The closing of Afflecks represents the growing gentrification of Manchester where all that made the city great is being turned into lofts and offices

I am one of those people who wish to begin their own small business and if Afflecks were to close, or rent doubled, how are people like me supposed to get on the ladder in an ideal area? We need this place kept as it is. People complain that there is nothing for Kids, hence why many are turning to crime. Stop taking places like this away from them then

I grew up in Manchester and Afflecks was a key feature of this. A visit over Christmas reminded me of all that it had to offer and I promised to go back again soon. It is a credit to Manchesters individuality and shouldn't be lost.
