With the football season in full swing and events taking place at the two Old Trafford stadia, the Labour council administration continues to inflict traffic misery on Stretford.
Conservatives are calling on labour to fix this congestion. With some residential roads blocked off by planters and the main roads having reduced lanes, Stretford comes to a standstill when major events take place.
Conservatives agree that there is a need for safe cycle lanes through Stretford but Labour has wasted time and £280,000 placing hundreds of cones on the A56. The Labour administration should have listened to the needs of cyclists and motorists to ensure any new schemes complemented and improved the safety of all modes of transport.
The Labour council administration is clearly under pressure as residents are to be given the opportunity to voice their opinions on the cycle lanes through a consultation commencing in early November.
