A  meeting is being held on Wednesday (May 24), at 7pm at St Paul’s Church to discuss the situation involving the development at NO 6 and NO 8 Manchester Road.

Following on from the partial collapse of the properties last week the applications to convert the buildings into bedsits have been withdrawn.

The  property developer Michael Gerrard of Developland has said neither property will be demolished and plans to submit new proposals to the council.

He would first like to present these proposals to residents and interested parties at the meeting.

Local councillors and a council officer will also be in attendance.
