Manchester city centre’s baby boom has brought a wave of new families to town. The families come with a wave of needs that they believe will not be addressed anytime soon.
Principally, as the Manchester Evening News revealed last week, their needs include access to green space for little ones to ‘be free’ in, and education provision. Even with new parks coming up, many are not near enough to be convenient, they said.
Although the city centre already has one primary school — New Islington Co-Op Academy — and another one on Crown Street in Deansgate is set to be built for 2024, parents fear they’ll have to move to suburbia when their children hit age 11.
