Standing in Wythenshawe's civic centre it's hard not to notice the sound of low-flying planes as they take off from nearby Manchester Airport. Holidaymakers pack out aircrafts as they jet off to sunny destinations in time for the summer holidays.
Just one mile away, shoppers in the town centre flock to B&M and Wilko in search of a good bargain, or meet for a coffee at the packed-out Costa branch which backs on to the busy shopping street.
Despite living less than a ten-minute drive away from the country's third busiest airport, many residents here won't use it this summer, as the soaring cost of living has made holidays abroad unaffordable.
