Atherton coverage and response times

Atherton sits on the A577 between Leigh and Bolton, with the A580 East Lancs Road and the M61 close at hand, so a driver can usually reach you within 30 minutes. Tyldesley and Leigh are minutes away, Bolton and Wigan a short run either side, and the M61 and M60 give fast direct drives into Manchester and across the North West.
