The DELTA Marriott Hotel (on the edge of Hale Barns) - a very well-used venue for people attending nearby Manchester Airport - has a bleak future: under current Government plans: it is due to be demolished (probably three years hence) to make way for a control centre overseeing the engineering works which will accompany the building of a tunnel to take the future HS2 rail line beneath the adjacent M56 motorway and onwards to a new station serving the Airport, en route to Manchester city centre.
