THE Cooling Lane bus stop between Holden Road and Tyldesley on the guided busway provides well-lit access along a newly laid wide footpath for Higher Folds residents.

Sadly for those of us wishing to access the bus stop from Squires Lane we are faced with a 50-metre walk along an unlit, muddy, narrow footpath.

I would not recommend any female takes this option after dark.

Are the authorities going to offer us the same facilities as those leading to Higher Folds?
