Mayoral Candidate Geraldine Coggins Advocates for 'Car Free Sundays' in Greater Manchester
# Mayoral Candidate in UK City Supports 'Car Free Sundays'
Geraldine Coggins, a candidate for the Greater Manchester mayoral race, has come forward as an advocate for implementing 'car free Sundays.' Her role in a recent taskforce highlighted the need for a reduction in vehicular traffic to enhance community safety and environmental health in the region.
Coggins connects the proposed initiative to a broader vision for Greater Manchester, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing pedestrian safety. Given that over 1,000 individuals are killed or seriously injured in road incidents annually in the area, she aims to rally public support for a safer urban environment. "Geraldine makes no apology for campaigning to keep people safe on our streets when there are more than 1,000 people killed or seriously injured each year in Greater Manchester," stated The Green Party.
This move, Coggins argues, is not merely a restriction but an opportunity for residents to enjoy their city free from traffic. "They are tired of being told to settle for less. This campaign will offer a positive vision for the future of Greater Manchester and show that Green leadership can deliver real change," she added, outlining her commitment to improving the quality of life for all citizens.
