Councillor rages over road risks

Call for urgent action on 'borough's most dangerous route'

- JAMES HOLT

AN outraged councillor has made an urgent call for speed and traffic calming measures to be introduced to a troubled road in Greater Manchester.

A petition has been launched by Middleton councillor Dylan Williams over a spate of recent collisions on Grimshaw Lane, at Middleton Junction, as he raised issue with the lack of safety crossings, lighting and cameras.

Coun Williams blasted drivers that use the road as a 'racing track, resulting in 'multiple serious crashes' as he warned of future deaths if measures are not taken.
