'I am fighting for my business and my staff and what is one of only three nurseries in the city centre'
The owner of a Manchester city centre nursery claims his business will be "killed" if a proposed 15-storey apartment block is allowed to be built 'three feet from its play area.'
He added that, if he were to shut his doors, that would represent a loss of 81 childcare places in the Deansgate and Piccadilly wards of the city — with the nursery serving residents in both. That, he argued, would mean ‘there's not a cat in hell's chance of meeting’ future demand in the area. “The regeneration of the site, which has been left in an undesirable state for a number of years, will deliver significant benefits to the nursery, including a new, security-controlled, attractive and well-signposted entrance from Charles Street, to help improve safety and security at drop-offs and pick-ups.
