Ainsworth Village A PEDESTRIAN crossing could be installed on a busy village road. Residents living in Ainsworth are being asked for their views on the proposals as part of the Safe Streets Save Lives initiative. The village has been chosen as one of five separate new controlled crossings throughout Bury. The sites chosen are key locations across the borough where residents have specifically requested such facilities should be considered for introduction following an online “Common Place” public consultation exercise this time last year. A number of villagers have for some time called for traffic calming measures to be installed on the road, saying that cars can often race down the road.

There is much debate about whether the rapid expansion of recent decades will continue, not just in Manchester, but in cities around the world as we readjust.
Will fewer people want to live in high-rise, high-density areas and prefer the suburbs? Are the days of huge offices filled with hundreds of employees numbered now that many businesses have successfully operated with staff working from home?
