Chorlton Square shopping centre to be razed in new year

Can’t wait to see the back of this blight on Chorlton! Will be exciting to watch things progress

One whole year since the closure of the precinct and not a spade in the ground meantime only Morrisons & Co -op for the whole of Chorlton & Seymour Grove. What was so urgent..

Poor build terribly managed (IMO), overdue for the bulldozer…

Little provision before or after for adjoining health facility.

Stopped wasting the money for changing the Chorlton shopping area (including the) car park too. Why don’t they listen [Manchester City Council] to future ideas?! Wake up City Council people and Greater Manchester mayor.

Can’t believe that they ripped the heart of central Chorlton out, evicted businesses and created a mini wilderness to only be this far down the line in potential development. Disgraceful.

Hope home will be offered to those in the immediate area first,I’m not sure how schools, gp,dentists and hospital services are coping now but with so many more people to contend with in the future this matter needs addressing.

This site should be used to build council flats to house people who are on the waiting list for years please consider this there are hundreds of people &families living in temp accommodation waiting for a permanent home. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS

Get on with it guys, so much time wasted

So we lost two good greengrocers and a class butcher.
Now we will use yet more car parking in Chorlton.

They have destroyed Chorlton

Chorlton is ruined.

Green space to be included
Window boxes for balconies
Green, restful roof space
Sensibly distanced trees
Regular garden maintenance to rescue litter from shrubs
Good spaced litter bins with regular removal
Benches
Play area to encourage good, young sociability where kids can hang out while parent guardians shop
Concierge with a friendly disposition
Good recycling facilities
Meeting area in communal space for ideas to be shared
Bike racks with some sort of theft deterrent

The reason Chorlton is full of people is the excellent shopping,socializing and village setting.Knockong everything down to provide housing is totally counterproductive.Nobody wants to move somewhere where everything has been removed.You’re actually going to kill the golden goose. Chorlton will be a slum of a ghost town within a decade.

Will there be useful and affordable shops or more takeaways, beauty salons and useless tat? Quality Save was the last useful and affordable shop in Chorlton.

Please don’t move the car park, we need that! Disabled folk have nowhere to park! You can’t hoist your wheelchair when parallel parked on the street. We need to park to shop!

Great more fecķing housing but no decent shopping or super markets they’ve lost the plot the planning in Chorlton especially the roads.This was a great little precinct every thing under one roof!!

UK folk (or Southern English) vote, time and again, for a “free market economy”, unlike Europe, so mostly unregulated by democratic institutions, and then complain about what democratic institutions, or “they”, should or should not be doing to make their community-life better. Make your minds up.

I see the Chorlton nimby whingers are out in force today. The precinct was awful should have been demolished and replaced years ago. Now this is done at least the Chorlton nimby’s can focus their attention on stopping more, much needed, affordable housing being built at Ryebank.

This really is a once in a generation opportunity, more like lifetime(!), to transform Chorlton’s district centre. In all fairness, the precinct has looked glum for many years, the design of a bygone era to meet different needs, with all the units gloomily facing each other, the backs of which do little to invite you in from Manchester Road or any other entrance for that matter. As for the total underutilisation of the vast space that currently houses the car park… Let’s embrace this change, and really get the heart of Chorlton beating once again!

Greedy and bland developers will destroy Chorltons shopping offer increase congestion and blight the areas

Drove out lots of good local traders from Chorlton, shame on you!

bring back Frosts butchers please

Bit suspicious submitting this just before the Christmas break no?
