Last chance. Closing today.

I cycled phase 1 of the Wilmslow Handforth cycle path, its alright. Better than the share paths in the area. I read people have seen school children use it, that is good to hear.
Peak District councils take note.
Please fill in this consultation to make a pretty dreadful roundabout in Buxton a bit more favourable to active travel!
Hello 2026, time to get to work on changing this before the March deadline? Two minutes of your time for a personal objection. Could really use some wider publicity, please do anything you can!
Just follow this link: www.gmconsult.org/transport/tr...
Select ‘Delivery Plan’, scroll to Map 3.

Consultation is now OPEN on GM’s Transport Strategy 2050, which resurrects old ideas for major roadbuilding over our precious remaining green spaces.
Endorsing an A6-M60 link road and A6 High Lane and Disley bypass would hinder key policies in the plan, wasting money and time on the wrong solution.
