The move is expected to boost the city's economy and create new green spaces
Three major masterplans that will shape the future of Manchester have been redrawn in a move to boost the city's economy and create new green spaces. The former Central Retail Park, which is set to become government offices, will now feature a park following a public backlash against the previous plans.
Speaking at the executive meeting, Coun Craig said the plans to create 20m sq ft of office space at the site could be a 'game changer' for jobs in the city. She said: "In this current climate, when we're finding it so difficult economically in the country to still see people interested in moving, building and developing, this is a great vote of confidence for the city."
However, a new public park named 'The Garden' is at the centre of the plans. The Lib Dems, who beat Labour at a by-election in the Ancoats and Beswick ward earlier this year, credited the addition of the park to local campaigners.
