MORE than 90 per cent of residents surveyed by a Walkden councillor want the Leigh Guided Busway project scrapped.
Cllr Iain Lindley set up an online survey asking people’s opinion on the scheme, which has caused major disruption for motorists in recent weeks.
More than 750 people responded, and Cllr Lindley said the Labour councils in Salford and Wigan were ignoring the wishes of the local community.
He said: "I'm appalled by the ongoing disruption caused to local people going about their daily business.
“It is causing huge disruption during the construction phase and will continue to cause tailbacks when it is finished, all at a huge financial cost and without significant improvements to public transport on completion.
