A waterfront development aimed at championing "up and coming food and drink independents" has been given the go-ahead. The £5m development at Media City is a scaled-back alternative to an original £26m proposal.
It will see Quayside, the location's southern canal side walkway next to The Lowry theatre transformed. Developers, Peel Land and Property, say the first traders will be operating by Christmas, with "start up brands" in six units created from shipping containers.
Overlooking the iconic view of Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium, The Millennium Bridge and the Imperial War Museum, there will be new terraces for outdoor dining and "attractive landscaping."
