Manchester Friends of the Earth's coordinator, Graeme Sherriff, had the honour this summer (2003) of receiving the "Earth Movers" award, a prize given by national Friends of the Earth to recognise outstanding achievements from within its network of groups. Graeme collected the prize in September at the organisation's national conference in Leicester. The award, in the "inspirational voice" category, is primarily for the group's work in Longsight talking to community groups about transport and the problems they have getting around.
The project report, which has just been published, will kick off campaigning work to try to improve the situation. Other achieve-ments of the group were also in the nomination, including their enhanced web presence and its prominent profile in the local media.
