"What we have had since the invention of sat nav is HGVs coming off the motorway system to try and avoid Simister island, they come either through Heywood, or come up Heywood Old Road, through Birch and Bowlee, because sat nav has told them to do that.”
“It’s been the top of our agenda for many, many years in terms of giving some relief to local people,” he said. “It won’t be developed in an impersonal, bland way it will be built in a way that tries to conserve as much green space as possible. We need this link road, it’s vital that we have this.”
