UPDATE
In February/March 2024, the Major Projects Team consulted on proposals to introduce sustainable travel routes in Ashton-In-Makerfield. The proposed scheme focuses on a north-south route close to the town centre and looks at improving some off-road routes and installing new crossings on busy roads to begin building a walking and cycling network.
The proposals consist of:
- Toucan crossings on Liverpool Road and Bolton Road.
- Improved off road route between Council Avenue and Townfields.
- A new, wider footbridge over Millingford Brook (near St Oswald’s Catholic Primary School).
- ‘Quiet Streets’ on St Oswalds Road and Vicarage Road.
Since the consultation closed, we have reviewed the comments received and all feedback has been considered and the proposals have been changed to accommodate suggestions where appropriate. Please refer to the attachment to see a summary of the feedback received and what we have done as a result of it.
