I believe that if the Northern Bypass was built then the council and planners would just build all the way along it and so taking the whole thing back to square one.

Beware anyone wishing for the Northern Bypass: it will only reduce traffic marginally if at all (s ee the inspectors report) but in the long term it means even more industrial units right next to our houses.

We should be looking for ways to reduce traffic in this town and not spending all out time wondering how we can build more roads to cram in yet more!

Hi Ian
I totally agree, however we have to be prepared that the wishes of the vast majority of the people of Ashton will be ignored and a northern bypass will then be needed.
The council say that it is too expensive, to me this raises an interesting question? Where is the money going from the sale of the land the council owns? looking at the MAD site and the parcel of land the council owns, I should imagine there is one million pounds of OUR MONEY there.
Will this go to some grandois scheme in some other part of the borough?
