Chorlton has the second largest shopping district in Manchester. It stands out as a place where independent local traders thrive. KCI want this to continue. We believe:

- it will not be possible for independent traders to thrive alongside another supermarket. We oppose the inclusion of a new supermarket any larger than the existing Quality Save store (around 10,000 sq feet).

- an influx of chain stores able to afford high rents in a new precinct would upset the balance of retail provision and destroy Chorlton's identity.

- that Manchester City Council should designate the redevelopment of the Chorlton Precinct and surrounding area as a sustainable regeneration neighbourhood as a matter of urgency, creating an internationally recognised example of best practice fit for 2050 and beyond.
