Following the news from the Bryn Councillor Gary Wilkes that there are 3 new possible roads in Bryn & Landgate area 2 serve the proposed 3 sisters business park extention, Today 2 traffic census machines were being placed 1 next to the speed camera at landgate and the other just between the railway bridge and entrance to lockett road on bryn road. Coincidence I dont think so.

Come on Bryn lets fight this

Julian this new survey seems to be following the same pattern as the previous surveys. The first survey was carried out by the developers who took a photo from a helicopter, counted the traffic on the roads at that time, fed the numbers into a computer and came out with a prediction of four percent; very clever considering that photo was taken on a Sunday. The second survey was carried out by Wigan Council who did their survey during the summer holidays when the schools were closed and many people were away on holiday, result; an eight percent increase. Now we have a further survey taking place when schools are just about to start half term holidays and many people will be taking their kids abroad for a holiday break. What’s the betting this survey will show that there has been a decrease and the figure is revised down to six percent?

Hi
