New Manchester transport links would boost property market |
11 2008 |
The editor of a leading property website has claimed that the proposed transport improvements in Manchester would provide a huge boost to the city's property market. The government has stated that a double-cordon congestion charge pricing scheme must be incorporated as part of ambitious plans to improve tram, bus and train services. However, the £3 billion proposals, which have been submitted to the government's Transport Innovation Fund (TIF), look set to be given the all-clear. BuyAssociation website editor Paul Collins has welcomed the news, saying: "There's an awful lot of property supply that's going to be coming on to the market quite soon - there's a huge amount of building going on. "If it's a lot easier for people to get to their properties, and to get around the city by public transport, then that's obviously a great thing." Unlike the current London congestion charge, the Manchester scheme will use one cordon covering the main core of the Greater Manchester urban area and another covering Manchester city centre.  |
