On recent singles "Hard Life" and "Running," Manchester, U.K.-born songwriter and vocalist Pip Millett has dealt with heavy issues linked to structural problems in society like racism and the links between poverty and crime. New song "Ride With Me" is more inward looking but no less heavy-hitting with Millett's pillow-soft vocals barely hiding the hurt as she opens up about a platonic relationship gone bad.
'This road is a nightmare': People's feelings about the speed limit change on Mancunian Way
16.02.2022 - 10:23 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City Council made the sudden announcement earlier this week that the speed limit on one of its busiest roads would be dropping.
The speed limit on the Mancunian Way, which cuts through the city was lowered from 50mph to 30mph, from 9pm on Monday (February 14).

This decision was made in response to a series of crashes on the road - 29 since 2018 according to highways official analysis - including one which was fatal.

Other recent collisions have also damaged crash barriers on the road, meaning it will be closed on March 12 and 13 for repairs to be carried out.
This decision sparked much debate on our Facebook page, with some completely outraged by the move, and others pointing out that regular traffic jams mean you're lucky to get up to 30mph in the first place.
One who thought it could have a positive impact on the traffic, Phil Ward, said: "The change should make it smoother and safer to drive on, with arguably less pollution as people aren't revving up to 50mph.
"It would add at most 1 minute to journey times. I love driving on the Mancunian Way as much as the next manc, and I wonder if 40mph might have been a good compromise here."
Others were unsure how this would affect the regular traffic jams that bring the A57(m) to a standstill at peak times.
