Manchester council is asking people to share their views on how it should spend £14m to transform Deansgate. The town hall wants to turn this city centre 'destination' from being a 'traffic dominated environment' to one that is safer at night with better air quality and more space for walking and cycling.

It comes after part of the major city centre road was closed to cars with fines set to come into force this week. The new 'bus gate' means only buses, taxis and cycles can go south on Deansgate from Blackfriars to King Street West.

Last year, the local authority also set out plans for two-way segregated cycle lanes on Deansgate and new pedestrian crossings near the train station with only buses, hackney carriages and cycles allowed on Whitworth Street West.

The latest scheme is for four sections of the street, from Victoria Bridge Street near Manchester Cathedral to Liverpool Street by Beetham Tower. READ MORE: What Greater Manchester's new Clean Air Zone could look like...
