Due to a burst water main in Sale Trafford, the Bridgewater Canal towpath will be closed at Sale Waterside, until United Utilities are able to complete the repair and re-instate the towpath. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. BWC 💙

Hi @OneTrafford @LongfordSarah1 @GMPstretford @StretfordJane Unfortunately there has been another major de-coning event on the A56. Cycleway cones missing on large sections of southbound carriageway, and probably other places too. Please could they be replaced?

The PM wasn't wrong when he said most people are dependent on their cars. But targeting cycle-friendly schemes will only entrench this further. We won't stand by and let government destroy hopes of a healthier future. Donate to support our campaign work: ow.ly/jzRF50Pv04g

What a difference good quality walking and cycling infrastructure makes. 😍 Before and after - same time of day, same day of the week, both in term time.

At long last - is this the beginning of the end of the cones on the A56 through Stretford? Thanks to @domcycling for sharing the details in this 🧵

A56 cones back, and within less than 24 hours, 3 seem to have lost their lives protecting 🚴‍♀️ from motorists who don’t seem able to drive in a straight line, avoiding highly visible cones. This is why cyclists need segregation - safety.

Replying to @A56Safety @annawaltzerpose @TraffordCouncil @StretfordJane @TomWRoss
Hello there. Just so you’re aware, the A56 cones have not been removed by the council, these were part of a systematic theft of the cones overnight. This has been reported to the police and we’ll be working with the police going forward on this matter.

As if on queue, @TraffordCouncil celebrate the 3rd Anniversary of the A56 Sale to M/cr “Love the Lanes” ride by removing ALL remaining cones thru Stretford. 🍾 What a nice surprise. @HannanRuth @roadcc

A56 at 8.35 - Main route into M/cr and NO traffic. It’s amazing what happens when schools are closed & the school run disappears. Just think, if it was safe for children to cycle to school like their Dutch counterparts, this could be normal. @DameSarahStorey @TomWRoss

Is anyone in #Trafford assured by this comment about safe cycling on the A56? Or are we admitting that the vandals are winning?

UPDATE: Council insists traffic team regularly check the lanes to replace any missing cones, proposes "to replace the cones on this section of the highway with an interim cycling scheme" road.cc/302293
