'Stupidest idea I've heard in long time'
Manchester Evening News|November 06, 2024
ALTHOUGH exact details of the proposed ‘one-way system’ and other measures in Ramsbottom have yet to be released by Bury Council, it’s fair to say that business owners and shoppers have already formed early opinions.
'Stupidest idea I've heard in long time'

Stephen and Louise Coombes run Traditional Sweets and Gifts of Ramsbottom on Bridge Street.

Stephen said: “We’ve heard of the plans and to be honest it’s hard to think how a one way system will make things better and it could very well lead to chaos and mean traffic backing up on other roads.

“It’s not ideal but a lot of HGVs need access to the town centre.

“From what I hear it could be one way going up Bridge Street from the railway station up to Bolton Street and then one way coming down Kay Brow leading onto Railway Street.

“Kay Brow is awkward at the best of times, it only takes a bit of ice or snow and it gets closed off at the top.

“I just have difficulty seeing how it would improve matters.”

Shopper Rick Pilkington, 54, lives in the town – and slammed the idea.

He said: “I think a one-way system is the stupidest idea I’ve heard in a long time.
