Protect Levenshulme Small Businesses

This petition was published by Michael Lyons on Sep 14, 2009

We the undersigned think that the refurbishment of the Gas infrastructure, currently being carried out by Balfour Beatty PLC, is understaffed, that the length of time the roads are closed is unacceptable, and that all local businesses are suffering in an already difficult economic climate.

Balfour Beatty in pursuit of their own profits are underfunding and understaffing the pipeline project. Road crossings that would have taken one week to do in the sixties are now taking 2 months.

We fear that a lot of our businesses will not be around by the time this work is finished unless action is taken to speed up the work. We petition the Manchester County Council for a recuction in our rates, because without that, many of us will not survive the next few months. We ask the public for support in our petition as we want to keep alive our community, we want to be there for our customers, without their help we might not be.

Our fight is for the community, and the heart of that community are the small businesses that make up the centre.
