Equality Impact Assessment for the new pavement level cycle track on Sackville Street

Manchester City Council did not have the information requested.

Dear Manchester City Council,

I am requesting the full Equality Impact Assessment and supporting documents for the pavement level cycle track recently installed on Sackville Street, just off the A57(M) slip lane, outside the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre.

The contraflow cycle lane leaves the road and joins a new pavement level bidirectional cycle track which then links to the pre-existing shared pedestrian/cycle path that runs under the A57(M). I am referring to the recently installed track between the on-road cycle lane, and the pre-existing shared pathway.

Yours faithfully,

A. J. Bell

Information Compliance, Manchester City Council
