'The scaffolding obscures a lot of the Coronation Street façade'

A proposal to replace scaffolding with netting to preserve crumbling masonry on part of the historic Winter Gardens site has got the go-ahead after being backed by heritage chiefs.

The decision notice says: “The scaffolding obscures a lot of the Coronation Street façade and makes the street appear cluttered, detracting from the appearance of the Winter Gardens.“Various repairs are required to the façade, however, due to funding these cannot yet be carried out and there is no fixed date anticipated. The proposed netting would replace the existing scaffolding and is intended to be a temporary measure until funding can be secured for the repairs.
