Opposition Conservatives on Salford City Council have called for local residents across the City to be given the final say on plans to introduce a “toll tax” congestion charge across Greater Manchester.
Conservative Councillors Ian MacDonald and Iain Lindley have tabled a motion to be debated at next Wednesday’s Council Meeting calling for a local referendum to be held before the Council agrees to any introduction of congestion charging in Salford.
Councillor Iain Lindley, who represents Walkden South Ward and will second the motion, said:
“As a public transport user myself, I know that the TIF bid will have a negligible impact on bus and rail services in Salford and yet hard-working local residents across the City will still have to fork out to pay the congestion charge. In Salford the plans are all stick and no carrot - Conservatives will trust local people across the City to have the final say”
