A public appeal for information has been issued following a ‘life-threatening’ stabbing in Cheetham Hill yesterday afternoon.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) explained that officers were called to reports of a stabbing on Woodlands Road, in the Cheetham Hill area of Manchester, at around 4:10pm yesterday afternoon (11 November), and emergency services rushed to the scene.

A police investigation is now underway, and the scene has been secured and cordoned off.

A Section 60 has been put in place until 10am this morning (12 November), which gives officers extra powers to ‘stop and search’ individuals in the area.

Man City to open latest Greater Manchester club shop at Trafford Centre

Manchester City Football Club are set to open another brand-new store at the Trafford Centre, and just in time for Christmas.

With the festive period approaching, plenty of people will be looking to buy the latest shirts and merch of their beloved team, and with the Blues now a bigger brand than ever, they’ve put plenty of time into levelling up the club shop experience.

Having opened their massive Man City store inside the Arndale back in 2023, as well as continued plans for an upgraded club shop at the Etihad Stadium as part of the ongoing campus expansion, this new venue is set to be their fifth in total.

Their third in Greater Manchester, all told, it’s also set to be one of their largest to date.

Although confirmation of the plans came back in October, City have officially announced themselves in the Trafford Centre this month.

With the hoardings going up over on Peel Avenue – the section of the huge mall arguably most well-known for its multi-storey John Lewis department store – they’ll be opening their doors just next to the branch of Waterstones.

In fact, you definitely can’t miss it because not only is there a giant MCFC badge plastered over the windows, but it also happens to be right next to the big Christmas tree.

This comes after sports and streetwear franchises like Gymshark and Urban Outfitters joined the North West tourist attraction, not to mention the massive Zara and Bershka sites that opened recently, as well as other global names like Pop Mart.

Put simply, there’s been plenty of new arrivals this year, and there are several others to come.

Although we’ve not got an exact opening date just yet, the posters displayed across the window simply read “Coming November”, so Cityzens won’t have to wait long.

Furthermore, job vacancies for retail roles working within the upcoming location are already listed on the official Trafford Centre careers page.

Last but not least, there are scheduled be a number of other new openings in the shopping arcade, leisure and entertainment destination, so keep your eyes peeled on socials for more info soon.
