> Yes campaign is a diverse coalition of unions, businesses,
> environmentalists, commercial drivers, pensioners, students, voluntary
> associations and other local representative bodies campaigning for a
> ‘Yes’ vote in December’s referendum on a £3 billion investment in
> Greater Manchester’s transport network.
>
> You’re warmly invited to join us on the campaign trail. Our dedicated
> street team will be out and about spreading the word about the  
> benefits
> of the TIF proposals on the dates listed below. At each activity, we
> will be talking to local residents about the meaning and benefits of  
> the
> proposals, signing people up to the campaign and handing out
> information. We will provide materials, so you don’t need to bring
> anything with you.
