an open discussion session including the audience.
The debate, which is a free-of-charge, is targeted at conservation bodies, access groups, disabled people, retail, banking, and hospitality industries, and historic building owners.

There will an optional tour of accessible historic buildings in central Manchester before the debate. This starts at 5pm from the entrance to the Manchester City Art Gallery.
