i believe there is a new brothel that is opening in levenshulme in 2 weeks time. they're just waiting on their late entertainment licence. a (defined) nightclub in prague and the nightclub that is opening, golden prague (was formerly the wheatsheaf), are one & the same thing-a brothel! they're trying to open a sex establishment on the a6 in an ex public house. the way they're trying to get around the law is by obtaining a late entertainment licence, having a nightclub downstairs with dancers (prostitutes)&then the men can take them upstairs (private members club-only men?) to the old hotel rooms & pay for sex (or getting round the no money changing hands another way). after having been in there it seems not really czech/slovakian/polish but has clientele who are more like serbian/romanian/albanian, & the locals. the few key members of staff are probably czech/slovakian but the rest involved are not. is there anything that can be done now rather than after the fact? isnt having jackies (rear entrance!)& the rest bad enough? bringing prostitution into a public house on an busy a-road from manchester-stockport, ie making it part of accepted society is disgusting & will not do our children any favours. trying to get around english laws&taking the residents for fools is not acceptable! dont get me wrong i am sure a lot of the men would love it-they should stick to sneaking out of sleezy shop doorsways or go back on holiday to thailand/the dam etc. isnt our current society bad enough with the gangsters and the wannabe gangsters? - if something isnt done to stop this going ahead we will probably have albania/serbian gypsy gangsters and czech/albanian etc prostitutes versus the levenshulme trouble-makers - and ironically we will then be backing the gangsters hahahahaha! how ironic! not 100% but this needs to be looked into sooner rather than later. does anyone care about the place they live in? - a concerned resident

has anyone else become aware of a low, bassy, vinbrating type noise that i think is always there, but sounds a lot worse in the night? all i can describe it as, is like when someone is having a party in their cellar with the low rumbling "boom boom" noise, but it's consistent rather than a beat. can anyone tell me what it is?

Although I', pleased someone has spent money on the corner unit to open Desi Point Restaurant I am absolutely disgusted that they have did nothing to move their massively over full skip before opening the restaurant. To make matters worse they have no tipped the entire contents on the street which has been there for days and is stinking and infested with rats, and they expect customers to be attracted to the place!!!! I can only assume that soon there will be a persistent rubbish problem with this place if the owners are so unconcerned by a pile of rubbish they created sat outside their brand new place...
It just compounds the problem at this end of the street of Buckhurst Road where it seems tenants are incapable of moving their wheelie bins from the pavements and think it's ok to throw carpets, used nappies etc onto the street. landlords and residents should be prosecuted swiftly if they are incapable of maintaining a basic standard of human cleanliness. The good people of Levenshulme need to make our voices heard above the screaming drunks and litter louts who seem to enjoy living in their own Sh**. It's time we swamped the council with reports from every street that has a problem then they may sit up and take note.

Can everyone please be on their guard against street robberies. There are two men on mountain bikes who have been snatching bags and mugging people around Levenshulme. They robbed a woman this morning near Dunstable Street and have robbed a number of women near the cash machines on Stockport Road.
They have been spotted on a number of occasions loitering near the Nat West Cash Machine at the Stockport Road junction, please be extra vigilant if you spot these two, or if you do witness a robbery please report it to the police. The two thieves description: one white male and one mixed race male, both in their twenties, mid to late. |

For those that did not attend St Richards last night with regards to down turn in the area, the police
informed us that there are over 1,000 roma's in our community and more to come. As I sat and listened to the stories from residents that are being persicuted and having property damaged Cars, windows etc and also the amount of people that were now on medication was horendous. I personaly believe that Levenshulme is finished and its only going to get worse if the police ,council officials and private landlords dont take responsibility. BEFORE some show the 'R' card, it was heartbreaking to hear of people in there retirement age now no longer going out of there homes and unable to sleep at night because of shouting and fighting. The police have informed us of a surveilance which I can not disclose on the site but even this is not going to be a dramatic help. To those that are in the thick of it (i'm just on the edge) I can only pray that your lives become better.

