The case for a Manchester lido, and the case against pop-up beach clubs

Jack Dulhanty's writer's edition

Dear members — hey! It’s Jack here, with a writer’s edition. To new members among you, these are where our staff writers put together a personal newsletter of observations about Greater Manchester and stuff they’ve been getting up to.

Today, I wonder why Manchester doesn’t have a lido yet, question which of the city’s buildings are “worth” saving and catch up with Winnie Su, the Royal Northern College of Music pianist who longer-toothed members will remember from my piece about her last year. That’s all below. But first, a run-through of the news, including the latest in Stockport’s rapid development, Bolton Council shutting down a long-term caravan site and Oldham welcoming the return of it’s beloved Coliseum Theatre. Enjoy!
