NO wonder motorists are puzzled that work has not yet started on work at a major road junction.

Road signs at the Dunscar War Memorial stated it would take eight weeks to install traffic lights and build a slip road between Darwen Road and Blackburn Road.

But three months after it was supposed to begin, work has still not started.

Apparently a legal wrangle between Bolton Council and the private developers who promised to fund the scheme has delayed the start of the work. Now that is resolved, let's hope work starts as soon as possible.
