Petition for Standish to have a By-Pass

In recent days the labour Controlled Council have come up with ridiculous ideas for Widening School Lane. 

Over the years myself and the other Standish Independents have called for a By-Pass and both the Labour and Conservative Cllrs have voted against this idea some years ago. 

Now as more and more houses are built because again the Labour-controlled council approved 2,000 houses instead of the 1,000 houses that they said they would. We all know why? More money for Wigan Council.   

But as one of the consequences is that more traffic is now in the village and Labour have said they want to widen School lane to bring more traffic through. What we need is what I and others have called for years - a bypass!

On the current so-called consultation by Labour-controlled wigan council, it has emerged in the media that Standish Voice and the current Cllrs knew of this and said nothing. Not that that surprises me. In fact, the founder of Standish Voice - Paul Ogden - has come out and attacked me and petition. Why? Because they say I did it before they did it. Well answer to that is some lead and others follow like sheep and he is a sheep. 

If you agree with what we have been calling for, for years, a bypass for Standish. In fact, I even found this blog post to show that we have been calling or this since 2015. See proof here. 

Please if you agree that Wigan Council should not widen School Lane and think it is time for a By-Pass please sign and share the petition.
