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 enquiries have been made by the Council, however we have been unable to ascertain the true legal owner(s) 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 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 on the ownership of the Section 228 Land should contact Simeon Jordan in writing at the address below (Telephone: 07876 790753) quoting reference SJ/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).

DATED this 31st July 2025

Mrs Janet Davies, Assistant Director – Legal, Governance and Elections Legal, Governance and Elections Division, Wigan Council, Town Hall, Library Street, Wigan WN1 1YN
