Ask Lancashire County Council to review the road markings at the M61 Junction
The Issue
Are the new lane markings different to what was there previously?
I think so, however Reform led LCC say that 'nothing has changed'
It is over 2 weeks since I wrote to the County Councillor for the area and the Cabinet Member for Highways at Lancashire County Council (both Reform) to tell them that I think these new markings are different to what was there before and that there now seems to be a conflict with the markings and signage on the approach to the roundabout as you leave Chorley.
I asked if they could please look into as a matter of urgency. I have had no reply, not even an acknowledgement.
Please sign if you agree with me and think that this needs looking at.
