NOTWITHSTANDING the environmental issues, the M65 motorway's recent completion has been marred by the daily snarl-up at Junction 4 with the A666 at Earcroft, Darwen. For about 100 yards, the A666 runs into five lanes which simply causes 'bunching.'
The junction is also controlled by traffic lights which are both badly timed and wrongly sequenced. There is enough room there for a roundabout, so why not build one and remove the tailbacks?
