A developer hoping to build a controversial ‘1,100 home community’ at Mosley Common has confirmed they have a plan in place to address issues raised by objectors. The masterplan, which was approved by Wigan Council last month, came under fire after failing to address the potential impact more residents would have on schools and road congestion.
The highway network around the proposed site is a major problem at peak times - leaving long lines of snaking queues looking to access the East Lancs road. This is causing people to be late for work, school and appointments and developer Peel L&P has identified as many as five problem junctions to which they will propose an improvement package for.
This will come as part of a consultation due to be launched soon that will also address concerns around school provision and provide detail on Peel’s contribution to the community in a wider aspect in the future.
