IT was nice to read in last week's Guardian that the firms of Jack Richards and James Lynch have promised not to use Birches Lane and Station Road.

It is a pity other haulage firms don't think the same namely Curbishleys, Tilcon, New Cheshire Salt, who all use it as a short cut and not only while Griffiths Road is closed.
