Manchester has started the referendum on whether to continue to be a clogged-up congested, polluted city or start to bring some sanity to the streets. The vote on whether to introduce a peak-time congestion charge, and use the money raised to improve public transport, cycling and walking facilities continues until 11th December.
Our colleagues in Greater Manchester Cycling Campaign are at the forefront of the Yes campaign and have arranged a series of events including their biggest ever Critical Commute, this Friday the 28th - to join see http://www.loveyourbike.org for details or just turn up with your bike at 8.30am at the Peace Gardens, St Peter's Square.
Meanwhile there will be a Tour De Tiff a Tour of Greater Manchester on Saturday 29th November. The start will be at Swinton Town Hall, (officially called Salford Civic Centre), Chorley Road, Swinton, Salford M27 5AW. The finish, 80 miles later will be at Manchester Town Hall, Albert Square.
Olly Glover, GMCC Secretary says " There is much in the proposals which will benefit cyclists, directly or indirectly, and the behavioural change programmes are the most radical this
country has ever seen."
Please support them in any way you can. See http://www.gmcc.org.uk/ for more information.
