At a jam-packed planning meeting, council officers argued that there would be ‘no significant’ traffic impact
Villagers in Woodhouses, Oldham , are worried. They claim a 'horrific' road safety issue could be about to get 'much worse' - if plans for more than 40 new houses on Ashton Road are approved by Oldham Council.
But in over 119 objections and a petition signed by more than 200 residents, neighbours worried the development would ‘ruin our village and environment’. They argued the new homes would only add to the 'dangerous' problem on Ashton Road, already 'choking on' congestion and parking 'mayhem'. “The village is a rat run for people cutting through into Manchester,” Paul said. “At peak times, that quadruples the amount of traffic through the village.
“People with push chairs have to walk in the road because the pavements are all parked up. Nobody sticks to the speed limits. People park up the roundabout. It’s really dangerous.”
