Stupid idea that will merge standish shevington and standish lower gnd. Its a decent link from m58 and completion of inner ring road that is needed.

Who pays for the bypass George? Council are being told by Tory Government to make more cuts. You didnt support the budget including freezing of council tax. Where does the money come from? Just like a Tory (Oh forgot you used to be one!) cant balance the books.

Thats just what Standish needs - A Bypass on greenbelt land. Once granted open house for more houses!! Great Idea George!! The route planned is on greenbelt land between Crow Orchard Road and Boars Head. What a Joke!

There are so many brown sites in the Wigan area which if built on would improve the overall look of our town,leaving us the green sites to enjoy.

This by pass is well overdue and essential. Traffic at any time of day is appalling as a result of the over development of this once beautiful little village into the takeaway Centre of the North!

Standish was a large village 20 years ago, its now a small town with a horrendous traffic problem. Building the bypass would help to relieve some of this traffic and make the roads a lot safer and easier to get from a to b. Those with the knowledge are winding their way through the back streets to avoid the congestion which is further increasing traffic volume on roads that are meant only for residents.

Whenever anyone is coming to my house they always say "if I'm late you know its not my fault, you know what the traffic is like trying to get through Standish!"

Wigan council stopped this bypass in the 60s when the M6 was built by designating this largely wasteland as greenbelt, the argument was that if a road was built then the land would be opened up for housing. As Wigan is now desperate for housing this argument no longer exists.

All these new houses are going to be built at huge profit to the builders & council - yet nothing is in place to counterbalance the extra gridlock that already cripples Standish in rush hour at the moment? A bypass is long overdue and will benefit all the commuters from the North West that already crawl along at a snail's pace to & from the M6 every weekday.

Something drastic needs to be done, putting traffic lights on perfectly functional roundabouts is not the answer. Wigan council use some common sense, the by-pass would help a lot of commuters and businesses.

I am fully behind the call for a by pass. I do believe it is long over due and it is time the bridge to nowhere was used for the by pass.
