Manchester Road changes will make it safer to shop
The six local Lb Dem councillors who represent the area around Manchester
Road and Roe Lane are pleased that the planned improvement works are set
to begin next week, particularly at a time when the council us so
cash-strapped generally.
Councillor Sue McGuire who arranged an urgent meeting with Council officers
to discuss the initial proposals which included the introduction of parking
restrictions on Manchester Road explained "I'm delighted that the Council
listened to the concerns of both businesses and residents which called for
the removal of the planned parking restrictions. The new plan will benefit
everyone in the area and will help to define this area as a unique retail
community."
Dukes ward councillor Tony Dawson commented that this was a great example
of cross party working saying he was pleased that his fellow ward
councillors also supported the revised proposals.
Councillor Bil Welsh said: "The Zetland Street pedestrian island
improvement should make it much easier for residents from Hartwood Road and
beyond to get to the Manchester Road shops"
Councilor Pat Keith concluded: "As with all major work, there will be
temporary disruption to traffic. But at the end, the new pedestrian phases
in the Roe Lane/Leyland Road lights will make crossing at this junction
significantly safer."
