Residents kicking off over multi-use games area near their homes

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Neighbouring residents crying "foul" over plans to build a floodlit sports ground on the site of a former primary school building look set for disappointment.

The scheme to build a new multi-use games area (MUGA) on the footprint of the old Acre Hall Primary School building in Flixton looks likely to be approved.

A recommendation for the scheme to get the green light is to be made to Trafford's planning and development management committee on Thursday (September 8), despite objections from 11 residents in the area.

Bright Futures Educational Trust wants to demolish the redundant school building on Irlam Road and replace it with a MUGA with a three-metre-high perimeter fence and six floodlighting columns.
