ROAD improvements to reduce congestion on Old Mill Lane are being looked at by the council.
Traffic bottlenecks at the road’s junctions with Asda and the road around B and M were raised by councillors during a planning meeting discussing a new Aldi store at the bottom of Old Mill Lane.
Coun Ken Richardson said the ‘smart traffic system’ isn’t working as well as it should in that area and there are traffic issues further up the road around B and M, and Asda.
Chairman of the planning board, Coun Doug Birkinshaw, told the meeting ideas are being looked at to alleviate congestion.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
