Knutsford (town) has its own web site

Planning applications were applied for a new site at junction 22 about 14 miles north. Everyone acknowledged that the traffic levels (around 100,000 vehicles per day) was enough to justify further facilities, particularly given the long distance nature of much of that traffic and that the nearest existing services- Knutsford and Charnock Richard - were rather undersized and had no room to expand. However, the Secretary of state threw out the proposals, leaving plans in disarray

A UFO sighting near Knutsford services is described in detail on this web site- is it a UFO, or something else?

The Northbound site currently has a 5 Star Loo of the year Award 2003 along with 33 others in the road transport category. (find best loos overall)

after working there for 3 years, id recommend you eat your tyres instead of stopping in to eat the food on offer. plus you have to pay the price of your tyres for a sandwich and a drink anyway.18/08/2007 22:33:45
