Apartments - sustainable

Are town centre apartments sustainable, they help if you work eat sleep and play in a central location , so I don't think that they have been an idea in Crewe , but i think that we have hit an over supply now. This is evidenced by several flats coming on to the market via the auction houses at bargain prices
My advice is don't get tempted yet as they will fall a lot more before they really are a bargain.

Sustainable?- I think so in a town like crewe, if you live here you can certainly walk to work, if you work in town.

New Bike

As part of my new green image - i bought a new bike and took the train to manchester with my bike

My observations,

1 £11 return journey - maybe a little expensive - should be £5?
2 No where to put the bike on the train, thus blocked the walk ways
3 only one other bike on the return journey

It is not rocket science, but a carriage should be available for all bikes to store them, cheaper fares (but we know that anyway!) and if we did this prior to the congestion charge in manchester it may make the transition easier

Congestion Charge in Manchester - now a reality

I can not hardly contain my excitment about the thought of the "congestion charge" in Manchester, sadly it is not coming in for a few years

It will mean less traffic in manchester and the roads leading into Manchester, also promisd capital sums of £1.6 billion to invest in the public transport, which is badly needed and hopefully evybody will start getting use to the idea years in adance

What will it mean to Crewe?

Hopefully any large companies wishing to locate in mManchester may just consider towns such as crewe to build teh new HQ's . So Crewe needs to be ready to court any firms that now have second thoughts on Manchester.

Green Party - C&N Elections

Well, I never thought that I would ever vote Greens, but i think that the time and day has finally arrived.

My biggest fear, and thought, is transport, and for that reason mainly that is why I will be voting Green, they wont get in , but I value my vote and it helps me know that it is the "Right Vote".

It is a shame that some of the mainstream parties cant adopt some greener transport policies.

The first thing I would do is assit public transport- I drive everywhere and dont want to- I really want to catch teh train on some longer journeys and I have dusted down my bike!
