General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I was only thinking about this posting from this topic the other day.

"During the mid 1980's the police investigated Wigan Council, because there was some evidence that the route of the Wigan Inner Ring Road had been influenced by employees of the Council receiving "payments" from those who would or could have been affected by the route of the Ring Road"

And the other day I was looking at me 1969 map of Wigan and I noticed this





Now if you look carefully there is the outline of a new proposed road which was eventually built 20 years later as the Wigan Inner Ring Road, on this map the broken line is the proposed route of the road in 1969 so I wonder who or what organization influenced the route of the inner ring road, I thought it might have been Wigan Rugby but this route shows the road going to the West of Central Park.
