Langworthy Lib Dem asks people who are thinking of voting Green to vote for them why? because he says they have had two traffic calming measures put in Langworthy both Ridiculed by Cllr John Warmisham. Steve i think you would have to supply a motorway into Manchester before any one would vote Liberal Democrat in Salford.Even then you would be hard pushed.

Good to the see the Labour Conference had a Fringe on how to beat the greens hope every one took note,because were going to be around for a long while yet…
Amused to see that a fringe at #lab11 is ‘how to beat the greens’. How about stand up for ordinary ppl? @thegreenparty
That’s the key stand up for the people something Labour forget after May..
Help Needed
We are in the process of setting up a Salford Young Greens and we need help from any one who is studying at Salford University.If you could help can you make contact on the site.
We are also looking at setting up a Salford Green LGBA same question if any one can help or advise could you contact me on the web.
All contact details will be kept confidential.
Have we the only Green Party in the country opposed to traffic calming and in favour of unfettered access for the car ? Just in off our Council leader.
Answer John the plan if it had been thought through,and perhaps if you would have sought comment from more than the few residents on Chapel street it would have worked well.Instead we have grid lock, frustration, and local business that at this time are suffering.We are facing the same issues we faced with the congestion charging.And to be honest i could use the same arguments i used when i sat with the Liberal Democrats. Of course your idea would get support from the Green party but there is always a but.We would have asked do you have relief roads planned and clearly marked to take any short term strain. What alternatives are we offering the public in regards to alternative transport, have we reduced the bus rates to entice people to change.Are the Buses that will take the main business fit for purpose IE ENVIRONMENTALY FRENDLY? will we be looking at changes in their fuel.What are the long term plans for the area, do we have a business plan? Job creation,further growth if the plan develops will there be no long term effects on the residents , will there be security in there tenancy and we would not be creating a Langworthy road where social cleansing as taken place. In realty only the rich can live there.John we will fight for and support Green Projects but not at any cost. PS john did you get the bus in to Manchester or Drive? You see we may be green but we do Believe that people have a choice.
Just thought i would post these comments from Twitter between My self and our Council Leader,as you my have read i have been arguing that the Chapel Street area is turning in to a Car Park and delaying traffic in to Manchester. I suggest you read the rest.

no you just do not go down Chapel St
I really think this is turning in to a fiasco, just out of interest i wonder what our air quality tests will reveal? we hope to get test on Chapel street and Liverpool road areas soon,i am trying to see if any one could help direct us to any research on Bronchial asthma within the area. If you could help or guide us please drop us a line. I wonder which route our leader uses in to Manchester??
I have just received a phone call from a parent over this Telegraph article and was asked for my view.To be honest if i see one more issue relating to this a will scream.These experts need to be put back into what ever hole they crawled out of and sealed in.
Dress witches in pink and avoid white paper to prevent racism in nuseries, expert says
Teachers should censor the toy box to replace witches’ black hats with a pink ones and dress fairies in darker shades, according to a consultant who has issued advice to local authorities.
From the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz to Meg, the good witch from the Meg and Mog children’s books, witches have always dressed in black.
But their traditional attire has now come in for criticism from equality experts who claim it could send a negative message to toddlers in nursery and lead to racism.
Instead, teachers should censor the toy box and replace the pointy black hat with a pink one, while dressing fairies, generally resplendent in pale pastels, in darker shades.
This rubbish breeds racism it does not cure it,so lets get it together and remember we are all the damn same no matter what colour our skin is.
This got me thinking
Up to 10 jobs are understood to be at risk at a flagship school – less than a year before it moves to a new £25m site near MediaCityUK.
Oasis Academy held a ‘topping out’ ceremony to celebrate the progress of the new school building in Ordsall on Tuesday.
But shocked staff at the specialist media college, currently based on Prestwood Road, have been warned redundancies could be necessary as part of a cost-cutting review.
A 30-day consultation period, including a call for voluntary redundancy applications, is due to end on October 6.
First thoughts of could not organise a Pi—up in a brewery came to mind,then i thought perhaps the staff could ne moved across to help in the schools where we have no classrooms or teachers to teach the ever growing number of kids in Salford who have no places?

BURGESS FARM CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST
“They seem to forget that they were democratically elected by the residents to represent the residents but unfortunately they are not very democratic, they are a disgrace!” Burgess Farm Residents Group
Salford Council has officially informed the Planning Inspectorate that it won’t defend Peel Holdings’ appeal against the refusal of planning permission to build 350 houses on the greenfield site of Burgess Farm in Walkden.
The strange Salford Council position will be looked into at a Planning Inspectorate Appeal Pre-inquiry Meeting on October 11th…
No surprise here then
A quarter of English universities failed to meet their targets to admit substantially more disadvantaged students last year, a government watchdog has revealed .
Cambridge, Bristol, Exeter, Durham and University College London are among 23 institutions that admit making insufficient progress in widening their mix of applicants in 2009-10 – leading to accusations that the intake of the most selective universities is “increasingly privileged”. David Willetts, the universities minister, said the report was proof that social mobility had stalled.
