Alan, you really should get your facts right - John signed an EDM which supported motorcycles being allowed onto bus lanes, NOT cycle lanes. As far as recycling is concerned, which Council in Greater Manchester has the best (by far) recycling record? Oh guess what, it's Lib Dem run Stockport. (Over 30% and increasing). It's simply not true to give the impression that Lib Dem councils are poor on recycling. Yes, Liverpool needs to do a lot better, but when the Lib Dems took over in Liverpool, they inherited the worst (Labour) Council in the Country and they have made spectacular progress in the last few years.
