Secret changes to town centre

EXCLUSIVE by Chris Hudson
5/ 3/2008

A COUNCILLOR is demanding that secret proposals to change the £250m facelift of Macclesfield town centre should be made public immediately.

Redevelopers presented plans to councillors last week and it’s claimed that they ‘substantially alter the entire concept’ of the development.

It is also claimed the redevelopers attended a Civic Society meeting – just hours later – and neglected to mention the changes. It is believed that Debenhams, the cinema, and the community centre, will be repositioned under the new proposals.

   It is not just our town centre that is subject to secret proposals that have local people doubting what is really going on. Rochdale Town Centre is getting a £250 million refurbishment too. (Do these plans just come off the shelf?)

The Rochdale Observer newspaper website has some very choice comments on it.

And guess who has just been picked to do the work? Wilson Bowden. Good luck Rochdale, you will need it.
