StandishCommunity CC

We are based in the village of Standish in Wigan. We are members of Cycling UK and here to promote social cycling, community & healthy living.

[StandishCommunity CC @StandishCCC]

We started out in 2015 and encouraged local people to ride their bikes, we had a series of rides together. It's now time to build on that.

@WiganCouncil No response or update from @WiganCouncil with regards to the Line upgrade .. Remember all this as part of our Deal? Started in March 2016 with a proposed finish of summer that year - https://t.co/XPaovVNAjW - it's still going on .... great Deal eh?

[StandishCommunity CC @StandishCCC]

After tweeting about how good our roads were earlier this year (they never were) I'd love to hear what @WiganCouncil think about them now. Massive dangerous pot holes all over the Borough.

[StandishCommunity CC @StandishCCC]

We've asked @WiganCouncil umpteen times for an update on the Line refurbishment promised to Standish ages ago. No reply and no more news. As usual, this is #TheRealDeal for our village. So disappointed.

[StandishCommunity CC @StandishCCC]

The recent rain has washed away so many of the temporary patch ups .... the roads are bloody dangerous if you are on a bike. @WiganCouncil please fix for the long term.

[StandishCommunity CC @StandishCCC]

It would be polite at the very least @WiganCouncil to answer on this important matter. Are we any nearer to the line upgrade as promised? @StandishVoice

[StandishCommunity CC @StandishCCC]

Merry Christmas to you all and hopefully Santa brought you another bike 🎅🎄🚴

[StandishCommunity CC @StandishCCC]

Hey there @WiganCouncil .... you were hoping to appoint a contractor before year end - can you update us please @StandishVoice

More thoughts for your Saddle Junction project @WiganCouncil https://t.co/rxPGEu7rgZ

This is what a cycle lane across a junction should look like 👇 https://t.co/8SzATa4Wsm

[StandishCommunity CC @StandishCCC]

We hope that includes investment in better cycling facilities, safer protected bike lanes and secure storage hubs. Watch those kids go then! https://t.co/1s65T2WElU

@WiganCouncil @MayorofGM It will take a massive change in culture over several generations, but if you are really committed to this, the action needs to start NOW

[StandishCommunity CC @StandishCCC]

@WiganCouncil @MayorofGM Very little mention of cycling, but there was this little snip - but if you are to achieve this you HAVE to invest in quality infrastructure

[StandishCommunity CC @StandishCCC]

With regards to the immediate work at Saddle junction ... please bear this in mind. @WiganCouncil https://t.co/I0fZYsBuIz

Many people cycle because they don't have time for #GMCongestion.

[Chris Boardman CBE @Chris_Boardman]

It is so, so, simple yet somehow, so hard to action.

@lancashirepaddy We wrote to all three councillors and our MP to ask them to support cycling campaigns and strategies. Nothing much else to share.

[StandishCommunity CC @StandishCCC]

Promoting safe cycling in #Standish would help cut congestion, lead to healthier people and connect our green spaces. Sound good ?

[StandishCommunity CC @StandishCCC]

@Nicola_238 @WiganCouncil We have no more information other than that on the website about The Line. Wherever possible it should be of similar standard I would hope.

[GM Cycling Campaign 🐝🚲 @GMcycling]

Safe #space4cycling on all major routes would fix #GMCongestion and so much more. Let @MayorofGM know - survey at: https://t.co/DFebCOGoRW
