it dont really effect you if you go in the day...

charge is only weekdays going towards manchester 7-9:30,
and going away from manchester 4:30-6pm

so inbetween them hours, you don t pay...

I use this road 5 - 7 days per week. They do this and it's me out of a job.

There is no way i can afford to pay out even more money.

that makes no sense.. its a ring road

so is the trafford centre towards manc centre? i always just go m56 then across princess parkway, turn at the brewery and up oxford road into the centre..

also where is hyde in relation? i go through stockport up to the m67..

I rung up the nobs the other day to ask why blue badge holders don't have to pay.

In my opinion they are disabled not poor.

And the tit on the phone said they may want to go shopping, so I said why don't they go after 'rush hour' if you want to cut rush hour traffic, he didn't know what to say

Disabled people also work Dav. Thankfully, some of them want to work and not live off the state.

Many different circumstances.

If a disabled person is working and having to commute by car etc then I think they should still have to pay if the bill goes thru,yes they may NEED to drive but so do many other people who 'public transport' is still way off the marks, its all just another way to make us pay through the arse for using our cars

I don't agree Tom.

A girl i know has no legs. She has plastic ones so can walk but with difficulty. How is a girl with no legs meant to use public transport?

She could sit on her arse all day at home but chooses to work in a call centre.

Look at my situation. I'm not going to use public transport to commute. I think my 2.5 hours travel per day is enough and not going to double that using a series of trains and buses.

I do not mind changing my car to something a bit for environmental friendly if it means I’m exempt. But am i bollocks paying any more out than i do to get to and from work.

im not saying she shouldnt use her car,im just saying there are many other people,able bodied or not who the concept of getting public transport to and from work is just not an option,wasnt having a go was just saying i dont see the need to segregate them

Sorry, i'm just coming on strong.

I think peoples circumstances would need to be looked into tbh. Fact is, if it's £5 per day to travel that road, i personally do not think it's feasible to work where i do. If i use my car it would cost me to much money and if i used public transport it would take far too long.

Signed the petition

ATM we'd only be looking at £1 a week if we had a busy Friday but I'd rather pay nothing. Can't really see it working going on the bus with all the stuff to fill 4 vending machines
