Last chance to respond to Transport Scotland's consultation on the future of the M8 Woodside Viaducts! 🛣️

Rather than waste £500m rebuilding this motorway, we could remove it & invest in sustainable transport connections instead 🚶🚴🌳 🚍

Find out more: RemovetheM8.org.uk

Deadline: 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝟮𝟱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

last day for this is tomorrow, for anyone wanting to grasp at the possibility of not cooking this poisonous abomination in for another sixty years.

Ooooh go on, you know you want to bully Transport Scotland into pulling down part of the M8. You do! Fixing or replacing the viaducts will commit us to having a motorway carving up Glasgow until we all die and long after, probably. Strike the first blow, now, while it’s weak!!!

'I have to bum-shuffle down the stairs in the subway' Glasgow's subway has 15 stations but just two have lifts to the platforms which causes a problem for wheelchair users.

📢 Today at 1pm at Hillhead Subway Station

Come and support Rae and the Access2Transport campaign, putting pressure on SPT to make our public transport network fully-accessible to all! 🚶🧑‍🦽🚇🚍🚉

What an opportunity to make up for past mistakes. Anyone interested in a better future for the city should respond to this because those against definitely will.

The consultation is actually quite short so recommend responding! The M8 is a blight on Glasgow City Centre and scaremongering about short term effects of closing a stretch of motorway will mean very little in the long term when the benefits of repairing the wound on our city's fabric take root.
