ALL CLEAR - The towpath is now open again. Thanks to all who worked on this.

The @BridgewaterWay canal towpath in #SaleTown remains closed under the bridge near Sale Metrolink Station and Sale Town Hall due to water repairs by @unitedutilities - nearly two weeks :(

[Bridgewater Canal @BridgewaterWay]

Due to a burst water main in Sale Trafford, the Bridgewater Canal towpath will be closed at Sale Waterside, until United Utilities are able to complete the repair and re-instate the towpath.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Hi @OneTrafford @LongfordSarah1 @GMPstretford @StretfordJane
Unfortunately there has been another major de-coning event on the A56. Cycleway cones missing on large sections of southbound carriageway, and probably other places too.
Please could they be replaced?

[Cycling UK @WeAreCyclingUK]

The PM wasn't wrong when he said most people are dependent on their cars. But targeting cycle-friendly schemes will only entrench this further.

We won't stand by and let government destroy hopes of a healthier future.

At long last - is this the beginning of the end of the cones on the A56 through Stretford?

Thanks to @domcycling for sharing the details in this 🧵

[A56 Safety Campaign @A56Safety]

A56 cones back, and within less than 24 hours, 3 seem to have lost their lives protecting 🚴‍♀️ from motorists who don’t seem able to drive in a straight line, avoiding highly visible cones. This is why cyclists need segregation - safety.

[One Trafford @OneTrafford]

@A56Safety @echamings @annawaltzerpose @TraffordCouncil @StretfordJane @TomWRoss Hello there. Just so you’re aware, the A56 cones have not been removed by the council, these were part of a systematic theft of the cones overnight. This has been reported to the police and we’ll be working with the police going forward on this matter.

[A56 Safety Campaign @A56Safety]

As if on queue, @TraffordCouncil celebrate the 3rd Anniversary of the A56 Sale to M/cr “Love the Lanes” ride by removing ALL remaining cones thru Stretford. 🍾 What a nice surprise. @HannanRuth @roadcc

[A56 Safety Campaign @A56Safety]

A56 at 8.35 - Main route into M/cr and NO traffic. It’s amazing what happens when schools are closed & the school run disappears. Just think, if it was safe for children to cycle to school like their Dutch counterparts, this could be normal. @DameSarahStorey @TomWRoss

[WalkRideAlty @WalkRideAlty]

Is anyone in #Trafford assured by this comment about safe cycling on the A56?

Or are we admitting that the vandals are winning?

[road.cc @roadcc]

UPDATE: Council insists traffic team regularly check the lanes to replace any missing cones, proposes "to replace the cones on this section of the highway with an interim cycling scheme"
