Is there really a war going on in Ancoats?

In this week’s episode, we discuss Ancoats, New Islington and gentrification in the New Manchester. The episode starts in Pollen, the bakery that represents the new residents who have moved to New Islington in their thousands. Joshi and Darryl discuss Joshi’s weekend read about issues of community cohesion in the area, which has prompted a massive reaction online and a public conversation about how the city is changing. We also discuss Factory International, levelling up and - of course - Picadilly Gardens. To read Joshi’s piece, click here: https://manchestermill.co.uk/p/new-islington-ancoats
