The website is intended as a questioning tool as to the buildings future and also as an archive tool for memories and history. The intent of the website has always been to generate peaceful discussion on the subject and to ask questions in the hope that one day there will be answers - nothing more! We do not endorse aggressive or accusatory behaviour towards the owners of the building, who we trust have the buildings best interests at the centre of their plans.

Agree that aggressive/intimdating behaviour is totally unacceptable.
The owner should never been subjected to this kind of behaviour.
Progress should be made through persuasion or if necessary legal enforcement. If nothing changes Trafford Council COULD do something about it if it really wanted to:-
"However, in the case of listed buildings, where it appears to the Local Authority that the building is not being properly maintained, it can serve a notice (a Building Repairs Notice) on the owner requiring necessary works to be undertaken within a specific time. Failure to comply with such a notice could lead to the Council compulsorily purchasing the property. If it appears that the property is being deliberately neglected, the Council can apply to acquire the property at minimal compensation to the owner. If the property is
unoccupied, the Council can undertake the works to protect the building itself and then recover the costs from the owner".(Source: Listed buildings Supplementary Planning Guidance)
