I am writing in support the TIF bid.

I cannot understand why drivers are willing to continue to sit in congested traffic and polluted air, It is a situation that is bound to get worse unless we have a vastly improved public transport system The congestion charge will not hit the poorest people hardest — as the lowest paid are the ones who tend not to own cars.

A much improved transport system will benefit everyone including businesses.

Let’s look forward to a modern, clean efficient Greater Manchester.
