We write this as the police are on scene for a crash behind us at that part of the junction and the remnants of a Fiat remain at this part of the junction at the bottom of Palatine Road. How much longer before someone is seriously hurt at what is one of the most dangerous crossings in the UK?

Another serious collision in Northenden. This on Royle Green Road. Reports are of a speeding car but GMP Wythenshawe are yet to issue a statement. No news either on clean up plans. The lights are still ‘live’, there’s still lots of visible debris and children crossing for school today have done so without the extra help.
