  • 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.

  • From Coal Mining to Gold Medals
    From coal mining to gold medals The area around Philips Park has a rich industrial heritage. Former industries include coal mining, cotton mills, engineering works, coking works, power production and chemicals. Famous local industries include Bradford Colliery: coal had been mined in the area since Tudor times, and Bradford coal was used to power the very first cotton mills in Manchester. Deep mine shafts were sunk in the nineteenth century, and in the early twentieth century there was a conveyor belt that took coal to the nearby power station. Bradford Colliery finally closed in 1968. Johnson and Nephew's wire works was similarly famous, supplying wire for the first transatlantic cables and many other products exported all over the world. By the 1980s, most of these traditional industries had closed and the surrounding area was largely derelict with many social problems. East Manchester has been massively transformed and work is continuing by the work of New East Manchester and the development of SportCity. In 2002, East Manchester was the focus of the XVII Commonwealth Games, which brought a wealth of new development to the area, including: • The City of Manchester Stadium • The National Cycling Centre (Manchester Velodrome) • The English Institute of Sport • National Squash Centre • Regional Athletics Arena • Indoor Tennis Centre • For information about SportCity, please visit the SportCity Visitor Centre or check out the website at www.sportcity-manchester.com Medlock Valley Information - Industry Page 1 of 1 .
