximity to the propsed build. The delivery enterance will be so close to the houses at the end of the road. that we will be able to hear lorrys all day every day. these house have been here for 100 years and they are now slowly being dwarfed. The councul have also aproved a 14 story Hotel on Warwick Road. This small community of residential houses have to put up with all sorts the council do not care. its all about the money for them and sod the local residents its supposed to represent.

I for one am extreamly angry

sorry andy! the MEN like to amend storys instead of publishing new ones. the original story listed manchester council being involved with this project.
and the guardian media group support labour and not the liberals!
