## Resource

Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens is getting a stunning makeover—ditching outdated concrete and fountains for lush lawns, vibrant flowers, and a new Welcome Pavilion designed for year-round events. The revamped kids’ playground and enhanced safety measures, including more police and CCTV, aim to transform the space into a welcoming, family-friendly hub. Councillor Bev Craig highlights this as part of a broader vision to revitalize the entire Piccadilly area, including a new transport hub and Debenhams redevelopment. New visuals are out, and public consultation runs from June 17 to July 15—with drop-in sessions at the Manchester Art Gallery later this month.
