Good Morning
Just a quick update for everyone helping us to promote the European Cycle Challenge across Greater Manchester. We’re now over a week into the Challenge so here are a few stats:
· We have clocked up over 12,000km so far within GM boundaries and are currently 21st out of 52 cities across Europe
· We have had over 700 people register via the app, but only around 300 people have so far registered 10km or more (‘Active Participants’)
· The Top 5 teams in terms of ‘km inside boundary per member’ are:
o Bolton Council
o Gazprom
o Love Your Bike
o CCMCC
o Eversheds Sutherland
· Our first 3 weekly prize winners have been drawn and they are:
o 1st prize £150 shopping vouchers – Cyclefitz
o 2nd prize £75 shopping vouchers – Reidme
o 3rd prize – £50 shopping vouchers Clare.07
We will continue to do weekly prize draws every Monday throughout the challenge, so it’s worth joining in even as you go through the month. Winners are drawn at random from all ‘active participants’ so it’s well worth encouraging those who have registered but not logged 10km yet to get on their bikes and start recording! There will also be a Team Prize at the end of the Challenge.
Please continue to promote the challenge via any of your channels, especially via social media, using the #ecc2017eu hashtag.
Come on everyone, let’s try and get into the Top Ten by this time next week!
Any questions, please email: cycling@tfgm.com
Kind regards

Transport bosses are warning Metrolink customers to expect disruption due to an unsafe building.
Mosley Street in the city centre has been closed to all traffic and pedestrians, and the following Metrolink services are affected:
Unaffected services:
Rail tickets are being accepted between Deansgate-Castlefield and Piccadilly.
Danny Vaughan, Head of Metrolink, said: “The closure of Mosley Street has impacted Metrolink services through the city centre. We are running a reduced service on the Altrincham, Eccles, Ashton and Manchester Airport lines to ensure the safety of our customers.
“Mosley Street will remain closed until the building can be assessed, so we don’t yet know how long the disruption will last for. We are advising all customers to allow extra time for journeys while the road closure is in place, particularly those heading into the city tonight and over the weekend.
“We will update the Metrolink website when more information becomes available. Customers can also follow @MCRMetrolink on Twitter for regular updates.
“We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but unfortunately the road closure is beyond our control and customer safety is our utmost priority.”
More information is also available on by calling Metrolink Customer Services on 0161 205 2000.
Summer is finally here and with it, hopefully, some sunshine. It’s hard to beat the feeling of gliding along with the sun shining down but when you’re headed to work it can come with its challenges.
No one wants to arrive at work sweaty and rumpled (your colleagues probably won’t love it if you’ve spent your commute trying to conquer a Strava segment either).
But help is at hand, just follow our super simple tips and you'll stay cool and collected this summer.
Dear Recipient,
As you may know The Transport for Greater Manchester (Light Rapid Transit System) (Trafford Park Extension) Order 2016 (The Order) came into force on 24th November 2016. This Order gives Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) the legal powers to build and operate the new Trafford Park Metrolink Extension between Pomona and intu Trafford Centre. This new six stop route will offer fast, frequent connections to jobs, leisure, shopping and cultural destinations and across the wider Metrolink network.
The Order has also given TfGM the legal powers to make any Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders (TTROs) required to facilitate the works. Whilst this process is usually undertaken by the Highway Authority, TfGM have, for administrative reasons, elected to undertake the process. However, please note that any TTROs made by TfGM are being made with the prior agreement of the Highway Authority – Trafford Council.
The overall works will involve advance major utility diversions, the installation of 5.5km track and associated infrastructure, construction of the new Metrolink stops and the introduction of new highway arrangements to enable the tram to run segregated to road traffic. In order to facilitate the above, it is necessary to introduce phases of temporary changes to the way the existing highways in the area normally operate including major, but temporary, changes in direction of traffic. The initial phases of closures and changes to the local highways and footways are as follows:
*It is anticipated, that wherever possible , at least one of the roads listed above will remain open when others are temporarilly closed to facilitate local access. Local traffic diversion signing will be placed on site and maintained to identify these routes and stakeholders will be updated in advance of any temporary closures being implemented.
These temporary road changes are required and designed to complete the Metrolink works as efficiently as possible while maintaining access to businesses and stakeholders at all times. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused. This early notification is intended to enable you to plan and adapt your journeys before the temporary road closures are introduced.
Mitigation
Many of the changes will remain in place for approximately three years. This is to provide consistency for businesses, employees and visitors to the area, rather than frequently changing which roads are open and closed.
To maintain the flow of traffic while the changes are in place, TfGM will use a number of variable message signs around the wider Trafford highway network to provide advance warnings to highway users of the works, install several CCTV cameras to monitor the impact of the changes and undertake adjustments to traffic light sequences where necessary.
Further information
For more information and details of the highway closures and changes, please find linked below the Notices of Intent for the introduction of these TTROs and maps highlighting the closures, changes to highway and diversion routes for each phase.
Bus routes will be affected by these changes. Further information on potential changes to routes will be communicated in advance.
