The signs are up, and Salford’s second camera enforced school street is ready to go for the new term on Monday! 🚶‍♀️ 🛴 🚲

We see a lot of claims that the Liverpool St cycle scheme ‘causes congestion’, despite this road already being only one lane each way before this scheme was introduced. The real reason for morning congestion here is the same as it is everywhere else - other drivers

In more positive news this week, work to make the Islington Active Neighbourhood permanent is set to commence this summer and complete by end of October 🚶 🛴 🚲

For the 2nd time this week Salford council have indefinitely postponed a scheme to make cycling safer at the expense of cutting a few seconds off motor journeys. This time it’s the cyclops junction at Trinity Way / Chapel St, meaning the status quo of danger will continue

Today is the final day to have your say on the draft Greater Manchester transport strategy and delivery plan. This will shape transport across Salford for the next 25 years, so be sure to have your say and support schemes which improve walking, wheeling and cycling 👇

Some excellent plans here from Manchester City Council. If you travel by foot, bike or bus to the east of Manchester (or would like to but find it currently too dangerous to walk or cycle), make sure you respond positively to this consultation 👇 news.tfgm.com/press-releas...

Great news for Salford City Centre! The Peel Green scheme has been paused, with the potential for the funds to be redirected to schemes in Salford City Centre. Great to see 'left behind' areas of Salford having their funding moved to more affluent areas www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good news that work will start this week to install an anti-slip service to Prince’s bridge which crosses the Irwell outside Factory International. The work will take until May to complete but one side of the bridge will remain open at all times

Some people complain every time some cycle lanes are built in the UK because "The weather is miserable, no one wants to cycle here!": in two years now of cycling to work, I have caught the rain very few times, and if dressed appropriately bad weather is not an issue. The issue is lack of safe infra.

New visualisations for the Salford Crescent > Media City scheme

Current consultations recap 🗣️ - Peel Green - email [email protected] by 2nd Feb quoting ref JUH/SCC006/01356 - Ordsall Neighbourhood - closes 1st Feb - shaping.salford.gov.uk/en-GB/folder... - Crescent > Mediacity - closes 22nd Feb - beenetwork.com/scmc

There are now just 2 weeks remaining to show your support for this excellent scheme, which is currently on the receiving end of an organised campaign to stop it going ahead. If you want a safe route between Irlam and the rest of Salford, please express your support

This busy bridge in Monton which links the canal path to the Roe Green loopline is set to get a wider pavement here in next couple of months as part of plans to install new vehicle containment kerbs to protect the bridge

Some excellent improvements for walking and cycling in here, including: - 4 new cyclops junctions - new and upgraded cycle tracks on Liverpool St and South Langworthy Rd - new pedestrian crossings - upgraded accessible bus stops

We have today submitted our formal support for the Peel Green Active Travel Scheme. We are encouraging all our followers to submit their own support (see following post), as drivers are objecting to this scheme based on it adding a mere 70 seconds to their morning drive.

New consultation launched for walking and cycling improvements in the Ordsall Neighbourhood

38% of Peel Green households have no access to a car or van. They must be given safe alternatives. Please email your support for this scheme before the deadline of 22nd December.

This new tool from Dept for Transport shows how well located anywhere is for popular destination types such as work, education and shopping by different modes of transport. Shows just how viable cycling is for local journeys in many parts of Salford if they all had the infrastructure to enable it.

📣 Peel Green scheme needs your support 📣 The next stage of consultation for this scheme is happening now, and drivers are objecting to making this area safer for those walking and cycling, because traffic modelling shows it will add 70 seconds to their morning drive.

The next walking and cycling forum will take place online on Tuesday 16th December via Microsoft Teams, 18:30-20:00. Link to join below 👇

The 2025 Walk Ride GM Awards celebrated council, local volunteer and community efforts to progress active travel across Greater Manchester.

The consultation on #CWIS3 is open until 15 Dec - this is massively disappointing and potentially represents a huge backward step for #ActiveTravel. Make sure you respond to day this isn’t good enough - advice how to respond from @cyclinguk.bsky.social here

Chapel St East now open! 😍🚶‍♀️👨‍🦽‍➡️🛴🚲🚌🚛

Chapel Street is looking pretty good now and the correct colour! #Bikesky

The new draft 10-year transport delivery plan for Greater Manchester has now been published before it goes to public consultation. Let’s take a look at what it means for walking, wheeling and cycling in Salford 🧵

Full marks to Salford Council for removing leaves today from the Roe Green Loopline @walkridesalford.bsky.social

In recent years Salford has sadly seen several fatal collisions involving large vehicles and people walking or cycling. It would be good to see a London-style Direct Vision Standard adopted here as part of #VisionZero

Salford Chapel St new cycleways under construction. @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social

Great to see active travel baked into this regeneration

As a condition of this development, the junction of Middlewood St / Ordsall Ln / Hampson St is due to be simplified and converted to a cyclops, along with a new bus gate on Ordsall Lane.

There’s a lot to like in these proposals so please do have your say and support the proposals to improve walking, wheeling and cycling: ✅ a more people-friendly town centre ✅ improved connections to Monton and Salford Royal ✅ improved accessibility for Eccles station ecclestowncentre.co.uk

Last year I realised something that has changed my perspective on advocacy At @walkridegm.org.uk we noticed social media wasn’t having a meaningful impact on active travel delivery, so we shifted our focus to more constructive spaces

📯Huge Opportunity for Public Space Improvement Do you want to see a joined-up #BeeNetwork in #GreaterManchester? Then have your say on this impressive proposal for Seymour Grove. It's ambitious on paper, but local Councillors need confidence that there's public backing to approve it.
