@TroubleSale Hi Leo. The Council withdrew support before the second phase of consultation, when the plans were due to be shared. We truly believe these plans, that we’ve been working on with the community and clubs, would have attracted support throughout Sale and the wider borough.

[Crossford Bridge Community Sports Village @crossfordbridge]

Thank you to the thousands of people who took part in our first phase consultation – the local residents, sports club members, fans and local businesses. We are especially grateful to the local clubs and community members who have collaborated with us on these plans. 1/5

Ability to take part in physical activity varies hugely in communities – it’s important to make sure people of all ages can take part in activity locally that works for them🕺

By improving cycle infrastructure, not only will cycling be safer, but the roads will be more free for those who need them most! If we #ChooseCycling in Greater Manchester, we can create healthier, and safer, communities. 🚲

More space for cycling means more space for everyone 👍
