3rdAge Hostelling and Housing Coast and City: Walkers/Cyclists Hostels/community hub, supporting Co-operative and Cohousing.

About www.3ha.org.uk

3rdAge Hostelling and Housing's walkers/cyclists' spa-hostels/community hubs with therapy room:

We are a start-up social enterprise/charity with semi-derelict properties in Stretford's future 'Civic Quarter' in Greater Manchester and in the centre of Llanfairfechan in Conwy, North Wales. Our initial aim is to provide holiday accommodation with therapy room/community hubs for

walkers and cyclists of all ages, to encourage older people to keep fit and to feel less isolated, and to subsidise therapies to older members of the community on limited incomes: Think of us as the poor man's Spa, offering massage for aching bones at the end of a day's rambling. www,3ha.org.uk also hopes to help older, property-rich but cash-poor, owner-occupiers of suitable houses to sell their homes to a housing co-operative of which they will be a member. Properties appropriate for conversion could provide a self-contained ground floor flat for the former owner-occupier, whilst freeing-up unoccupied bedrooms in order to create self-contained accommodation for younger members of the co-operative. At the moment property-rich but cash-strapped 'golden-oldies' have few options which would enable them to age-in-place i.e. the option to take an equity-release payment to provide needed living expenses or to down-size and relocate. Equity-release may not be suitable and relocating may not be desirable, plus the number of bungalows available is limited. We also hope to accommodate older people during the conversion of their homes to co-operative housing: Housing Co-operatives are another option with social benefits. Should the property be too expensive for the co-operative to purchase 100% the original owner-occupier could retain some equity, and this could be purchased by the co-operative at a later date. We are still working on the fine details but if you would like to get involved please give us a 'Like' and get in touch. Our future '3rdAge Hostelling Association' needs Board Members and would welcome any and all advice, particularly in the fields of accountancy and legal. We own semi-derelict properties in Stretford's future 'Civic Quarter' and in the centre of Llanfairfechan's High Street. All are in need of energy-efficient renovations and we would welcome expressions of interest/investment, particularly from those AWOC (ageing without children) who are invited to get involved with an interesting project with the possibility of long-term accommodation on site or nearby.

Join us this Friday 27th September for a wellbeing and mindful photo walk as we join with the community mile champions.

Meet at St John's Centre Old Trafford M16 7GX at 10am for a short 30 min guided walk around Old Trafford and be inspired to take photos of beautiful things in unusual places. We'll then head to the OTCS studio for brews, chat and to share what we've done.

No experience needed, just bring something to take photos with (smart phone or camera) or just enjoy the walk and use your eyes.

We look forward to seeing you!

Historically Plunkett UK have focused more on rural than urban Community Hubs. A while ago I seem to recall that they were going to begin paying more attention to urban Community Hubs?

At Plunkett UK, we are proud to promote this by creating safe and welcoming spaces for all. In 2023, Plunkett published its commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion in the context of the work it does to support new groups and trading community businesses across the UK.

3ha.org.uk's 20-year dream of a Stretford-based walkers/cyclists hostel/community hub with therapy room has finally been killed by bureaucracy charging an unmandated 4 x the annual Council Tax for properties which, following their closure by Trafford Council, were maliciously damaged by tenants: If you need any plant pots let me know!

The forced closure of Manchester's 1st BackPackers Hostel was first written about by Travel Editor of 'The Independent' Simon Calder, on Saturday, 22 February 2003: "The first casualty of bureaucracy is cheap sleep."

Still hoping to tempt Fb 'Followers'/Supporters to make an auction bid (SDL link below), including those few in my family who may have the wherewithal, particularly those on Manchester's Red side!

Think of the future, your descendants may support the devil with a trident, the arts and humanities (Imperial War Museum, Lowry Theatre and Art Gallery, Granada and BBC studios) or be future watersports afficionados rowing on the Bridgewater Canal or sailing on the Manchester Ship Canal. Plus the opportunity to support both pensioners and those young people who do not have the 'Bank of Mum and Dad' to provide help with their housing.

Andy Burnham's announcements at yesterday's Labour Conference in Liverpool seem to have raised a smile at Oxford Economics and worldwide interest. The development will link both sides of Chester Road (A56), allowing ease of access directly from GreatStone Road to the Quays.

