This year's In Town Without My Car Day improved upon last year's in some ways. There was clearer signage saying what the day was about, whereas last year it looked like just another street market. There were activities concerned with learning about sustainable transport, particularly about the health aspects. School kids were involved & there were some interesting publicity stunts such as people on horses. However, the actual road closure was less significant than last year: last year a section of Deansgate was closed, this time the area closed was already pedestrianised. There were no green groups to talk to this year, which made it feel very council dominated, and I'm not sure I can really accept that Manchester Airport should be so closely involved with an event that is supposed to be promoting sustainable transport.
