Threatened Irwell riverside path to remain open after all.

A developer has scrapped plans to divert a 300-year-old riverside footpath through a hotel lobby after a public outcry that a right of way was being “stolen” and “sacrificed for private gain”.

L&G now guarantees that “from the hotel opening date the towpath shall be dedicated as highway for use by pedestrians for public access in perpetuity”.

Keep the door closed, it says, it doesn't like the breeze rattling through the house.
And you wouldn't want to upset it, it says. Be terrible if the foundations of #Manchester turned into sand and ran into the #Irwell. Wouldn't it?
