TIF Roadshow In Eccles - Tomorrow

Published on September 8, 2008 in Manchester and Salford. 1 Comment

The TIF and Congestion Charge Consultation Roadshow stops off down the road in Eccles tomorrow (Tuesday 9th September). You can find it outside Morrisons from 11am until 7pm. It’s a good chance to go along and have your say.

There are also two further roadshows in Salford - one here in Walkden (25th September) and a final one at the University of Salford on 1st October.

United Utilities Water Pipeline

Published on September 8, 2008 in Walkden. 2 Comments

Local residents may be aware of the United Utilities proposal to build a giant new water pipeline between Bury and Merseyside. The proposed route for the pipeline passes through (well, underneath) Walkden and I have a meeting next Tuesday (16th September) with representatives from UU to discuss any potential impact that it may have on local residents in the construction phase.

If anyone has any comments, questions or issues they’d like me to raise as a local Councillor about the proposals, please leave a comment on this post or get in touch.

Birch Road Estate Walkabout - Wednesday

Published on September 8, 2008 in Walkden. 0 Comments

There will be a “multi-agency walkabout” on the Birch Road estate this coming Wednesday (10th September), starting at Chestnut Avenue at 2pm. This is a chance for local residents to pass on problems to New Prospect Housing officers and representatives from the Council and Police. If you live in the area and would like to point out any problems, keep an eye out for the walkabout on Wednesday afternoon.

Unfortunately I have a meeting of Children’s Services Scrutiny Committee on Wednesday so I won’t be able to attend - sadly my abilities do not extend to being in two places at once - but one of my ward colleagues Cllrs Les and Nicky Turner should be there.
