Comments for GO! Greater Manchester http://www.gogreatermanchester.org.uk A coalition of local residents campaigning for a 'YES' vote in December's referendum on public transport Sun, 05 Sep 2010 17:12:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 Comment on ‘YES’ to £3 billion for public transport in Greater Manchester - GO for it! by Artie fufkin http://www.gogreatermanchester.org.uk/2008/10/01/yes-to-3-billion-for-public-transport-in-greater-manchester-go-for-it#comment-5 Artie fufkin Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:05:01 +0000 http://www.gogreatermanchester.org.uk/?p=4#comment-5 I few thoughts: The proposals will cause an unemployment problem and a downturn in the economy. Do we really want to import such problems. Car use in the city has fallen nearly 10% in 10 years, do we need to the stick of a congestion charge? So much of the budget seems to be going on non-improvement of tranport. So many easy and cheaper wins have been ignored. The figures do not add up, what happens to the shortfall in revenues that official stats predict. A hike in counil tax. It's fun to have a cause but yongster playing at politics is fun. Remember , you chaps, if you stay in Manchesterwill pick up hte bill. I few thoughts:
