Now its building a car park on platt fields park in manchester ....
Heres a good idea, why don't we just cover every last bit of grass in concrete, paint white lines on it, let our kids play on it and then moan when they get hit by cars??
or we could do something to stop it instead.

Car Park on Platt Fields Park
Platt Fields Park is loved by the many residents of the Rusholme area,
most of whom live in traditional terraced housing and do not have their own
gardens. The park is under threat from a 400+ space car park,
surrounded by 6 metre high lighting towers and 2.4 metre high metal fences. As well
As well as the impact on the local population, it will involve cutting down many
old trees and increase traffic flow in the area. The car park is not even
for local residents, it is for people who work outside the area.
Local residents have only just become aware of this, and have only 2
weeks to register any protests with the City Council. (Deadline 2nd June)
Can anyone help? South Rusholme Residents Association are
organising a petition, mounting a poster campaign and contacting the press.
