We the undersigned are urging Manchester City Council to CPO [Compulsary Purchase Order] London Road Fire Station and take it out of the hands of the current owners who despite owning the building for over 15 years have yet to come up with any credible plan to develop it. The building is a jewel in the heart of Manchester and has been left to rot, we feel this is unacceptable and cannot continue. The recent 'proposals' are not worthy of this grand building, we feel the council will recognize this and should CPO the building at the first opportunity. We would like the building to be restored to it's former glory and the current owners seem unable or unwilling to do this.
