Greater Manchester’s ten boroughs meet each other at every turn, and the M60 orbital ties them together. M postcodes cover Manchester, Salford and parts of Trafford; BL covers Bolton and Bury; OL, SK, WN and WA cover the rest.

Salford’s western side, around Worsley, Walkden and Irlam, sits close to the M60, M61 and M62 interchange. Bolton’s western edge, around Horwich, sits under the moors by the M61.

Salford and the western boroughs

Worsley, Walkden, Irlam and Cadishead are mostly residential, with plenty of driveways. Irlam and Cadishead are reached on the A57 and M62. Kerbside collection is straightforward on most streets.

Bolton and the north

Bolton has its own page on this site. Horwich and Westhoughton sit off the M61. Further north and east, Bury, Rochdale and Oldham are covered in the same way.
