Civic movement aiming towards a better Manchester. Speaking truth to power. Highlighting problems to fix and the good our city brings 🐝

However portrayed 😄😱💥

Predicting the predictable! 🔮

Observing the damage.

[McrShield @mcrshield]

And was never about being 'anti-development' but anti those whose appalling track record & hubris yet again led to substandard outcomes, models & developments that offer little to #Manchester. Again.

Not NIMBY but Inspire us! Pioneer! Something beautiful for people & communites

@veronica_nis And then, this was overbudget by 25. Now it is overbudget costs by at least ONE HUNDRED & THIRTY MILLION!

After this was banned from talking to any developers and they were told consequences if worked or spoke to me! Leese™️ failureland all over 😱💥

Aviva Studios, Manchester review – where’s the joy? Rowan Moore offers a fair & faintly disappointed interim report from outside the fortress of Manchester group-thinking. Ill-considered by an autocratic admin at the end of its otherwise effective term. https://t.co/JUfLAPnkPn

[McrShield @mcrshield]

Oh my goodness, old Manchester friend just sent me this!

Another 20 million!? Should come out of Leeses years of wages and pension!

Bottomless pit of ___!

Failure™️

@mcrshield @michaelingall @PlaceNorthWest @LondonRoadMCR @AlliedLondon @MCRLibDems @redyellowparrot @JerichoJess Thinking of Louise right now...

[McrShield @mcrshield]

@LozKaye @michaelingall @PlaceNorthWest @LondonRoadMCR @AlliedLondon @MCRLibDems @redyellowparrot @JerichoJess Absolutely. Devastating news last year. I hope you are okay Loz.

[McrShield @mcrshield]

@michaelingall @PlaceNorthWest @LondonRoadMCR @AlliedLondon @MCRLibDems Quickly logging in and out to say thanks so much @michaelingall for such a kind and reassuring email.

My friends in the old committee will be grateful @redyellowparrot @lozkaye Bob & @JerichoJess

Away LT but such a contrast to old MCC or political ethos.

You are a star! Thanks

[McrShield @mcrshield]

@michaelingall @PlaceNorthWest @LondonRoadMCR @AlliedLondon @MCRLibDems Cheers! Sent an email!

Love and light and all things that delight!

Now logging out of here again! 😅

[McrShield @mcrshield]

@michaelingall @PlaceNorthWest @LondonRoadMCR @AlliedLondon @MCRLibDems Okay! Ease to tweet I guess. Will email then! Been asked after several deaths of original campaign committee and group not seeing building in use, which is sad. Not even in UK for years and rarely use this shared log in. Hope well and good news soon!

[McrShield @mcrshield]

@PlaceNorthWest @LondonRoadMCR @AlliedLondon Hearing nothing back, can only worry.

Is this late completion date genuine?

Is the project out of money (due to The Factory excesses, economy etc)?

Purchased 2015 and the silence is not reassuring at all.

Update welcome @michaelingall

[McrShield @mcrshield]

@PlaceNorthWest Can you check this is true? On schedule? A fantasy? Abandoned project? Funding gone elsewhere!?

Zero from @LondonRoadMCR since 2020 @AlliedLondon

[McrShield @mcrshield]

@MysticalKenny @newfieldchris @HeatonHops Depressing isn't it? Planners that love destruction.

Fancy getting involved with the Friends of the Fallowfield Loop?

They might have to throw in the towel because they're struggling to fill key roles
