Copies of the draft Order and relevant plan may be inspected at all reasonable hours during the 28 days commencing on 20 March 2003 at the offices of Salford City Council, Civic Centre, Chorley Road, Swinton and may be obtained, free of charge, from the Government Office for the North West (Transport) (quoting Ref GO/TNW 5085/35/1/124) at the address stated below.

Please bear in mind that any objections received will be passed to the applicant and other people affected by it, and those persons may contact the objector regarding the issues raised.
