REGARDING the protests concerning the Flixton green belt, I have to agree with the protesters and have been wondering why Trafford should be looking at using this land when there is a disused site adjacent to the shopping centre (Trafford retail park), near the motorway and close to many existing amenities.
This site used to be a large car dealers and it has been empty for several years. It already has roads, electricity and one assumes water and sewage laid in.
Ideal, one would think, for affordable housing development.