I saw some schoolchildren this morning coughing and wheezing as they passed the Belper tools/Rubber grinding yard on Chapel Street, I looked over at the long plume of smoke and peeked inside. Apparently the burning of waste is illegal within residential areas, I hope the authorities give the owner of this yard a telling off, fine, slap on the wrist or whatever it is they do because they had metal drums full of waste and oil cans etc piled up next to the fire they had made. Maybe they were roasting chestnuts, I doubt it.
We have a push within society to reduce carbon emissions and then we have these scrapyard places burning waste (asbestos maybe, cancer causing pollutants? who knows?) they are killing us with their poison so please anyone else with concerns post up here and maybe we can draft a petition or appeal to the scrap yard owner to stop this practice. |

I agree with your proposals but i think you have used the wrong company t compare it to.
Please bear in mind Virgin Train West Coast Lmt has revolutionised the rail industry. Since privatisation (which i dont agree with) there are in the top 50 britsh companies, Increased trains from Manchester to London from bi-hourly services, to tri-hourly (even off peak and weekends which runs at a loss), increased train times from 2 hour 40 mins to 2 hour 7 mins, introduces the first tilting trains all out of Virgin pockets and not the goverment (Tax Payers). Please bear in mind Virgin have to share the railway and have to operate under Network Rail guidelines, which is why all the line closes, and simply can not "overtake trains" that break down, but even then Virgin pays all their passengers compenastion for all line closures and delays that are not Virgins errors. Once again i disagree with this propsal but please do your homework before slandering a company, bacause this does not look good on your objections. As an employee of Virgin Trains i have an obligation to let them know about your slanderous actions so i have sent a copy of both this blog and the file you have attached, to the CEO of Virgin Trains and Sir Richard Branson Himself. Hopefully this will not affect your objections |

Hi, I need help and advice in what to do next. I have been contacting the council for the last two years about lighting in the alleyway close to where I live. I have been given the usual excuses, not enough funding, not dangerous enough etc etc. This has to stop the fly-tipping is ridiculous, it took the council three weeks, 11 phone calls and three complaints before the council moved it. I have had enough. The shop next door was burgled a few weeks ago, my partner was mugged coming home on Friday night, couldn't see the little shits because there is no lighting and this morning the house next to the park was set on fire. I have had enough, this has got to stop. Is it too much to want to live in a nice civilised area?
I feel that as residents close to the park we get little or no attention. The paths from the other roads/alley ways ve been concreated over and made permanent whilst we are left with a dangerous muddy path. I am so angry, I am running out of things to do, short of selling up and moving. When are FOL meeting next? The councillours in the area have been of no use neither have the crime prevention team at the council. I am going back to the council tomorrow, something needs to be done. I think it's such a shame, this could be such a nice area why should it be ruined by people like this? Any ideas please let me know. Thanks

Hi, does anyone know what is happening with the Arcadia Sports Hall? It's been closed for months now, I know they've been refurbishing the buiilding, painted it and put a new roof on but there has been no answer from the number listed (0161 224 0938) There is no information available on the outside of the building either....i.e. nothing to suggest when they may be re-opening.
I am desperate to take my children rollerskating and make a fool of myself by falling over every 5 seconds. This is a valuable resource for the area and I only hope that it is going to re-open as a Sports Hall and not a Buffet Hall.

I am sick and tired off living in the midst of socially inept people, I'm not a green activist in any manner of the word, not talking about the ferral element we have round here or the immigrant who simply doesn't know any better or doesn't care. But the people like the flytippers that look smart educated with a pristine looking property, who dumped the rubbish in the Public Footpath. 3 Black bin bags to be suffice. Not even secured but with there contents starting to flow. As a regular user of this path I have long become despondent at the amount who use the pathway as a private dumping ground, some are more subtle than others and throw it in the stream that runs through. There is quite a lot of wild life that inhabit including foxes, ducks, squirrels and Oh did I forget rats?, and the junkies doing there deals at all hours of the day. But off course these nice-looking respectable couple have got better ideas. They dump thier rubbish next to the end house, would of been almost on her doorstep if she hadn't had a fence, a mesh fence, I hasten to add. So I in my wisdom have a little rummage and find an adress. I won't give the names but it was first street on left of Cranage Rd. I put a terse note through thier door told them the consequences of flytipping, a very hefty fine , and suggested they move it or face the duty. Some time later on my way home the rubbish had gone! They were seen moving it.
The local tip is not more than 3 mins up the road, the council have an excellent rubbish collection and remove ANY items of domestic rubbish within 10days. This is FREE of CHARGE. So ehat compells people to walk past thier own entry, either walk down a busy road or down a muddy overgrown entry, to dump thier stinking waste next to some-one house in full view of the road?. answers on a postcard, please. I just had to share my local kowledge with you. FLAMING FURIOUS
