Gary Neville has admitted his £200m plans for two bronze skyscrapers in Manchester city centre have “failed miserably” in the wake of huge opposition from heritage groups. On Wednesday Neville said he had asked Manchester city council not to consider the application in its current form and that it would undergo further refinements. “We have currently asked Manchester city council to not determine our application because we are going to make further refinements to the project. Giggs and Neville insist the work would transform the St Michael’s area near Manchester town hall and the Central Library. It has to be perfect for Manchester.”Facebook Twitter Pinterest Ryan Giggs (left) and Gary Neville unveil their proposed Manchester development in July 2016.
