There has been outrage over cars being parked 'dangerously' on streets in Leigh. Police said that 'inconsiderate' drivers had caused residents to complain after driveways were blocked and cars were left dumped on street corners.
Several drivers were handed tickets after the parking problems were reported, close to Leigh Sports Village. Police said many of the vehicles had been causing an obstruction or 'posing danger to pedestrians'.
Greater Manchester Police went on to share photos of the badly parked cars, some of which had been left on bends or at junctions, as they confirmed they would continue to monitor the problem. Residents shared their frustration at the scale of the problem during games and events at the sports village. On Sunday (January 15) Manchester United Women's team played Liverpool, prompting the heavy congestion on nearby streets.
