Peel submits £155m Wigan neighbourhood plans

“A transport hub, which Peel will deliver through a partnership with Transport for Greater Manchester.” Just like PLP delivered the rail link at Port Salford?

So what about Doctor’s, Dentists, School places being provided in an already over subscribed area with the amount of new houses that have been built in this area in the last 5 years.

Lovely CGI. Ghost houses, and a flock of birds.

Consultation??? So they have yet again ignored local peoples views on traffic (which is really bad now), reduced services happening in the bus route services offered now, lack of public services such as schools, drs, dentists (which are all full now).
An extra stop on the over crowded bus route does not constitue increased public transport or increased access to it.
Tyldesley traffic is at a stand still during ‘rush’ hours and at many other times of the day and getting on the East Lancs road can take upto 40 mins from Tyldesley and getting to the motorway over an hour.

Scheme is not high density enough. Waste of available land. We should be building small-scale (4/5 storeys) apartment blocks around the Guided Busway stop in particular. We have a crippling housing crisis in this country with the majority of young people likely never able to afford to buy their own place, with rents claiming over 50% of their income, and yet developers and planners are reluctant to build the number of homes we actually need just because local NIMBYs complain about “traffic problems”.

STOP BUILDING! Anyone who has ever been to Mosley Common will know how congested it’s been for years – all these new builds bring thrown up will only make it worse! We need better highway infrastructure, more schools, more doctors and more dentists to accommodate all these new residents. You’re making our lives a misery

for transport hub, read bus stop. The wider transport and traffic impacts of proposals around the Wigan and Salford LA boundaries never seem to take account of the cumulative impact of those sites being developed.

Mosley Common Road is already at over capacity as is the junction with A580 due to new housing already built. This will make it far worse

The developers should also be required to build the infrastructure needed to accommodate the increased number of people living in the area. They make plenty of profit they have land banked this area since the 1980s so they should be made to create main roads schools gp and dental surgeries ie the things that an increase in the number of habitants will need to access. Particularly roads

There needs to be rail & trams built into this (if they aren’t) or else it’s a none starter. The roads cannot take anymore. Secondly consider who they award building contracts to. The current array of quality housebuilders in the area are anything but ‘quality’

Pointless objecting people, it is happening! The most frustrating thing is why Tyldseley, like Leigh, is part of Wigan? Get rid I say!

Consultation don’t make me laugh!
The traffic in this area is at a standstill as it is. I hate to think whete all these extra cars are going to go.

Why has this area been subjected to multiple housing developments in the past 5 years? The landscape, greenery and wildlife have already effected, whilst the already overloaded local infrastructure has not been improved to meet the increased demand from residents of the area. To say that there will be a ‘green walking network’ is a ridiculous, when there is already public right of way over the land that local wildlife is free to use.

What about a school, there is a need for schools to meet needs of growing population. Every major housing project must include school and doctors

No mention being built on Green Belt land !

North of Mosley Common? It’s Tyldesley – Mosley Common is a mere suburb of Tyldesley, as is Astley. Oh, and don’t be believing the paltry number of 16,000 residents living in Tyldesley – there are in fact around 40,000 – the numbers are skewed for political purposes.

So, yet more loss of wildlife habitats, but never mind because Peel will compensate this with “three new parks” and a “green walking network” that will “help increase biodiversity” – yeah, after already ripping up the current biodiversity.

The area floods regularly and the traffic situation in Tyldesley and the surrounding area will become worse still but never mind – they will install those all important “transport links” to that white elephant deity that is the Guided Busway – the biggest waste of tax payers money there ever was, that requires continual maintenance and which is simply a blueprint for tarmacing the whole thing and widening as a shortcut to Leigh.

The local Labour Party have a lot to answer for – they have ruined a once beautiful town and ripped the heart out of it, stolen our Public Library amongst other things, besides approving (eventually) every development that has ever been submitted to their planning department.

Complain all you like. It’s going to happen no matter how many object. Convert the Busway into a tram to provide much needed capacity, I’ve stopped using it as I can never get on it since they reduced the frequency.

Mosley Common Road is already an absolute nightmare for traffic, more houses will only make this worse. Leave our green spaces alone and satisfy your greed somewhere else. Fed up Mosley Common Resident.

Mosley common is already at a standstill with traffic. We can’t find a dentist or see a doctor so how will this be improved with all the extra houses being built on our green belt land?? How many schools, gp surgeries or dentists are you building? Or what about new roads to get us to the motorway in a morning to lessen the congestion?? No, I thought not!

I am yet to find a single housing development across Wigan & Bolton that hasn’t been aggressively objected against by local residents. I have no idea where you want young people to live. Ridiculous. Additionally, when they do put plans forward for a road extension or bypass, this also gets rejected by locals. Cannot win. Very selfish views.
