TRAFFORD residents will now be able to keep up to date with any road and street works in the borough.

Transport for Greater Manchester has launched an easy-to-search website providing information about road works throughout the whole of Greater Manchester.

The site will show the expected impact on traffic, how long the works are expected to last and contact details for the organisation carrying them out.

The website follows the launch of the Greater Manchester Road Activities Permits Scheme which aims to reduce traffic delays and improve coordination of activities across the county.
