Loving the vibe of Flight Bar on Heaton Road. Nice to see local businesses in the area striving.
Have to say, claims that this is going to turn it into Osbourne Road are ridiculous. Complaints from people who don’t ever live here!!!
News: Planning committee have approved the development on Heaton Down Yard.
It is good to see quality housing being developed on disused land. Delighted also to have seen that the dwellings will now have solar panels.
