I've just been into the town for the first time in ages and I'm amazed at 
the state of the place . Stamford New Road is one way and a mass of 
roadworks Regent Street is closed at the bottom end and George St is more or 
less rubble at the eastern end. I think we should be looking at twinning the 
town with somewhere similar say Ground Zero or Beirut or maybe Baghdad? How 
on earth can a council allow this to happen are they trying to dry up the 
town ,drive out the traders and force shoppers to the Trafford Centre.

You'd think they  all have shares in Peel holdings.
