A raging motorist has hit out at council bosses after it emerged they raked in almost a million pounds in fines in just eight months from a bus lane on one town centre street.
General traffic was banned from the stretch of Heaton Lane which runs between the A6 Wellington Road North and Travis Brow in Stockport last February with only buses, cyclists and licensed taxis now allowed through.
Cameras are in place with £60 fines, reduced to £30 if paid within a fortnight, being issued to anyone caught passing through the ‘bus gate.’
