Misleading sign, 24th January

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 14:41:47 +0000
53.499545 -2.658342

There are currently roadworks at this location. At approximately where I have marked there is a construction access gap in the temporary barriers. There is also a sign indicating “A49 Wigan” at the exact same spot. This is causing those unfamiliar with the area to turn into the roadworks in the belief that this is the exit. I have witnessed it twice now and it happened to friends visiting us just now too. Can you please get this little blue sign moved. Thank you

53.501541 -2.65881

Hello, is it possible to have the very large trees around my property cut back, reduced in height as they block all the light on to my house. I have reported this issue a number of times over the years and eventually somebody has come and pruned the trees, but the trees have now grown even bigger and thicker than before. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. Kind Regards Ken Davies - 249 Downall Green Road, Bryn, Ashton in Makerfield
