I ALSO wish to protest about the proposed development of apartments on land at Clarence Road.

I lived close by for many years and know the area well. To think that someone can come along and buy up perfectly good housing stock just to knock it down for another development is scandalous.

There is a trend in south Trafford for good houses to be demolished and the land used to cram on as many apartments or town houses as possible - the more units built the more profit made. Trafford Council should be putting a lid on it before the district becomes irretrievabley scarred.
