Across the roundabout to the right is Denton Golf Course, which in 1999 awaits possible redevelopment under a controversial plan recently re-named Waterside Park. The case of two men killed after falling from a window of the Ramada Renaissance Hotel in the city centre made national news headlines yesterday. Despite these incidents, I don't feel I'm in danger on the streets of Manchester.
Rain is forecast for later in the week.
