TfGM owns and manages the scheme, which is operated by Beryl, and we are working together to restore the availability of bikes as soon as possible. When creator David Law left the strip, it was taken over by Bob McGrath and later John Dallas, then Robert Nixon. In 1999 she was heavily revamped by Karl Dixon, but in 2006 artist Steve Bright restored her original appearance. In September 1990, it was decided to merge the Topper with another of D. C. Thomson's long-running comics, The Beezer and the two comics combined as Beezer and Topper. This continued in publication until 1993; it subsequently closed, with a small amount of content from the combined comic subsequently relocating into other D. C. Thomson publications The Beano and The Dandy.

In addition, we have been experiencing increasingly high demand for our bikes, with usage around three times higher than expected, and following the opening of thirty new stations in the last month in Trafford and Manchester city centre we are also seeing a change in how they are being used.

This resource contains a number of different reading texts. Each text is split up into short sections to make them more manageable for younger readers. Alongside each section of the text, there are a series of accompanying questions that are appropriate for year 1 children. To complete the literacy test, kids must carefully read the passages and answer the questions appropriately. Lobby group Walk Ride GM, an influential campaigning organisation, who have been cosy with Andy Burnham and of TfGM, has publicly called for ‘an urgent review into the cycle hire scheme’ by Burnham and TfGM. Reason: The founders were: ‘Very, very unhappy [and] frustrated’ with the number of women on stage and the roles for women and…the initial impetus was to redress the balance and to put [their] stories on stage.’

Beryl the Peril first appeared in the first issue of The Topper in 1953. She was created to be a female equivalent to The Beano’s Dennis the Menace. Davey Law, her artist and creator, drew inspiration from his daughter, who would often pull faces during her tantrums. The strips were similar in concept to the Dennis the Menace ones in that she would cause chaos through menacing her neighbours, parents and school teachers. In 1958, Beryl was chosen as one of the few of D.C. Thomson’s characters to earn an annual all to herself, consisting solely from reprints in past years.

I interviewed Phil Ellis, CEO of Beryl bikes and Ian Baxter, the Scheme Manager for Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), in May. We discussedgeneral principles of the Beryl bike scheme rather than the recent disappearances but we touched on relevant subjects. It is interesting to note that the name Beryl has its roots in Greek mythology. Beryl was a sea nymph who was transformed into a precious stone by the god Apollo. This gemstone was believed to have healing properties and was often used in ancient times to ward off evil spirits.

Beryl the Peril was a tearaway tomboy character that was a regular feature in The Topper, a weekly comic for boys and girls and is one I fondly remember from the sixties. The Topper was an oversized almost "broadsheet" sized comic along the lines of The Beezer. It's stable mates included the better known Dandy and Beano of which the latter has managed to survive until this day.

And the decision was welcomed by Dundee politicians who claimed she was a bad role model for kids.He would say to my mother, 'Did you catch that? Did you see the expression on her face?' I think some of Beryl's grimaces were mine."
