"Wealthy Trafford needs to wake up to traffic congestion"
So, the Local Government Association has woken up and is seeking extra power to tackle traffic congestion.
Councils could use byzantine traffic regulation orders to curb vehicle obstruction but due to red tape cannot be bothered hence the phrase 'streets paved with gold' or rather motor vehicles waiting for parking tickets.
Manchester is finally getting agitated as population increases and public transport costs rocket.
Tameside uses lateral thinking by abolishing pavements to assist vehicle movement whereas Rochdale allows parking anyhow everywhere, motorists almighty!
In wealthy Trafford, the message is carry on congesting as gridlock is a problem that concerns only local police.
