Unadopted means that it is not maintained by Bolton Council, it was in the ownership of the residents and as such it was little more than a dirt track.
£60,000 had been sourced from the Traffic Infrastructure fund to remedy this.
However when developers bought the Breightmet Chemical Works site and submitted a planning application for houses, I, as Chairman of the Planning Committee at the time asked that they initially put a base coat of tarmac down before they did the development and, on completion of the sale of all the houses, they then fully surface the road.
This they agreed to and have done.
I'm not completely satisfied with the finish.
Anyway, this left the £60,000 still intact which we decided would be spent on the ginnel at the side of the Cricket Club which, although a major short cut and walk to school route, was a slutchy disgrace.
It looks a bit better now
Two birds with one stone - eh?
And saved the Council Taxpayer 60 grand.
Now that Fearneyside has been surfaced, it is due to be 'adopted by Bolton Council who will consider parking restrictions to ease the flow of traffic on this short but busy street.
