FOLLOWING a hard campaign to get the council to address the traffic situation on Blackburn Rd, I'm pleased to announce there will be some improvement works at the junction of Asda/Crompton Way.

A petition which was signed by 500 residents was handed in to the mayor in April this year and it appears the council have finally took note. Although the project is subject to funding from TfGM and will be scrutinised by the council, improvements couldn't come sooner.

Hopefully this is just the start of road and junction improvements for Astley Bridge and across the whole of Bolton as residents are simply wasting their lives away by sitting in endless queues of traffic.
