General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

The 1949 roads plan of Lancashire County Council included a continuation of the M58 to Westhoughton and associated link roads from Wigan.
When the same authority reclaimed the land around the 3 sisters and designed the South Lancs industrial estate they incorporated a road from the estate to the M6 link road at Landgate. Unfortunately the 1974 local government reorganisation meant that responsibility for roads in our area moved to Manchester before the industrial estate was finished. Transferred from an authority with generations of expertise in bridge and road building to one with very little experience.
