More congestion at the retail park,at peak times it will be gridlocked

You need to sort the traffic infrastructure before you allow any more huge buildings that will generate even more traffic making it an absolute nightmare for local residents

You seriously need to sort out the traffic infrastructure at present it’s a nightmare for local residents

The Neary way roundabout was supposed to have been enlarged to ease congestion when Aldi opened, another broken promise as this never happened and now to the delight of residents the promise of even more congestion as they attempt to access the motorway. Planners couldn’t even organise a one ticket raffle and have no interest in the concerns or welfare of the local community

Sort out the traffic misery of residents first. What idiot thinks it’s a good idea to create even more demand on the already pitiful infrastructure?

They may use Rivers Lane to fain further access. Here’s hoping.

What about the CYCLOPS circle we were promised after the consultation taken by Urmston Active Neighbourhood? Deafening silence. It’s hell as a pedestrian trying to cross over Neary Way and an accident waiting to happen.
