THIS FRIDAY, MIDDAY. Peel Holdings are currently tearing up the rare plant life down at Pomona again. This is likely so that the area can’t be classed as one of ecological interest and thus protected. What Peel could be doing is making this space into Manchester’s version of the Eden Project, making the most important and beautiful architecture and natural attraction in the country, or simply leaving it be to be enjoyed as it is but they’re intent on making flats on the land eventually. Manchester City Council are on a drive to make a greener city but they are working with Peel to create these flats on the Cornbrook side of the site (but no imminent plans are in place for the part they’re currently tearing up - which begs the question - why are they?) We need to demonstrate how we love our green land, and this area of the city has something of a cult following and rightly so - it’s beautiful and idyllic and historically has been an area of leisure and greenery away from the city - originally marketed as the city’s countryside with no need for a train ride. Let’s bring that back! So let’s reclaim our space and show Peel we value it by having a little picnic in the path of the diggers!
