RESIDENTS in a Manchester suburb on the brink of change are demanding 'no demolitions' as they face uncertainty over their future.
Formed in the summer, the 'No Demolitions Collyhurst' campaign group is pushing back against potential demolitions in the area.
It comes as they await further details on the £4bn Victoria North development, which spans from Manchester city centre to Collyhurst.
The scheme, which is divided into seven neighbourhoods, including Collyhurst Village and South Collyhurst, will see 15,000 new homes built in this corner of the city, starting at Angel Meadows in the south and extending up to Queens Road.
In Collyhurst, 274 homes are being built, with up to 2,500 in the pipeline - but some residents in the neighbourhood are waiting to find out what it means for them.
While many of the new homes planned will be social housing, some will be replacing existing properties on the council estate that is currently on the site. Manchester council says that residents whose homes may be demolished will be offered a new home in the area.
But campaigners fear they will be 'displaced. And some residents say they have been left 'in limbo' as the council decides what to do.
