Eccles Message Board: Knowhere Guide

sly are actually DELIBERATELY CAUSED by the "Vote Yes" campaign. Then if they get the charge through, they can return the traffic signals to normal and claim "Hey presto, the congestion charge is a success!" This is dishonest, so how honest do you think they are about the charges? Remember, they said the charge would not be brought in in Greater Manchester had a better public transport system. Now they are saying public transport improvements will NOT happen until the charge is brought in.

If you don't want to be taxed yet again (whether or not you drive), I urge you to vote No.
I am not behind the Vote No campaign, but I am merely an ordinary member of the public and I have seen too many lies with the Vote Yes campaign, so I am exposing those lies as just that. Please vote no.
You should have or will shortly receive your voting slip on the Greater Manchester congestion charge. Before you vote Yes, let's learn the FACTS that the Vote Yes campaigners DON'T want you to know!

We are already taxed to the brink in Britain. This is yet another tax. Even if you don't drive, you will still HAVE TO PAY: because shops and businesses will be forced to put their prices up to cover the cost.
Zones, Times and Charges - up to £100 to drive to work every month
The Greater Manchester congestion charging zone takes in the entire inner M60 area. It will have two rings, you pay when you cross each one. Please visit: http://www.gmfuturetransport.co.uk/consultation/rings/ to see the rings.
Peak time charges
7AM-9.30AM
Crossing the outer ring inbound £2
Crossing the inner ring inbound £1
4PM - 6.30PM
Crossing the inner ring outbound £1
Crossing the outer ring outbound £1
That’s up to £100 every month or up to £1,200 a year if your commute takes you through both rings. For most of us, changing our working hours simply isn’t possible, so we will have to find an additional £1,200 just to drive to work.
With the average take home wage in Greater Manchester of around £1,200 a month, that’s a month's pay. That just can’t be fair or sensible when traffic h

Exposed: The Greater Manchester Congestion Charge SCAM! In order to support claims that the congestion charge is needed, traffic light signals have been altered to cause maximum delays, such as traffic jams (just take a look in your local area to see the proof before your eyes!). The signals are changing more frequently than ever before. Many areas that now have traffic jams that didn't previou sly are actually DELIBERATELY CAUSED by the "Vote Yes" campaign.

The Green family in Albert St	by Tony Green (Member 10176938) on 15-Feb-2006
Does anyone remember the Green family. We used to live at 29 Albert St. Eccles, (opposite Britains builders yard). Eccles was a great place when we were kids. They have really made a mess of things since then (say no more). Our houses are no longer there. We moved to Adelaide, South Australia in 1964. My name is Tony Green. I have 3 Brothers Geoff, Frank & Chris and 1 sister, Joan. My Dad & Mam were Jack & Nelly (now deceased). We attended St Marys RC School. ... more >> Reply
