I feel quite ambivalent about the demolition of Cine City.
I have fond memories of going there as a child but as it has fallen into disrepair it has become an eyesore. I would much rather that another use was found for the existing building, preferably something that the community would benefit from. I think Withington will be a poorer and certainly less interesting place when the Cinema is demolished.
There does seem to be a constant erosion of our architectural history/legacy within Manchester and it is a shame. As much as I love the City and it's surrounding environs; something needs to happen to reign the council and developers in before we lose the character that makes our city shine
