Afflecks is one of the last remaining distingusing features of a city which once had such a strong cultural identity. To close down Afflecks would be like destroying the soul of Manchester, rendering it another faceless urban sprawl.

A pointless and senseless exercise, Afflecks is a one off, it is totally unique and there is no jusification in closing it down. It is a vital part of manchester and has been for many years. You're seriously missing the bigger picture if you think its just shops and a couple of cafes, come see for yourself, Afflecks is a way of life.

Helen said 04/02/07, 4:33 pm (verified)
There is absolutely no necessity to touch Affleck's Palace. It was my haunt as a teenager and is a vibrant, creative and much-needed piece of Mancunian History. STOP HOMOGENISING OUR CITIES!!

Afflecks is the heart of the Northern Quarter... take it away and what you have left is a city which could be any other city in the country. Manchester already has plenty of retail space and urban flats. Surely there is a limit to the number of people wanting to live in the city centre.

Melissa Doyle said 04/02/07, 1:07 pm (verified)
It would be a total tragedy to lose Afflecks, remember going there way back in the 80's.Pleas e don't get rid of this important part of Manc history !

You can't close afflecks!!! it's part of what makes manchester so cool!!! there's enough flats allready!!! it would be a disgrace if afflecks closed down, it's part of culture, people have grown up with it, and it's the only place you can get cool, unique clothes.

Afflecks palace shouldnt be close! is has the most random things but its so good if you need a present for somebody who is mental. Afflecks brings back so many memories, and i have also bought many things from there aswell. Anyways if they do close it what are they gonna do? convert it into flats like everywhere else? idiots! + its part on Manchesters culture! OOOh im off on one now!

Its wrong! there are not many shops round the uk anyway with this type of clothing. Dont take part of manchester's culture away its unfair. It stops us from being on the streets. Why be selfish? we need somewhere to go an be happy Afflecks does that.

afflecks isn't just a shopping place, it's somewhere to hang out and meet people, it's a major tourist attraction, it's unique - and not like every other faceless, characterless, same-as-everywhere-else shopping places and most importantly it's one of the most culturally important places left in manchester and we should preserve and honour this building.

For Manchester to stay vibrant, the diversity Afflecks Palace holds is necessary to keep the Northern Quarter alive. It's central for the development of Manchester in becoming a truely international 21st century city. Manchester has plenty of other parts to gentrify -the Northern Quarter and Afflecks Palace should be protected and enhanced accordingly for the unique part of the package it offers the city, and its image.
