Manchester road pricing opponent ejected from meeting

16 January 2008
 
A bid to scupper Greater Manchester’s congestion charge plans was foiled when the man behind it was banished from a council chamber.

Labour-controlled Wigan’s opposition leader, Peter Franzen, was ordered out before he had chance to put his motion calling for the plans to be scrapped.

But, he says, he will be back, and is to demand an extraordinary general meeting of the council so the motions can be put again. Plans to attract £3bn of public transport improvements in return for introducing road pricing are already on a knife edge.

If Wigan should pull out, it would destroy the required two-thirds majority in favour of the plan within the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities.

But, after a stormy meeting at Wigan Town Hall, Community Action Party leader, Councillor Franzen was ejected after repeatedly clashing with mayor John O’Neil.
