## Resource

Manchester’s Gay Village is set to transform this summer with a bold new trial: extra outdoor cafe seating starting July 10th. By turning Bloom Street into a one-way street and closing Richmond Street to through traffic, the city is creating dedicated chill zones for bars, restaurants, and cafes — mirroring successful models elsewhere in Manchester. This move, part of the Gay Village Action Plan, aims to boost local businesses, enhance community vibes, and support the area’s vibrant nightlife and culture. The trial runs through September 1st, with the council eager to gather feedback before deciding if this change should become permanent — all to keep the Gay Village thriving for locals and visitors alike.
