  • Hyde Road Results 19 Sept
    MCC Response Hyde Road should have a dedicated cycle path, to use in both directions that is separate from traffic. The scheme is approximately 300m long and provides spatial provision should a cycleway be promoted for the corridor in the C 14 future. An application for cycle funding was made and rejected. Stairs for cyclists? I thought cycling what part of the strategy for reducing CO2 emissions in Manchester? This is only a deterrent. The steps are an additional provision made for pedestrians. However a wheeling ramp will also be provided for cyclists. Currently there is no provision to connect to the Fallowfield Loop at this location and therefore there is an overall benefit to the non motorised users. It is unfortunate but a ramp is not feasible due to land constraints, costs and serviceability. The other access points to the Fallowfield Loop will remain such as off Wall Way, which provide Disability Discrimination Act C 15 compliant access. This stretch of road needs safe, segregated cycling provision as part of this work. The location is immediately adjacent to the Fallowfield Loop The scheme is approximately 300m long and provides spatial provision should a cycleway be promoted for the corridor in the line, which brings cyclists to the area, which makes the need for safe, segregated cycling provision even more important. Please could you future. An application for cycle funding was made and rejected. seek the views of Cycling Commissioner Chris Boardman on this (and the views of his planning experts). Better to sort this out properly at the C 16 planning stage, rather than incur additional expense putting it right later.

  • Beitar and Beyond: the United Arab Emirates and Qatar’S Use of Football As Soft Power
    POLICY OUTLOOK POLICY OUTLOOK DISCUSSION PAPER Beitar and Beyond: The United Arab Emirates and Qatar’s use of Football as Soft Power Anna Murphy (Howard Walker - Anadolu Agency) In 2008, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of Abu Dhabi’s ruling family, formed the City Football Group as a branch of the private investment and development company known as the Abu Dhabi United Group to facilitate the purchase of English football team Manchester City F.C.. In 2012, Qatar Sports Investments, a subsidiary of the Qatar sovereign wealth fund, purchased the French team Paris Saint-Germain. In the decade since these acquisitions, Manchester City and PSG have become fascinating and lucrative examples of soft power for the two Gulf states. In September of 2020, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, a lesser-known member of Abu Dhabi’s ruling family, purchased a 50 per cent stake in Beitar Jerusalem F.C, an Israeli football team. This investment has shed light on the shifting economic relations between Israel and the UAE and highlighted the unique influence of football in Israeli politics. This policy outlook examines the UAE and Qatar’s investment in football clubs in Europe and Israel as two distinct and developing modes of soft power. The opinions expressed in this policy outlook represent the views of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the TRT World Research Centre. POLICY OUTLOOK been granted greater recent attention concerning both the Background UAE’s involvement in the war in Yemen and Qatar’s treat- The team that currently sits atop the English Premier ment of workers involved in the preparation for the 2022 League, Manchester City, has been lauded as one of the World Cup.
