What makes Mr Iqbal ‘a top councillor’?

[hackey lad]

Labour voters 😂 .  Honestly though the rubbish he’s coming out with lately is comical , forget the portakabins but The Manpower service building changes are happening and happening “soon “ . Now this . “ one year or six months “ . No wonder this great City is stuck fast

I think I kind of see what you mean, but what about during construction - stated to be 6 months to a year, which in Council-speak means about 5 years?

I think Victoria train station in Manchester stayed open for the whole time the Arena was built over it, so suppose anything is possible.

Could easily close half at a time tbf, and people may have to use different stops for a few months (shock horror)
