Who's Looking After Levenshulme?

Following the closure of Somerfield (formerly Kwik Save) on Stockport Road and the demolition of the Community Centre on Chapel Street (issues I've documented on this blog) a group of residents are campaigning to see improvements in shopping and community facilities in the area.

They've even drawn up plans of how the area around the former Somerfield might look.



You can find out more, including details of an event at the Somerfield site on Saturday 10th March and a meeting called by the South Manchester Regeneration team on Wednesday 14th March on the website: http://levenshulme.wetpaint.com where you can sign the petition.

it is long over due that Levenshulme had some kind of regeneration. I hope that this idea of st marys square pulls trough as it will help bring the lively hood of Levenshulme up in to the modern world yet holding on to its latter traditions history and multicultural community, be that Irish, English, Asian or American. But i must ask you all what are we going to do for Levenshulme's street saftey as many of levenshulmes dedicated ressidents are moving else where to much more shall we say higher societys enviroments (Heaton Moor and chaple)
