A Liberal Democrat amendment at last nights Council meeting finally exposed Bury Labour’s position on Congestion Charging when they failed to oppose the proposed Congestion Charging scheme.
A Liberal Democrat amendment called for the bid to the Governments Transport Innovation Fund to be supported but made it clear that Bury was opposed to the proposed Congestion Charging scheme, and called for a consultative referendum on the issue.
My colleague Cllr Richard Baum told the Council, “We need to send a message to the government that we will not stand for their bullying. That we have been elected to stand up for what people want – a quality public transport system paid for through the taxes we have already paid, sustained through more users and leading to improvements all round.
