Altrincham Garrick Playhouse
“Things We Do For Love”
by Alan Ayckbourn
Directed by John Cunningham
A wondrous mix of domestic and sexual comedy by the master playwright. This recipe of conflicting characters turns tears to laughter in a raw, painful uproarious evening’s entertainment.
This memorably bruising comedy is complete with a most ingenious set.
September 6th – 11th 2010.
£100m scheme for Altrincham
The demolition of two Trafford Council-owned buildings will commence shortly, paving the way for Altrincham’s £100m Altair development.
Oakfield House and the former Nationwide Auto Centre on Oakfield Road will be knocked down as the first step towards developing the five-acre site.
The site, predominantly owned by Trafford Council, is being developed in partnership with developer Nikal and will deliver just under 100,000 sq ft of office space, a 125-bed hotel, 72,000 sq ft of retail space and 7,000 sq ft of leisure space. The town’s ice rink will also be redeveloped.
The scheme is being considered by Trafford Healthcare NHS Trust as one of two possible locations for the new Altrincham General Hospital. An announcement is expected in November 2010.

Welcome return for Market Dave
Welcome home Market Dave
ONE of Altrincham’s best-known characters – Market Dave – made a welcome return to the town this week as he continues his recovery from serious injuries.
Market Dave – real name Dave O’Kell – was welcomed by traders and shoppers as he visited Altrincham Market on Tuesday.
The visit came more than two years after the scrap collector was found unconscious with a head injury on Huxley Street, Broadheath, in April 2008.
It was suspected he had been attacked and robbed but Dave was unable to tell police what happened, and no-one was charged.
Further information may be found on the Altrincham Messenger website.
