Did you vote Chef?

[Pogle]

tulip, I forgot to vote!

[DimPrawn]

Wow, the general public have voted AGAINST paying again to use their car on the road, after paying road tax and fuel duty.

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!

[chef]

yes, i voted Yes as i never travel into the city during peak hours as i never work in the city and the charge was only for weekdays and the public transport network improvements that would have come from funds being raised from the charge meant i'd have a tram stop less than 5mins from my home direct to the airport..


ahh well

I voted yes too.... even though I live in the city centre, I won't forever and I doubt I would drive into town anyway as it's costs a small fortune to park. Any improvement in public transport has to be a good thing, hasn't it....?

So the Mancs are happy to sit in gridlock with no improved public tranpsort alernative. Does this mean that they will not be able to moan about the traffic then?

[Purple Dalek]

What with all the aid from the Germans and Irish in redesigning the city centre they would have sorted out congestion by now.

The advertising for the yes campaign has been disgusting. Stagecoach would not allow Stockport to run No campaign adverts on their buses.
