This is the last episode of this current series of the Right To The Streets GM Moving podcast and we certainly couldn’t finish the series without exploring one of the biggest attractions in Trafford: sport. The area is home to two of Greater Manchester’s biggest sporting venues, Manchester United’s Old Trafford ground and Lancashire Cricket Club, which have a combined seated capacity of about 96,000. With that huge throng of people taking to the streets of Old Trafford most weeks, we wanted to explore how sports events like these impact the feeling of safety amongst the women and girls who visit or live in the area. This week we ask how inclusive this sporting community is and how our current facilities, infrastructure, programmes, role models and cultural norms help and hinder women and girls' access and participation.------------------------Episode transcript available to download.------------------------The Right to the Streets podcast is just the start of the conversation and we want to hear from you.
