M66

The Budget and financial costs are the issues currently being targeted by protesters against the M66 Greater Manchester ring road extension. The campaigners are targeting MP's - writing letters to press that part one of the scheme, rumoured to be dropped until the next financial year, will be scrapped. The extension is planned to cost £76m. Protesters are warning that it will cost much more - they will see to it that it does! Regular actions are planned kicking off with a big 'un on Nov. 3rd. A show of strength is needed ensuring that work is stopped in the run up to the Budget. There was a picket at Ashton Magistrates Court on Oct. 26th in support of arrested protesters. Support forthcoming actions - show the government how it will cost more than £76m. 0161 627 4862, 0161 628 4727
