We started out in 2015 and encouraged local people to ride their bikes, we had a series of rides together. It's now time to build on that.
No response or update from @WiganCouncil with regards to the Line upgrade .. Remember all this as part of our Deal? Started in March 2016 with a proposed finish of summer that year - wigan.gov.uk/Resident/Parkin… - it's still going on .... great Deal eh?
After tweeting about how good our roads were earlier this year (they never were) I'd love to hear what @WiganCouncil think about them now. Massive dangerous pot holes all over the Borough.
We've asked @WiganCouncil umpteen times for an update on the Line refurbishment promised to Standish ages ago. No reply and no more news. As usual, this is #TheRealDeal for our village. So disappointed.
The recent rain has washed away so many of the temporary patch ups .... the roads are bloody dangerous if you are on a bike. @WiganCouncil please fix for the long term.
It would be polite at the very least @WiganCouncil to answer on this important matter. Are we any nearer to the line upgrade as promised? @StandishVoice
Hey there @WiganCouncil .... you were hoping to appoint a contractor before year end - can you update us please @StandishVoice

More thoughts for your Saddle Junction project @WiganCouncil xitter.cf/Chris_Boardman/status/…
This is what a cycle lane across a junction should look like 👇 xitter.cf/sustrans/status/925337…
We hope that includes investment in better cycling facilities, safer protected bike lanes and secure storage hubs. Watch those kids go then! xitter.cf/WiganCouncil/status/92…
With regards to the immediate work at Saddle junction ... please bear this in mind. @WiganCouncil xitter.cf/rep_of_design/status/9…

Many people cycle because they don't have time for #GMCongestion.

It is so, so, simple yet somehow, so hard to action.

Promoting safe cycling in #Standish would help cut congestion, lead to healthier people and connect our green spaces. Sound good ?

Safe #space4cycling on all major routes would fix #GMCongestion and so much more. Let @MayorofGM know - survey at: surveys.tfgm.com/snapwebhost…

If you make cycling a 'normal' activity, more 'normal' people will cycle. Motor-dominated roads hurt our city and its people. #GMCongestion xitter.cf/coshgirl/status/923502…
Has this been factored into the new estates in #Standish ? It forms part of @WiganCouncil Cycling Strategy so it should have been. xitter.cf/GBCycleEmbassy/status/…

There are five times as many bikes as cars in Copenhagen. Think about that in terms of safety, health, air quality, inclusion. #WinWinWinWin
This is the Cycling Strategy from @WiganCouncil - be great to have it implemented as we go forward @MayorofGM @GMcycling @StandishVoice
