Afflecks Palace is an alternative, world famous shopping centre, and is the heart of Manchester's Northern Quarter. Like the Coliseum before it, the company that owns the building is now planning to develop it into something else, probably flats, or to increase the rent dramatically for the existing stallholders.
People come to Manchester from all over the country, and all over the world, with Afflecks being a major draw in this. It inspires trends and sustains the vibrant youth cultures that Manchester is known for, because the way it is set up allows entrepreneurs to start up there cheaply. For Afflecks to close would mean a major blow to the cultural heart of the city, which must not be underestimated. Even if it were to remain open, a major increase in rents (the proposed figures include doubling the current rent) would mean that many of the stallholders would be forced out of business.
We understand that Manchester is a popular, thriving city (and we wouldn't have it any other way)and that this means that people want to live in the city centre. But for somewhere as iconic as Afflecks Palace to close will take Manchester that bit closer to being like anyother city, and losing a major part of its identity. We cannot allow this to happen.
