I've noticed the amount of shops going from the Manchester Arndale not that many years after the large new extension opened.
Some gone, some going and who knows who is going to fill their place, I'm sure they won't be the last either.
Loads of office space going empty too.
Then there is the crazy amount in flats being built, in the city centre and surrounds.
Why not new estates with first time buyer, key worker, low income etc... friendly houses? Good local amenities and transport links creating more jobs and better communities.
