GMC must rethink bottleneck

MANCHESTER Policy Committee wants the Greater Manchester County Council to have further thoughts on its plans for dealing with the Moss Side bottleneck.

The Committee is against a scheme for a new dual carriageway in a cutting which residents claim will permanently divide the community. It is suggested the county should prepare a new plan using the existing Princess Road for traffic heading out of the city and build a new carriageway for incoming traffic. Pedestrians would cross the ground-level road by pelican crossings instead of by the three footbridges proposed by the GMC.

The policy committee made its decision after a warning that neither the GMC nor the Department of Transport would be likely to accept a scheme which would not cope with the traffic expected in 1986.
