Road Safety Improvements on the way…...

Whilst we have been talking to you in the St Mary's area of Hulme, one the issues that was raised is road safety. We are pleased to announce, that following representation from your Hulme Labour Councillors, arrangements have been made for new road markings at the junction of Rook St / Blanchard St, Peregrine St / Rook St and Boston St / Blanchard St. Double yellow lines have also been painted on one side of Southcombe Walk and road name signs have been erected. The whole area will be monitored by the Council’s Traffic Department and any improvements that are required will be undertaken.

An investigation is taking place into who is responsible for the replacement of a bollard at the end of Peregrine Street (near Moss Lane East), as soon as this is established the bollard will be replaced.

New Bus Stop for Shawgreen

Thanks to the Labour Team the Bus Stop on City Road has been moved from its temporary space outside Middleton’s to the corner of Shawgreen close and City Road.
Kevin Gallagher Labour Team member, Community Guardian and our local Postman, explains, “Several pensioners from the area contacted me to say not only was the bus stop too far away from both estates for them to walk, it was also too close to the building site entrance on the old Body Positive site. In fact so dangerous was it, that the post holding the bus stop sign was knocked over by a lorry leaving the site” Kevin got to work, contacted G.M.P.T.E and our Local Labour Team Councillors, and within weeks the problem was sorted.

Well done Kevin!

If you have a problem or a worry contact us and we will help you sort it out.

Lib Dems hit by new defection

THE Liberal Democrats in Manchester have been rocked by the loss of a second councillor in two months. Abid Chohan, who represents Longsight, is crossing the floor to join the Labour group.

Cllr Chohan said, "I have been thinking about this for two or three months."The Liberal Democrats are soft on drugs and crime and too busy fighting each other rather than thinking about the local area.
