Local residents in Walkden and across the City of Salford are set to pay around £1200 a year if Labour plans for a Congestion Charge around Manchester are given the go-ahead.People will be asked to vote on whether they want the new charge in a postal vote. Walkden suffers badly under the proposals - residents will have to pay the charge but plans show that the local area will miss out on any significant transport improvements. Analysis by local Conservative Councillor Iain Lindley showed that Walkden would actually be served by fewer buses if the new arrangements are approved.
At around £1200 a year, the new charge will be a further blow to local residents already struggling with higher fuel, food and road tax.
You will shortly be receiving your ballot paper for the referendum by post, or you may have it already. The final deadline is December 11th - post your vote early!
