What don’t you like about Chorlton?

Far too many cars parked on the pavements and along the streets, people seem to think they have a god given right to drive and park their car anywhere. There should be fines for blocking bike lanes, causing difficulties for less able bodies people and getting in the way of people with push chairs, it’s awful.

What are the best things about Chorlton?

People are generally friendly, lovely independent shops and restaurants, being close to the river and the big trees!

What would you like to improve?

More pedestrianised streets! (Particularly Beech Road)There could be more roads blocked off to cars so that people can enjoy them, reduce air pollution and play out. There does need to be better public transport connections, the tram is great, but not for getting across town. More bike lanes! The new one along Barlowmore Road is good, but these need to be extended. The Fallowfield loop is an absolute joy. More trees planted along the streets!

Privileged, lacking in diversity, car mad!

What don’t you like about Chorlton?

Beech Road - would prefer the section with the shops, cafes, bars etc to be pedestrianised. It has been awful during lockdowns - impossible to walk down and keep a distance. I am angry that some of the traders put their views above the safety of local people opposing trialling closing the road - especially when it may have increased footfall and business. There are too many bars, restaurants, coffee shops in relation to other shops and services. Chorlton has lost its unique character. Too many 2 car households, especially given the transport links. Sandy Lane is congested.

What are the best things about Chorlton?

I know people. Green spaces. Lots of places to eat and drink.

What would you like to improve?

More places to sit - social seating. More traffic free areas (eg Beech Road). More housing options for people throughout the life span (eg bungalows, flats developed for older people rather than always targeted at a young market, affordable housing). The new pool is out of the way - it would be nice to have one more central.

What three words would you use to describe Chorlton?

Pretentious, friendly, expensive
