Have your say to improvements on Market Street, Farnworth
Bolton Council is making public realm and transport improvements along Market Street, including improved footways, new pedestrian crossings, and better cycling routes, as well as more trees and green space.
Since we consulted with you on changes to pedestrian, cycle and car access through Farnworth Town Centre in 2023, we’ve updated our design for the junction of Market Street and King Street, allowing for improved safety and easier use by all users of the junction. As this is a change to what we proposed in 2023, we’re asking for your feedback on the junction design.
What does the new design include?
The new design now includes crossings on all arms of the junction, in accordance with the latest design standards for junctions in Greater Manchester, and has been driven by additional modelling we have done since the consultation, working closely with Transport for Greater Manchester to understand how the proposed changes will impact buses and cars.
