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.

Tourism
Tourists and people travelling for leisure purposes can also help themselves by making * 'Smarter travel choices' in their travel arrangements. For example :
- encouraging holidaymakers and visitors to attractions to use coaches and rail rather than cars;
- when making journeys by car, we advise holidaymakers to use the 'Transport Direct' journey planner website to help them to avoid peak congestion times;
- working with Tourist Boards and Councils to provide travel information for tourists;
- to work with the industry on the implementation of leisure/tourism travel plans at specific attractions and destinations, with the aim of improving travel choices for visitors.
* 'Smarter travel choices' are techniques for influencing people's travel behaviour towards more sustainable options such as encouraging school, workplace and individualised travel planning. They also seek to improve public transport and promote services such as travel awareness campaigns, setting up websites for car share schemes, supporting car clubs and encouraging teleworking.
