Delay warning on fuel protest

DRIVERS have been warned about disruption on the roads because of a demonstration about fuel prices tomorrow.

Hundreds of protesters, mainly motor-cyclists but also some drivers, are expected to take part in a slow-moving convoy on the westbound M62, starting 9am at Hartshead Moor services in West Yorkshire.

It will then continue past Birch Services (near junction 19), on to the M60 and then from the Eccles interchange at junction 12 of the M60 on to the M602 towards Manchester.

Some demonstrators are then expected to leave the M602 at the roundabout with the A57 Regent Road and use the A5063 Trafford Road into Salford Quays.

The remaining demonstrators, controlled by a police convoy, will join Albion way from the M602 roundabout and head into Manchester city centre.

They will be escorted down Deansgate and the Mancunian Way, before heading to Salford Quays.

Drivers planning to use the route are advised to check traffic conditions before setting out or visit the Highways Agency website at www.highways.gov.uk/traffic
