Three heritage railway arches in Manchester are being turned into development centres for artists.

The £3.7m HOME Arches will provide "high quality" but cheap rehearsal and training space, the council said.

It will be operated by HOME arts centre in the First Street district when it is finished in May next year.

It is being financed with £2.3m from the government's Levelling Up fund, £900,000 council cash and £500,000 from HOME.

Brilliant!


Thank God it isn’t being spaffed away on trivial projects, like feeding and housing the homeless.
