Picturesque British countryside town 'ruined by Wacky Races' traffic, locals say

The local residents of a picturesque town hidden away in the British countryside say there is a huge downside to living there which is only getting worse. Thriving Littleborough is surrounded by wild moorland and charming hills, making it an ideal setting for cycling, scenic walks and horse riding.

The quaint Rochdale town which boasts a variety of its own independent businesses, bars and restaurants is also only a short train ride away from Manchester, the Mirror reports.

But despite the many perks of living in Littleborough, locals say the area is 'ruined' by one major ongoing issue - the chaotic traffic. Around 13,800 people live in the town and residents have compared the extreme traffic to 'Wacky Races'.
