w/e 29/10/2017

Having had time to digest a summary of the meeting between the committee of the SGMGB (Save Greater Manchester Green Belt) to whom Save Flixton Green Belt are affiliated and Paul Dennett (Mayor of Salford) the man charged with leading the radical re-write of the GMSF, appointed by the Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham, we can share some key points.

During the lead up to the next consultation (June 2018) there will be periodic releases of information which will include Economic Forecasts, Information regarding the OAHN ( Over All Housing Needs) standardised methodology, a new Brownfield Register publication and outcomes of  Transport Studies. This they hope will cover the transparency issues that we are all aware were the problems with the first consultation (Dec 23rd 2016 then moved to January 2017 after local pressure all over Greater Manchester).

The next consultation will also be user friendly on line because as we know the first one was not.

Negotiations will remain ongoing in this process and we can guarantee no stone will be left unturned to protect our greenspace. PROMISE

G H Carnall Consultation Drop in Events a Success

May saw two events arranged by Trafford Council and ourselves for the community to finally have their say on the future of this much loved, much used Leisure Centre and Social Hub. This has followed two and a half years of uncertainty surrounding the centre which has been fuelled with a long list of untruths and stories pedalled by people that want the centre shut because of the land it occupies, regardless of it's unquestioned value to the community and it's undoubted potential to pay for itself when run properly by those very people, had they cared about it's future security and the impact it would have on the community if it did. The events were held on May 21st at GHC and 30th May at Urmston  Library. Both events were attended by Council Leader Andrew Western and virtually all of our local elected representatives. Here are a few pictures from the events If you were unable to attend any of the events but want a say in the future of th...
