When will Wigan wake traffic wise and complete a road from Bickershaw swing bridge to Dover Lock so that Slag Lane , Church Lane and Golborne road would be relieved of a great amount of traffic going towards Wigan and Ashton. No but they will allow unrestricted development in both areas of Lowton. Its not rocket science. But they only look at the extra revenue coming from Council tax to be spent in central Wigan.
Still not sure why Wigan was forced into joining Greater Manchester. It would have been nice to hold a vote on this matter. I suspect they did not because it would not have given them the outcome they wanted. My suspicion is that we were added to GM in order to bolster there population stats and make them seem more worthy of government investment. Pretty sure HS2 was proposed around the same.
