AN Olympic-sized ice rink looks set to be built on top of a multi-storey car park in Greater Manchester.

The county's only remaining rink, in Altrincham, will close at the end of the month, ending 42 years of ice hockey competition in the county.

But there are plans by British ice dance champion Nicky Slater to build a new rink in Altrincham at a cost of £3 million.
