IT is a vanishing act that David Copperfield would be proud of. However, I'm afraid that the disappearance of Stretford town centre is no illusion. Well it's time for a bit of escapology before it's too late.
What planners and councillors don't seem to realise is that most people don't want hideous Laurence Llewelyn Bowen-isms such as a planned sculpture near the Metro station, nor do they want the crazy paving which we now see down Urmston Lane that gives people headaches when they look at it.
What we want to see is the start of a vibrant town centre.
This easy three point plan could be initiated in order to help the council.
1. Make use of canalside areas
2. Destroy the Arndale
3. That's it!
More of a two point plan but this demonstrates that the problem is not rocket science
