Croft Parish Council have objected to a proposal by Wigan Council to impose a weight restriction on parts of Winwick Lane. It is believed that this weight restriction will have a detrimental impact on traffic diverting through the area.
Residents are encouraged to object to this proposal. The objections from Croft Parish Council are in this post, however anyone using them as a guide should not copy verbatim and try to use their own wording and sequence the points as they wish.
Objections should be sent to shaun.ali@wigan.gov.uk who is the Wigan MBC Traffic Officer who attended a public meeting at Glazebury. (Please ask Mr Ali to direct the email to Mr Whitworth of Wigan MBC)
**The deadline for submission of objections is Monday 2nd December.**
