Andy Burnham's Active Travel Legacy in Greater Manchester.

So how good is it?<br /><br />Harry and Will go back over nine years of Burnham to work that out. They start with the Chris Boardman era, when Greater Manchester put serious money behind walking, wheeling and cycling for the first time outside London, and the messaging on everyday cycling was genuinely ahead of its time. Then things get harder. The clean air zone he set up, signposted and paid for, and then walked away from once the backlash hit. The shift from leading on active travel to reacting to it. The bike hire scheme that was arguably designed to fail from the day it launched half-docked. School streets, which both hosts have a hand in delivering, and which have quietly become the centre of the active travel agenda.<br /><br />There's praise where it's due, including the buses, and a fair bit of criticism where it isn't, particularly on clean air. Harry makes the case for the kind of leader Burnham could still choose to be in Westminster. Will hands down a score. They don't agree on it.<br /><br />Moving Up North is supported by Leigh Day, Lawyers Against Injustice.
