Task 3 What do different groups of people think of Media City?
Journalist Iain Hollingshead wrote (Jan 2012) about Salford's new Media City Development:
...To an outsider, neither Salford is particularly appealing. Salford Quays, which accommodates the BBC, as well as the Lowry, an upmarket shopping centre, a Holiday Inn, a smattering of restaurants and 350 executive flats, is a soulless glass development. A stone’s throw away is the Ordsall estate, which is in the worst 1 per cent in the country for crime, with five murders in the last year. One victim was Anuj Bidve, an Indian student shot on Boxing Day. Another was a local man shot in a pub in September in front of 60 witnesses, none of whom has come forward. When I visited last week, there was a packed police van on every third corner, sullenly surveying the empty streets.
Further north, in Pendleton ward, is the optimistically named Salford Shopping City, a collection of market stalls, pawnbrokers and pound shops that passes for a centre in a community devoid of focus. During the August riots, 1,000 people poured on to the streets here, with entire families stopping their cars outside Lidl to fill trolleys with food. You can still see the marks on the grassy roundabout where rocks were taken to hurl at shops and police.
Today, the area is filled with the unemployed and the unemployable: inarticulate, threatening youths shrugging off friendly questions with obscenities; disturbingly young mothers; and a couple of more approachable people thoroughly disillusioned with their lot. “Media City is a total waste of money,” says Carl Evans, 46, who is on incapacity benefits. “I wouldn’t go there; there’s nothing there for me.”
