Ancoats, Manchester

Mike Rampton is actually a bit of an anomaly when it comes to my Street Fighters project. A council tenant from Ancoats in Manchester, he was never particularly against the regeneration of his notorious estate and loves his new property. But he still has some interesting things to say.
I never intended Street Fighters to turn into some anti-regeneration crusade and if I had the money to do so, I would look for more positive stories such as Mike’s.
I know full well that many, many people are happy with how the regeneration process has gone for them. Unfortunately though I’ve been unable to travel around and gather these stories because there is no way I could sell them, and I am not in a position to do this work unfunded.
