Metrolink tram stop neighbours 'under siege' after fire alarm blares 'all night'

Residents have been left fuming over an alarm at a tram stop repeatedly blaring over 'several weeks' - including overnight. The fire alarm, at Radcliffe Metrolink station, has been reported to the council and Transport for Greater Manchester, according to those living nearby.

It is understood that the fire alarm has been set off deliberately on numerous occasions, but has also been experiencing a fault which has been causing it to ring out.

Gaynor Clarkson, who has been struggling to concentrate working from home due to the noise, reported the racket to Bury council for the first time on May 19. Seven weeks on, she says the alarm has finally been put to a stop after she was visited by environmental health officers on Monday.
