Discriminatory barriers along the River Mersey in the Heatons highlighted in this video - we need these barriers removed so that everyone can access safe, off-road cycling routes @HeatonsLabour @StockportMBC

Being a pedestrian in the Heatons in the rain really is a horrible experience (even for those of us who don’t mind getting a bit wet!). Not only is almost every drop kerb/junction flooded, forcing peds to either jump (not possible with mobility issues), or go out in the road..

but the 30mph limit we have almost everywhere means that few cars slow down, and pedestrians end up completely drenched from head to toe. We’d love to hear @HeatonsLabour @StockportMBC plans to address these issues. Surely all the more reason for #20isplenty 🚶🏻‍♀️👨🏽‍🦯👩🏼‍🦽☔️

How exactly does spending £15m on a scheme that doesn't include 24hr bus lanes improve journeys for bus passengers manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…

The £15 million plan to 'change how people travel' in Stockport

It's aimed to making bus journeys easier and faster.

Our thoughts are with the young people and their families and we hope they make a full and speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹 This is why we call on @StockportMBC @HeatonsLabour to implement safe streets and a 20mph limit - our children should be able to walk home from school without fear.

This is so short-sighted from @StockportMBC. As @cllrmattwynne says, "I'm really shocked that we've got all this good work with the Interchange and we're wanting to contrast it with putting cyclists - women and kids - up past ...units that are dangerous."

Latest here on plans for the A6. Stockport council said it is open to looking at segregated cycle lanes on the road in future if funding is available. Councillors have criticised the current plans which aim to send cyclists down 'dangerous' back streets. manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…
A6 revamp will be 'free for all' for cyclists, council warned

"It's not great at all. Is this the best we can do in Stockport? Sending people down a horrible industrial estate. These are the questions we've got to ask, we're asking to spend double digits of millions of pounds on crap infrastructure."

As @Owler_Nook points out, the A6 is the busiest cycle route in Stockport. It is vital for connecting the Heatons to the city centre. @StockportMBC must accept that people want to use this route and make it safe for them to do so.🚲🦽🛴👨‍👧‍👦👩‍👩‍👦‍👦

Indirect, unattractive alternative routes: 💀 Perpetuate danger on the most popular route 🙈 Aren’t seen by the people you want to impact 📉 Allow main road congestion to keep worsening 🙋‍♀️ Deny safe routes to women and girls at night 🌳 Work well for some people, some of the time

Cycle routes on main roads: ♿ Enable new user groups like families and disabled cyclists to use the road 📈 Achieve modal shift 🤕 Prevent injuries and fatal accidents 🚌 Reduce congestion 🫀 Benefit public health

On 4 September, when the new term begins, @OldhamCouncil will become the first local authority in #GreaterManchester to use ANPR technology to keep children safe by reducing road danger near a school 👏 Well done to all involved in a big win for Oldham oldham.gov.uk/news/article/2…

Fantastic! This route is an important cut through for people in the Heatons wanting to walk or cycle to the TPT, and is usually completely inaccessible. Big thanks to @Jamesdestafford and @Boxrick, but disappointing from @StockportMBC @HeatonsLabour that this is necessary.

For any of our followers unfamiliar with this path, it's located here on the map and (in theory!) provides great access to Mersey Vale Nature Park and the river from Heaton Moor/Didsbury Road🌳
