Old Hall Mill Lane runs from Leigh Road to The Avenue near to Leigh Infirmary. At the Leigh Road end it is a normal highway . From there to The Avenue it is unadopted and little more than a cart track.
When Brian Strett was chair of the hospital trust he tried to get planning permission to have the cart track upgraded to highway standard to become the official road into the infirmary. Brian was also a deputy leader of Wigan council.
The proposal was vetoed by Lord Smith.
