Slow day today with support.
We need 1 to hit 600.

And we're there.

Just passed the 600 milestone a moment ago, now 601.

I have been messaging loads of FB friends asking them to sign and share. I hope we are all doing the same or similar?

 

[Hendi]

I've shared and invited freinds to sign, shared it all on twitter too

I've shared with colleagues at work today.

Now 619, an increase of 69 since last night.

 

[White Heather]

Wow, sudden rush. Now 643, another 24 in 30 minutes.

With 649 signatures already on the petition, that would make it larger than the 647 followers on GALBA’s Facebook page. All within a week!

Fantastic work by all so far, but still a long way to go!

Disappointing today. Since your post at 1013 this morning just 10 have signed. We now have 659 at 1730. Let's hope a few sign up this evening.

Disappointingly still only 669 at 2100

Still 669 at 2230 so just 26 all day. It's lost momentum. People are not sharing enough when signing. Incredible too how little interest there has been on some LBA Facebook groups.

Even supposedly LBA supporting ones.

People just dont get it. In their eyes LBA is and I quote:

Building new runways
Going to build on green fields
Going to "start" night flying

..and I read today that LCC wants to scrap ring road improvements and spend the money in Leeds city centre. No doubt on more cycle lanes.

This country is well and truly shafted.

Well Leeds is. Our Council is a joke. Even Doncaster Council gets more done these days. This is what happens when environmentalists take over the planning department. The Labour party is behind much of this. God help us if they win the next election.

Pity they can't see how things are done in Scotland! Way ahead here.

I am seriously thinking if moving up there!

The argument there then is why does Labour controlled Leeds council behave the polar opposite of Labour controlled Manchester council with so many key decisions. I know Manchester airport is in Cheshire but Manchester council is still a major shareholder and key decision maker.

Simply the quality of Executive and councillors at Manchester who decided to drive it to be the best City in the North. They chose bold and driven entrepreneurs to be their chief execs ( eg Bernstein ), and it showed. We chose Tom Riordon a career public sector bod who previously worked at the now defunct public sector quango Yorkshire Forward!.
Whilst Leeds equivocated about trams going through Headingley they simply built them. They now have a fantastic infrastructure and therefore the ability for commuter housing developments to be built around this infrastructure. Leeds has poor connectivity and a housing plan that keeps building swathes of houses without the public transport to facilitate this....Leeds' answer to this massive commuter congestion issue due to lack of public transport.....cycle lanes.

Bold decisions have to be made for the Leeds City Region but I fear it is now too late...we are miles behind the City of Manchester.

Only 6 more signatures so far today. I do hope there are many that just haven't got round to signing. I will wrack my minuscule brain to see if I can find anyone else to share the link with
