Both Oxford Road and Manchester city centre schemes are now being further developed in line with the suggestions and comments received during the formal consultation process.
Yours sincerely,

The consultation report is available on-line, please have a look.
The main message is that by far the biggest number of responses were about cycling, so a big thanks to everyone who responded.
The recent fatalities in London, underline the need to get this scheme right, and not just bodge something up because it is cheap.
