The CAP are not fooling anyone in Irlam & Cadishead!

The Community Action Party in its leaflets tries to scare people over many things without having any constructive proposals of its own.

Listen to your Local Labour Party for the truth.

Lets take the proposed Port Salford as an example.

Here are the facts:

The application made by Peel Holdings for a transfer facility on the Ship Canal between Peel Green and Boysnope has been “Stayed” by the Highways Agency.

This order is effective until mid November 2007 unless otherwise determined by the Agency which means nothing will happen until then and, as with all Planning Applications, it will be determined under Planning Law. The proposal is for containers to be brought up the Canal from the Mersey Basin area and then transferred to rail and road transport at the facility. Generally transport by canal is much more environmentally friendly than by other means– there is a considerable reduction in carbon emissions. Additionally about 1250 direct jobs would be created and up to 3500 indirectly.

However there are other environmental concerns: traffic management, noise, lorry movements and possibly dust during the construction phase.

Local Labour Councillors have insisted from the start that there must be effective traffic management with a view to considerably improving the present situation and that there should be the highest possible environmental standards in operation.

Clearly there is a judgement to be made here weighing both the advantages and possible disadvantages. However in the absence of full information it is not possible to reach that position yet.

The present position is that Peel Holdings proposals for traffic management have been rejected both by the City Council and the Highways Agency.

Your local representatives feel it is better to proceed on the basis of actual evidence and full information rather than misinformed conjecture. When full information is available and prior to any decision being taken there will be the fullest local consultation and discussion

Help us fight the CAP in Irlam & Cadishead!

We have another great year as Salford children go from strength to strenth.

Labour councillor and lead member John Warmisham has released the following comments:

“We’re once again astounded by the performance across the city, and are delighted with our continued record for incredible improvement in the average of five or more A*-C grades.

These results are owed to a remarkable combined effort between pupils, teachers, governors and the local education authority, who are all striving to achieve great things. Our pupils should be extremely proud of this performance as it’s vital that they have the best possible start in life that we can give them.”

I have to say we all agree!

Well done to all!
