Looking at #GreaterManchester, he shared the city region's ambition for everyone to live a good life and benefit from economic growth and public service reform.

Demand a Better Plan for a Greater Manchester! Transport for Greater Manchester (TFGM) is currently consulting on the future of transport in the city region. Their Vision includes fine words about making Greater Manchester’s transport system inclusive and affordable, environmentally responsible, safe and secure, healthy and well-maintained. Yet the proposed targets and delivery plan fall well short of this Vision. As groups in Greater Manchester with interests in health, the environment, safer roads and better transport, we are calling on Greater Manchester’s leaders to set more ambitious targets. We want them to increase the proportion of trips that people make using clean and healthy transport (e.g. walking, wheeling or cycling, public, shared or community transport). These need to be safe, convenient, affordable and accessible to all, so that fewer people feel their only option is to drive. Please respond to the consultation by 9th March. Just put your name, address and email in the ‘Take Action’ panel, then click the ‘Start Writing’ button to send a response. You can edit the suggested text as you see fit. When you’re ready, hit ‘Send Letter’. The whole process should take less than a minute. Thanks for telling TfGM we need a Better Plan for a Greater Manchester!

You've til Monday to demand a better transport plan for Greater Manchester. We need more than a 8% reduction in motor traffic!!
