M62 - Your Local History
A lot of finds were uncovered during the archaeological evaluation carried out for the M62 Junction 6 Improvement scheme so we thought it would be nice to provide an interactive website so you can see what we found.

Road Worker Safety - Strategic Plan
Our Strategic Aims
Building on our successful 'Strategy for Action' launched during 2006, we will continually review working practices to reduce risks to road workers. This will specifically include:
- Establish the mechanisms for the regular use of speed control through road works on short term and overnight works by Spring 2010.
- Achieve a substantial reduction in the need for workers to cross live carriageways on foot by the end of 2011.
Working with leading organisations, we will seek to improve driver behaviour through road works, especially the use of excessive speed, to reduce incidents and improve traffic flow, thereby reducing risks to workers.
We will take steps to improve the communication of road worker safety initiatives and the sharing of best practice, working through leading professional groups and organisations in our supply chain, so that all stakeholders can contribute to improving road worker safety and work together to drive improvements.
