Podcast appearances and mentions of frances molloy

Frances Molloy has spoken of her relief and joy that the new legislation she has so tirelessly campaigned for will come into force from Monday 1 February. Last year she received a letter from the Roads Minister Charlotte Vere has confirmed that the law governing tyres will change on February 1, 2021. Frances who launched the Tyred campaign which gained support from the celebs like Jodie Comer, said she never doubted this day would come and added: “I feel that I have finally done what I set out to do, and had to do, for my son. “I am his mum. Who else was going to do this for him? “Who else was going to make sure his life meant something, except me. “It's been a very long campaign and between us all we have achieved this law so that this can never happen again to another family.”

This is going to be an emotional yet truly inspiring listen for you whoever is about to press play on this podcast today on international women’s day. Proving a mother’s love sees no boundaries, a Liverpool mum campaigned tirelessly for stricter laws over tyres has finally won her battle. Frances Molloy lost her 18-year-old son Michael in a coach crash in 2012. Somehow she has found the strength and courage to force changes to the law and make it illegal for buses and coaches to use tyres that are more than 10 years old. Hear her story, from ultimate lady of Liverpool herself, Francis Molloy.
