Gerard Street - latest news

I have just received this piece of information from Wigan Council.

As of Monday 16th June, for a period of 5 weeks, Gerard Street will become a temporary one-way street only permitting travel from the Wigan Road / Bolton Road / Princess Street junction towards the Warrington Road / Liverpool Road / Bryn Street junction. Bryn Street and Wigan Road will remain two way. This traffic management system will be in place from 9.30am until 4pm (i.e. during the off-peak period).

I have asked for this information to be put in the various notice boards in Ashton and Bryn and that the residents who live in the town centre be informed of this by letter.

Mr Ash,
This has been common knowlage for weeks if you look on the ashton forum site people have been having reservations about it for weeks. If a bus cant get round the corner at the crosskeys pub how is a 40 foot artic going to manage. Do no Ashton councilors attend any of these planning meetings its quite obvious from what happens in ashton they dont as only outsiders could plan such grid locking for ashton once again.

Hi Nigel
I found your comments in the local press very pertinent to the fiasco in Ashton centre.
Credit where its due, I say, I may sometimes disagree, but think on this matter you are doing your best for Ashton.

Nigel, I know that this perhaps isn't the right place to post this, but couldn't get onto your message board. With regard to the proposed development in Ashton Town Centre, could you just please clarify if it is a 'Lift Centre' or a 'Poly Clinic' that is being suggested for the town? I am a little confused, as are many residents and I can't seem to get any answers.

I am a local parent and I would like to know what you are doing to make Ashton safe for children. My 14 year old son was playing hide and seek with his friends tonight and he was jumped and battered by a drunken young adult. Why is there no where for children to go?
