Tell you what, change of tack.

There's a load of indie businesses struggling during road works.

I don't live or work nearby but I bet a load of you do. So let's get down to Oldham Road, spend some money and make them feel valued (while gently saying nice things about cycle lanes etc.).

What a dreadful response. It's "literally" not answering the questions
Local Stretford councillor’s response to request for cycle parking on Barton Rd is effectively park down the road in a less secure location and walk. All done in a condescending manner.

From the councillor who had to borrow a bike for a photo opportunity when the A56 cones were installed.

We had a great day hosting our #SchoolStreets conference on Friday alongside @walkridegm.org.uk, with such inspiring speakers. It was an excellent opportunity to share good practice, and the pop-up School Street was a huge hit! Next one in October. @stocksyatlarge.bsky.social #GreaterManchester

Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People
@gmcdp.bsky.social & others recently wrote to Greater Manchester Combined Authority to outline legal obligations regarding barriers on traffic-free routes which inhibit the mobility of disabled people.

Here's the response (so far..)?

Some great maintenance work by Salford there, removing the overhanging vegetation on the cycle path on Trafford Rd. Other GM councils take note.

Today I became the President of the The Ramblers in Greater Manchester & High Peak. It’s an honour to take on this role. As I discovered on the Greater Manchester Ringway- there’s so much to explore in our local area and I look forward to using this role to promote accessible routes 🥾🥾🥾

Just a few hours on here and I am already breathing a sigh of relief at the energy. I forgot social media could be like this.

Great to get a look today at Greater Manchester’s 1st School Street enforced by cameras

With GM Active Travel Commissioner @DameSarahStorey, visited the 2 schools in Oldham to speak to headteachers, parents, residents, cllrs - who said it had brought ‘calm where there was chaos’ 1/2
