Metro forced to hand over £450 thousand for Town centre roads and paths

Saturday 25 February 2012


The journey to prepare and build the new Metro line through Droylsden has taken nearly 4 years and at time brought our town to a standstill.

During that time your local Councillors have met regularly with representatives from the Metro. On many occasions helping local people and businesses find solutions.

It is a fact that all the road work and diversions have put an additional burden on our roads. We have pressed the case for additional money to help pay for their repair.

We don’t accept that Droylsden should have to pay for this work, especially as it means roads outside the town centre could have to wait longer for improvements or indeed miss out.

The details need to be finalised but your Councillors have won the case for an extra £450k funding to improve roads and footpaths in and around the town centre.
