Residents bid to halt traffic chaos

Concerned Delph residents are being encouraged to unite next week in the aim of putting an end to the traffic chaos that the village suffers daily.

Councillor Ken Hulme has arranged a meeting, to be held at Delph Band Club on Monday for locals to discuss possible solutions to combat increasingly dangerous traffic blackspots in the village.

He said: “People have approached me and told me that near Millgate and the library they are taking their lives into their own hands trying to negotiate the traffic.

“Lorries are coming up on pavements, cars are speeding through the village and people feel like they are being told by the council that they just have to live with it — but something has to be done.”

All are welcome to thrash out any suggestions aiming to improve the traffic woes at the meeting starting at 8pm.
