I Really think its needs to cover the many different parts of chorlton. Like Nell Lane, and Mersey Bank.
Its not all Chorlton-Ville, We dont all Juggle and drink on chortlon green.
I should hope not. We Chorlton Green drinkers know how to spell and punctuate.
Although the "Estates" are technically part of Chorlton, they are classed as being part of "Barlow Moor", if you are interested. Anyway, what's to talk about two residential, largely council, estates anyway? Unless you want to talk about the crime stats of course.
See, Now that attitude the problem, You "Chorlton Greeners" act all stuck up like that, then you wonder why we steal your cars?
The Estates are the heart of chorlton, and manchester, without us there would be no "chorlton green"
Maybe you should into mersey bank or nell lane estates and express your views there? I doubt you would.
If you do steal cars it's because you are criminals. "The Estates" are residential add-ons and play little part in the culture or development of Chorlton. That's not a criticism, just a fact. Chorlton Green is hundreds of years old.... can you say the same of the estates?
As for expressing my views in Nell lane or Merseybank? I wouldn't do that because a) there would be no point, and b) I don't want my head kicked in. This is common sense surely?
I don't live in Chorlton Green by the way, I drink there from time to time.
It is wrong to say that until the 1990's Chorlton was working class whatever that means. The development of the area was by those workers who could afford to live away from their work in Manchester. Many of these lived in rented properties in what is now referred to as Chorlton Green area and many followed with the building of the council and private estates between the wars. They kept the green pubs and local shops viable before the students and trendies took over the area.
[edit] Merge with Val Stevens
The article for Val Stevens asserts no independent notability apart from representing the Chorlton ward. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abid Chohan. JASpencer 09:42, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I strongly oppose any political merging with these people. They are elected officials, and have no bearing on the area of Chorlton other than that.
It is sensible to mention their involvement, but to go further and attempt to absorb their own entries is inappropriate and I WILL oppose it. --Hardylane 22:36, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
I strongly oppose the merger of councillors with their wards - not only does this make it much harder to keep track of which councillors exist and that the information is correct, but it adds information that isn't really relevant to the Chorlton-cum-Hary article. Val Stevens is notable - she is the Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council. Thegraham 09:04, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
These three councillors are only notable because they represent Chorlton-cum-Hardy on Manchester City Council. The individuals outwith their representation for Chorlton-cum-Hardy are not notable. I strongly support the merger. Rhyddfrydol 01:16, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps the councillor entries should be removed altogether, since their existance in the Wikipedia only serve to publicise themselves. None of them have brought anything of merit or note to Chorlton. I continue to oppose having their name on the Chorlton page. Hardylane 19:06, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
