LOOKING at Davyhulme and the surrounding areas today with the land still being the main issue, things have changed drastically, with most of the Green Belt areas transformed into concrete jungles and the increase in traffic since the Trafford Centre was built.
It may be good for the centre but not for the inadequate overladen road network systems around Davyhulme – even the physicist Albert Einstein would be perplexed in solving the problem of this inadequate road layout.
With the rot well and truly set in, it has now been announced by developer Peel Land and Property that plans are in the pipeline to build a £1 billion housing and business development earmarked for land near the Trafford Centre.
This means hundreds of more acres of greenfield sites going under the hammer, and not to mention another avalanche of motor vehicles descending on roads around the Trafford Centre which are more suitable for a horse and cart than modern day traffic. Slowly but surely we are being squeezed to death, like sardines in a tin.
Maybe developer Peel Land and Property motto should be – I came, I saw, I conquered.
