Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

Misinformation is everywhere. Listening to Hannah Spencer you realise how cynical & targeted it is. Confirmation bias of all who oppose her leads to most believing fake news without even an attempt of double-checking the 'info' they read. All it takes is a screenshot of her shirt & a reverse search.

Walk Ride Salford @walkridesalford.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

We have today submitted our formal support for the Peel Green Active Travel Scheme. We are encouraging all our followers to submit their own support (see following post), as drivers are objecting to this scheme based on it adding a mere 70 seconds to their morning drive.

walk ride GM
This submission is on behalf of Walk Ride GM, the campaign for active travel in Greater Manchester.
Walk Ride GM strongly support this traffic order to enable delivery of the Peel Green Active
Travel scheme.
Importance to network
This scheme is a strategically important part of the emerging active travel network, as it is the only highway route connecting communities in the Cadishead and Lower Irlam, Higher Irlam and Peel Green neighbourhood area with the rest of Salford, providing a continuation of the existing A57 shared use route which runs as far as the community stadium.
The proposed scheme provides those wanting to walk/cycle to major trip generators in the area with a safe way to do this, including:
- Visitors to Salford Community Stadium and Barton airport
- Current and future employees at Port Salford's employers, which are planned to expand significantly in coming years as one of GM's designated growth locations
-Children walking/cycling to Barton Moss primary school and Salford City Academy
(~15 min cycle from Higher Irlam)
- Any future Metrolink stop(s) at Port Salford / community stadium
38.4% of households in Peel Green have no cars or vans (2021 Census - Peel Green
MSOA), so providing safe alternatives to driving is essential.
Current safety issues
The scheme will resolve a number of safety issues issues for those currently walking/cycling along this section of highway, with a number of the below issues classed as 'critical' by Active Travel England and in the GM Streets for all design check:
- speed and volume of traffic cyclists are expected to mix with, including proportion of that made up of large vehicles
- areas of inconsistent lane widths throughout the section which don't dissuade close passes
- Narrow sections of shared use path along northern side with lack of marked priority across side roads
- Lack of tactile paving at side roads
Cyclists heading west have to rejoin carriageway immediately after M60 roundabout exit on left han…

Unsuitable alternatives
At a recent community meeting and on social media, objectors to this scheme have suggested alternative off-road routes via a recently improved path alongside Peel Green cemetery and Eccles definitive footpath 28.
While this would provide a useful additional leisure route for some, it should be considered a complimentary route rather than an alternative to delivering the scheme along Liverpool Rd.
Aside from the fact only the new section of path is actually passable on a cycle, routing those walking and cycling through an unlit isolated area with a lack of passive surveillance will render this route unusable for many, particularly women, especially at night, and would undermine the scheme's objectives of enabling modal shift for everyday trips:
- In 2024, only 44% of women (vs 67% of men) were satisfied with their personal safety at night while walking. (draft 2050 GM Transport Strategy, 2025)
- In 2024, only 48% of GM residents were satisfied with their personal security while cycling at night (GMA active travel annual report, 2024)
- "Targets for increased numbers of sustainable journeys on our public transport network and through active travel are non-achievable if the fundamental issue of feeling safe is not addressed." (In Her Shoes, GMCA 2025)
Validity of petition
We are also aware that a change.org petition is being circulated as part of objections to this scheme. We would like to highlight that there is no validation that the signatures on this petition are from those within Salford or even Greater Manchester. The petition was circulated on a number of anti-cycling social media accounts and it is clear that it will include signatures from those who have no connection to the local area, with some even openly declaring they live as far afield as Scotland.

Pleased to see a great deal of siding in of soil has been removed from a good length of the A556 footway north of Flittogate Lane. Unfortunately not all the way up to Tabley Road, but it's a good start. This should be a shared footway - how does one go about asking CEC for some blue signs?

reasonably wide footway alongside a 4 lane single carriageway road. Two vehicles are visible in the distance. Speed camera markings are on the carriageway. The footway is bordered by a thick hedge and trees.
