🚨 LAST CHANCE: Today is the final day to demand a better transport plan for Greater Manchester! An 8% traffic reduction isn't enough to reach Net Zero by 2038 or make our streets safe for everyone. 🚲🚌 abetterplanforgm.co.uk

The 'office suggestion' meme. A cartoon showing a boss and 3 employees. The boss says 'Potholes are getting worse. We need ideas!' The three staff reply: 'More money!' 'Technology!' 'Reduce traffic?'
