THE Highway people are laying a slip-road from St Peter's Way to Little Lever

It is an improvement, but look how much more of an improvement it would be if the traffic from Bolton and Farnworth heading for the M60 clockwise didn't have to cross over the traffic from the M61 heading for the M60 anticlockwise.

The solution is for the traffic from St Peter's Way to go onto the A580 slip-road travel 500 to 600 metres then make a slip-road on the right past the cross-over onto the clockwise M60 slip-road. Result! No cross-over.

I estimate the benefit would be many times the former.

It must be getting on for 20 years since I first contacted the Highways Agency about this matter but I was ignored.

I suggested the idea to the Minister of Transport years ago, the reply was a leaflet on urban congestion.

The number man days lost each year must be enormous. Come on you people of Bolton support me, look at the time saved.