Perhaps Grolar Limited (https://hspg.co.uk/about-us/), the developers who got involved in April 2024, will make a bid?

41 GreatStone Road is a long-term investment within Trafford's future 'Civic Quarter' which encompasses Trafford College, Stretford Police Station, Trafford Town Hall and Gardens, Lancashire Cricket Ground (Old Trafford), University Academy 92, et al.

My plan is to retain and refurbish no. 43 GreatStone Road, hopefully working in conjunction with the purchasers of no. 41 GreatStone Road, auction details of which are directly below.

https://www.sdlauctions.co.uk/property/44829/semi-detached-house-for-auction-manchester

Relocating the Rail Terminal from what is now the top end of GreatStone Road will open up a direct route to Manchester United's stadium, the Manchester Ship Canal, the Imperial War Museum, the Lowry Theatre and Art Gallery and Media City at Salford Quays and, no doubt, a direct rail route to the West: The present line runs between Manchester city centre, Liverpool and the west but trains no longer stop at Old Trafford.

The present rail terminal, a 5 minute walk from 3ha.org.uk's GreatStone Road houses, blocks a future walking/cycling route to Manchester United and Salford Quays.

A pivotal land deal that could help unlock the economic benefits of the proposed new Manchester United FC stadium is being worked on by metro mayors Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram.

24/09/2024

Both of our iconic 'Old Trafford' stadiums are actually in Stretford and, unless it's been moved again, the former Warwick Road which leads from the Old Trafford Metro station to the Quays, marks the border.

3rdAge Hostelling's GreatStone Road houses multitude of corporate neighbours include: Manchester United Lancashire County Cricket Club Trafford College University Academy 92 and Trafford Community Collective.

On Thursday, 26 September 2024 an unmandated demand by Trafford Council for 4 times the annual Council Tax will force the sale of no. 41 GreatStone Road, M32 0ZP.

www.3ha.org.uk has 1,300+ Fb 'Followers'/supporters. I had hoped to crowdfund to save the project but having been pursued by Trafford Council for over a year I am now facing bankruptcy and 'Committal to Prison Proceedings' for non payment of £1978.92.

Between 2020-2025 Trafford have demanded Council Tax plus costs of close to £60,000 for a pair of houses, uninhabited thanks to malicious damage by tenants, thieves and children.

I have had hundred of offers for these houses, particularly from developers who just wish to flip them. My project for a small ground floor walkers/cyclists hostel/community hub with therapy room with co-operative housing above would have benefitted the community in the long-term and not just an individual family or developers.

No. 41 GreatStone Road, Stretford, M32 0ZP is listed with SDL Auctions on Thursday, 26 September 2024, a 10% deposit would secure the sale.

Questioning comes at a cost but keep paying it!

Richard Feynman believed in the value of questioning over having unquestionable answers. He argued that the pursuit of knowledge should be driven by curiosity and skepticism rather than settling for absolute truths. Feynman emphasized that questions which challenge our understanding and push the boundaries of our knowledge are more valuable than rigid answers that shut down further inquiry. This approach encourages a dynamic, open-minded pursuit of knowledge, where the process of questioning itself leads to deeper insights and continuous learning. By valuing questions that provoke thought, we foster intellectual growth and scientific advancement.

In-person tickets open: Why Does Britain Have a Housing Crisis?

Book free via: https://gres.hm/britain-housing-crisis

Since 1960, the average age of buying a first house has risen over 10 years, and the multiple of income needed has increased. From the late 1970s, social housing declined and problems of home ownership subsequently arose. As a result, more people rent nowadays, often in substandard accommodation.

Prof Martin Daunton* asks: Why has housing in British cities reached this state of crisis? This lecture looks back to the Victorian era and will explain the shift to owner-occupation and council housing after the First World War. It considers possible solutions and asks whether there are lessons from other cities.

49.50. Recovery from COVID and the growth of controls on movement:

During parades private security companies now arbitrarily close roads. Their operatives, usually unfamiliar with those layouts, can be aggressive and remonstrating results in a form of kettleing; they often behave like police!
