Remembering Stephen Lawrence (13 September, 1974 – 22 April, 1993) on the 31st anniversary of his murder.
The life of this aspiring architect was brutally ended by a cowardly bunch of racists.
May Stephen continue to RIP - thinking of his family today

Small boy has just solved the jam/ cream debate by putting one on each side of the scone and eating it like a burger. He’ll go far.

A pity the article doesn't say how much a car parking permit costs, but I'll bet it isn't £400+ (6 bikes at £72 a yr is £432)
And I suspect the car parking permits haven't gone up six fold either.

Same story the world over

Hi Manchester City Council

Are there any plans to get these barriers on the Fallowfield Loop made accessible this year please, while you’re the 2024 European Capital of Cycling?

Bev Craig @damesarahstorey Are either of you able to help please?

Pretty sure that to reopen The Vessel with 'floor to ceiling' steel mesh & only opening the bottom half to public is admission that the design is deadly.

The Low Traffic Neighbourhood review referenced a study that found LTNs reduce all injuries by 50% (85% for pedestrians) with no increase on boundary main roads.

LTNs should be a core foundation of your council's Road Danger Reduction Strategy.

Bud Garden Centre Just Some Fella 🍉 Manchester News MEN Paul Bower And I think people were only just starting to really feel the benefits - should absolutely have been left to run through the summer.

The data bears that out, eg 1693 vehicles per day on Parsonage, was reduced to 355.

Andy Burnham's record on air pollution simply isn't good enough

History will not be favourable

Excellent journalism from Maisie Lawton at Manchester News MEN which digs deep into the data and facts, doesn’t rely on anecdotes and rhetoric and gives a well balanced range of opinions.
