Happy 2019. But is it for the Gay Village?

Still, the development plans under too long leaders, leave many worries for a damaged area that has not been supported fairly over the long-term. Many fear the worst planning, design and planning imaginable.

95% of our hundred's of respondents of our survey felt had done poorly with Manchester's Gay Village in the long-term, with 98% scared for its future. After forcing through a development plan without even a rewritten report, let alone graphics or designs, the area should be afraid of our failing leaders, planners and hostile developers.

This is why we started a new petition, because the same names, same interests dominate and damage the city without scrutiny or allowing communities a genuine say, in the hope for a demise of the area into banal prime real estate.

Soon, we will be appearing in a short documentary about this campaign and why MCC have resisted ever declaring the Gay Village a cultural heritage area for the LGBTQ community because the too long leader of 22 years doesn't want it to be.

We hope you will remain alert, ready to demand better and defend a future for an area which deserves so much more respect.

We also hope you will sign a petition to hold our leaders accountable for their property biases and interests, such as working with human rights abusers, persecutors of the LGBTQ minorities in the UAE - which shame our city and show the true value we hold for these leaders, who prefer luxury property portfolio's above communities.

It is time the city demanded imagination, transparency, fairness and respect, something not given by a too long leadership for the Gay Village.

We hope 2019 brings better, but you'll need to demand it.
