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

I'm compiling an audit of all attempted motorbike and scooter theft in levenshulme to present to the police to evidence the problem we have living close to the Fallowfield loop and it's usefulness to thieves as an escape route once a bike has been stolen. Please let me know of approximate dates and if your bike was recovered. Thanks

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 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

Hey has anyone used these builders on Stockport Road? Are they any good, there are so many cowboy builders out there that I'm finding it difficult to get someone decent.

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.
