Manchester Congestion Charge Debate

Published on February 12, 2008 in Manchester. 2 Comments

Greater Manchester’s Labour leaders might be running away from the debate about the congestion charge, but it seems in one small part of Manchester they do things differently.

Manchester City Centre Conservative candidate (and Chairman of Manchester Conservatives) Rob Adlard will be joined by his Council opponents and others for a debate on congestion charging on Wednesday March 19th. The debate is being held at the Central Methodist Hall on Oldham Street in central Manchester, starting at 6.30pm.

It should be an interesting evening and all are welcome to attend.

Catholic School Plan - Your Views Wanted

Published on February 12, 2008 in Salford and Walkden. 2 Comments

Local residents may well already have seen the article in today’s Manchester Evening News about a potential new Catholic “super school”.

As a local Councillor I have said from the outset that the Council should not be closing down a good school - and St George’s is a very good school. That remains the case. Any new school would not be St George’s.

I - and my colleagues - need to know what local residents, pupils, parents and staff think about this new proposal. Please leave a message on this post or e-mail me at councillor.lindley@salford.gov.uk and tell me your views.
