A HINDLEY Green housing estate is to be partially closed after residents complained about Traffic using it as a short cut.
Traffic surveys carried out in Edinburgh Drive, Stuart Avenue and Taylor Road revealed that large numbers of vehicles were regularly using the area to make short cuts.
The Highway and Works Committee have submitted proposals to close Taylor Road in two places in a bid to solve the problem, but the decision may affect neigbouring residents and involve longer travelling times.
The planned closures will be near 50 Taylor Road and at the junction of Stuart Avenue and 28 Taylor Road.
Plans showing the proposed changes can be inspected at Hindley Town Hall, Leigh Town Hall and Civic Buildings, New Market Street, Wigan.
