The bridge issue has been an extremely one sided affair with the council (£500,000 spent on promotion by the council to date) media and businesses supporting it to the hilt with, until recently, limited objective public debate on the matter.
A couple of weeks ago following the postponement of the decision regarding a second crossing the Widnes Weekly News started a campaign for residents to back the bridge and part of this relates to encouraging people to sign a petition.
In order for a little balance in the matter I've started a poll on this blog for people to consider and respond to - please consider participating in this but before you do, particularly if you feel strongly about having a second crossing, I'd suggest that you take a look at the verbal evidence the Green Party presented to the recent public inquiry (see this blog 26/6/08) then vote - thanks.
