A big thank you to Oldham Labour Group for putting forward a motion at Council and backing my campaign for a fairer parking scheme at Manchester Airport and I’m grateful that the motion received unanimous support across the council.
Oldham Council is a shareholder in the airport, and tonight’s united position sends a very clear message: the current parking arrangements are letting local people down, and the airport must change tack.
This campaign is about standing up for residents, workers and families who deserve a parking system that is fair, transparent and doesn’t hit people in the pocket for simply trying to travel or pick someone up.
I’m proud that Labour led the way on this, and I want to thank every councillor who backed the motion and helped increase the pressure for the airport to do the right thing.
