The Issue

People who live in and visit Chorlton are affected by this issue.

Please sign this petition if you want a better development proposal for Chorlton District Centre.

We want :-

1.A shopping centre  with a variety of retail and pedestrianised  public space which connects Wilbraham Road to Nicolas Road and Barlow Moor Road. 
2.Buildings which are no more than 3- 5 storeys high.
3.Buildings  which are architecturally in keeping with the variety  of low rise buildings and which will enhance the character of Chorlton.
4.Adequate  parking to prevent increased pressure on parking in the surrounding street area.
5.An enhancement of the natural environment.

It's time to act now because a planning application has been submitted to Manchester Council which we  oppose  ( see details below of the application we oppose)
