  • Greater Manchester Transport Strategy 2040 Executive Summary
    GREATER MANCHESTER TRANSPORT STRATEGY 2040 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A sustainable urban mobility plan for the future February 2017 2 GREATER MANCHESTER TRANSPORT STRATEGY 2040 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Contents 1 Introduction 4 2 Our vision 5 3 Critical transport challenges 6 4 Keeping it customer-focussed 10 5 From local neighbourhoods to global markets 13 6 Making it happen 22 3 1 Introduction 1. Greater Manchester is changing. Not only is it growing, both in terms of population and economy, it is also on a path towards significant devolution of powers and funding from central Government, supported by a directly- elected mayor. It is in this context of change that we are developing our 2040 Transport Strategy. 2. The aim is to establish a fully integrated, high capacity transport system for Greater Manchester, with travelling customers at its heart. 3. Transport is crucial in supporting Greater Manchester’s ambitious plans – growth will need and be driven by new connectivity. This is true on both a local and pan-northern level; Greater Manchester has a fundamental role to play at the heart of a successful Northern Powerhouse. 4. Why 2040? The opportunities offered by devolution and greater local determination allow us to take a much bolder and longer-term view of our transport needs. We want to take this opportunity to ensure that we can sustain the success of Greater Manchester for generations to come. 5. Our 2040 Vision for Transport, which we consulted on in 2015, set the scene for the start of a radical, and ambitious, new approach to planning our transport system in support of long-term needs and aspirations.

  • Scottish Disability Sport - the First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword
    Scottish Disability Sport - The First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword I was delighted to be asked by Chief Executive Gavin Macleod to record the first fifty years of Scottish Disability Sport, to mark the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Association. Initially the project was intended to be small but the more I researched, the more it brought back memories of great athletes, superb volunteers and great times. I became determined to try and do justice to as many as those great people as possible. I am certain I shall have forgotten key people in the eyes of others and if so I apologise profusely. For almost four decades SDS has been for me a way of life. The volunteers I have had the pleasure of working with for almost three decades are those I remember with great fondness, particularly during the early years. I applaud the many athletes who contributed to the rich history and success of SDS over fifty years. Outstanding volunteers like Bob Mitchell, Mary Urquhart, David Thomson, Jean Stone, Chris Cohen and Colin Rains helped to develop and sustain my passion for disability sport. I have been privileged to work with exceptional professionals like Ken Hutchison, Derek Casey, Liz Dendy, Paul Bush, Bob Price, Louise Martin, Sheila Dobie, Fiona Reid, Eddie McConnell, Gavin MacLeod, Mary Alison, Heather Lowden, Lawrie Randak, Tracey McCillen, Archie Cameron and many others whose commitment to inclusive sport has been obvious and long lasting. I thank Jean Stone, Jacqueline Lynn, Heather Lowden, Maureen Brickley and Paul Noble who acted as “readers” during the writing of the history and Norma Buchanan for administrative support at important stages.
