I think it is a disgrace the manchester city council, or whoever has control of this situation, is giving up what is known as a local trading point for the city. If that place goes, and another high street department store opens then it just goes to show the state of things to come. Maybe just bulldover the whole northern quarter and build another Tesco.

Afflecks is a great place for a day out and to close it for some flats (as if we dont already have enuf) is damn right STUPID! Without it there is no point in going to manchester!

:( dont shut it down.its the best stop in manchester, the only place where you can buy the most unusual things and best clothes and hair dye. It's part of manchester, people from my family have been going for years. You cannot do this, go shut some rubbish shop instead. You never listen to the people and what they want, so many people have signed this, so cant you see what we want. PLEASE.

Since my discovery of it 2 years, Afflecks has certainly changed my life. Every store in there has a thousand wonders and it certainly would be sorely missed if it was to be shut down by the thousands who flock there. DONT CLOSE AFFLECKS

Who cares about flats? nobody is gonna want 2 live there! afflecks is the best place in manchester n the only shop where u can buy things that aren't repeated 100 times in all the other shops. if u close afflecks it will make manchester a boring place and there will b no individuality. people come from all over the country 2 c afflecks n u want 2 close it! how idiotic. keep it open!!!!!!!!!!

Running a building like this is expensive and the owners can not lose sight of this fact, however, to let a venue and enterprising busninesses such as these come to nought would be a tragedy for the city centre and one more step down the road to becoming yet another

Closing Afflecks would vastly reduce the characteristics that we love about Manchester (like the rent increases elsewhere in the Northern Quarter are already doing).

Afflecks palice was and still is a marvelous place for unusual and individual things you cannot get anywhere else, i used to live in manchester 4 years ago, and even though i have moved to southend on sea essex i still come up there to go to it.Afflecks is the heart of Manchester for the alternative people to go to, you cannot deny them of this place! It has a long history, and you fat cats have already took the collosuim and the underground market,and the shops we had (where the tesco metro is now!)so dont take this away from us!!

Lets save Affecks from a souless development of trendy flats or some other pointless venture. Manchester will not be the same. It is a unique place where me and all my friends used to get our 70's vintage cords when we were at college. It's still the most interesting place to shop in town and full of individual, cool vendors who deserve to keep trading to new generations of kids who refuse to conform. I predict a riot!!
