EDITORIAL<\/span><\/p>\n

We had it all sewn up – the editorial was written, the issue was edited, and we were seconds away from hitting our big red button…<\/span><\/p>\n

… and then we heard this breaking news:<\/span><\/p>\n

Stretford residents have just scored a major success in its opposition to Trafford Council\u2019s regeneration plans, to which the Gary Neville University is integral. The Council has withdrawn its plans for Lacy Street, the proposed site for UA92 student accommodation. They now want to focus on a significantly reduced size, with commercial use alongside joint student and key worker accommodation, and on a much slower timescale to allow for proper consultation. The delay is expected to be a year. There is no information as yet on how this will impact on the main campus development on the old Kellogs site, but this is likely to be a major blow for UA92, which is supposed to be ready for the first student intake in September 2019. Close observers of recent events in Stretford will realise that locals have worked hard to make their voices heard. Their success is, apart from anything else, a lesson to us all in the power of organised opposition.<\/span><\/p>\n
