I’VE just read the Penny Ferry pub in Latchford is being knocked down. Why?

More houses/flats when there are plenty empty opposite in the housing estate built on the old tannery yard.

How many more homes can you cram into Latchford? The traffic is ridiculous every morning, every night and all day.

I’m furious.

That pub is a gentle old reminder of Latchford being named after the boat used over the Manchester ship canal.

It’s getting ridiculous now.
