A brand new road opens in Burscough very soon.
Construction work on Chancel Way, the new route linking the thriving Burscough industrial estate with the A59, has been progressing over the last 18 months.
The West Lancashire Highways and Transport Masterplan was adopted and published in October 2014 and outlined our ambitious and wide-ranging vision to transform the transport network in West Lancashire.
The plan for West Lancashire sets out options for major improvements to railways, highways, public transport, and walking and cycling facilities, to ensure the district can realise its potential for economic growth and avoid its distinctive rural character being degraded by congestion.
One of the plan's outcomes was to rescind the proposal for a bypass of Ormskirk. This followed a study of the M58 to Southport Corridor, which showed that the effect of a bypass would be limited as much of the traffic in the town centre was local, and there was no prospect of securing funding for non-strategic schemes.

And when there's an accident on that route - which happens all too often - all the traffic has to route through Ormskirk town centre instead.

An Ormskirk by-pass is very badly needed, ask the good people of Ormskirk, they'll tell you!
