Wigan, Highway Adoption Intent & Temporary Closure For Development
What is happening?
WIGAN COUNCIL
Notice to Unknown Owner(s)
Intention to Request Wigan Borough Council
Apply Section 228 of the Highways Act 1980,
in Relation to a Pedestrian Ramp Linking Upton Road to Broadway, Atherton Following the Carrying out of Street Works
Wigan Borough Council HEREBY GIVES NOTICE that it intends to carry out street works on the pedestrian ramp linking Upton Road with Broadway.
The land and ramp are not registered with the Land registry and searches have been made by the Council, however we have been unable to ascertain the true legal ownership of that part of the street.
It is the Council’s intention to exercise its statutory notice procedure under Section 228 of the Highways Act 1980 with a view to adopting such part of the street as is not currently adopted, so that part of Upton Road/Broadway will become a highway maintainable at the public expense.
Any person who believes he/she/they are the true owner(s) or has/have any information as to the ownership of that section 228 Land should contact Simeon Jordan in writing at the address below (Telephone: 07786 707593) quoting reference S/164387, no later than 28th August 2025. A copy of the notice and plans may be inspected at Wigan Town Hall during normal office hours 9am to 5pm (excluding Saturday and Sundays).
