Is there nothing that the council can do ? I do believe Afflecks to be part of the cultural heritage of Manchester. I went to L.A. in the summer and people knew Afflecks Palace when I was shopping on Melrose ! Seriously ! xXx

I don't think Bruntwood are stupid enough to allow the place to close. But putting up the rent will kill it anyway, the whole point of Afflecks is to allow new designers, shops outlets to have a chance in the market place, if the rent goes up the whole point of having Afflecks will be lost.

In a world where shopping in every town centre across the country is increasingly similar, becuase of the dominance of multi-national high street stores, it is refreshing to find this Aladdin's Cave of independent shops in Manchester and it acts as a major attraction therein, that can make the Manchester shopping experience unique. It also helps new designers, entrepreneurs and creative types, which contributes to the city's success.

Affleck's Palace is the heart of the Northern Quarter, without it the atmosphere of the whole area would change, thereby defeating the Council's policy to promote this as the creative area of Manchester City Centre. It is also a major tourist draw for people from all over the world, and part of Manchester's cultural identity and heritage.
