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.

Summer Getaway

Get Ready for Summer

Are you planning a holiday or short break in England, or planning to go to see the Olympic Torch relay or one of the events taking place as part of the Olympic or Paralympic Games this summer?  If so, then it's a good idea to give some thought to the journey.
 
Holiday getaways are often made up of longer, unfamiliar journeys, so we are encouraging drivers to be prepared and help themselves to avoid unnecessary delays where they can, and make it a safer and more pleasurable journey. 

The holiday begins before the moment you close the front door, so put aside some time to plan your journey before you set off. Also remember that checking your vehicle is ready for the drive could make a difference to your holiday experience.

Whether you are going to the Games or not, you will need to be aware that some routes will be busier than usual while the Games are on.  You can find out more about planning a journey on our roads during the Olympic and Paralympic Games by going to our get ahead of the Games page.
