Bury Council have denied claims made by one of the town’s MPs that they plan to reduce one of the major roads in the town centre to a single lane in each direction.
In a recent newsletter, Bury North MP James Daly said a section in the council’s Bury town centre masterplan suggested what he termed a ‘ridiculous’ plan to narrow Angouleme Way to one lane in each way in order to increase spaces for cyclists and pedestrians.

Bury Labour accused Mr Daly of ‘scaremongering’ and said he had ‘plucked one of many illustrative examples of what Bury town centre might look like 15 to 20 years from now to scare residents into thinking the council is making immediate and drastic changes’.
The controversial section of the town centre masterplan is under the section ‘Reconfiguration of Southern Ring Road’. It states: “The masterplan proposes a comprehensive transformation of the southern half of the ring road including Angouleme Way, Jubilee Way and Derby Way in response to Greater Manchester’s Streets For All agenda.
