"An exciting future for Carrington," hails a huge sign overlooking a row of queuing traffic on the A6144.
But in the Trafford village best known as the home of Manchester United's training ground, not everyone is feeling quite so optimistic. Fed up residents say constant traffic and the sound of lorries thundering past their homes have made their lives a misery for years, and they have finally had enough.
"It never stops," said Sylvia Shelmerdine, who lives in Manchester Road. "The traffic is 24 hours a day.

"The lorries are one after another and they're doing 60mph. In the summer, you can't have the windows open. We can't sleep at night because of the traffic. The whole house shakes, it's terrible."
Ms Shelmerdine fears the pollution caused by the traffic and the number of industrial estates in the area is making her ill.
"I've been ill for 18 months," the 69-year-old explained. "If you talk to anyone round here they are all complaining about stinging eyes and croakiness.
"My husband and I are retired. We want to relax but we are so stressed with it all. I just want a good night's sleep. We have even had to stay in a B&B but we can't afford to keep doing that."
Like many locals, Ms Shelmerdine is resigned to the prospect of the congestion becoming worse before it gets any better.
A total of up to 5,000 new homes and 350,000sqm of warehouse space has been earmarked for Carrington as part of the controversial Places for Everyone masterplan, the successor of the ill-fated Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF).

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Euphoria” actor Barbie Ferreira opened up on the “Armchair Expert” podcast about exiting the Emmy-winning HBO series ahead of Season 3. Ferreira announced last August that she was moving on from “Euphoria” and would no longer star as Kat Hernandez. Her exit followed reports that she clashed with “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson during Season 2 due to the direction of her character. Fans noticed Kat’s storyline was sidelined in Season 2, and one rumor claimed she even walked off set during a fight with Levinson. “So, for me, when people ask me about Season 2, it’s usually they come at me with, like, I was some sort of victim to Season 2 and I’m always like, ‘No, it’s okay, promise. It’s good,'” Ferreira said on the podcast. “I kind of got sucked into this drama that I never asked to be in and that I’ve never talked about. I’m of the mindset that if it doesn’t exit I’m not going to address it because then I’m adding fuel to it. It’s taken on a life of its own. Don’t believe everything you read.”

During the "Weekend Update" segment with Colin Jost and Michael Che, things went awry when Jost's jokes were not well received by the audience.
During the April 1 edition of “Saturday Night Live”, Michael Che celebrated April Fool’s Day by pulling an epic prank on fellow Weekend Update anchor Colin Jost.

But as Jost levied each jab, his jokes were received with timid chuckles. After Jost concluded his portion of the banter, Che made another joke about the ex-president that resulted in uproarious laughter. Dismayed but not deterred, Jost pressed on with another joke. Following the punchline, an audience member shouted, “You stink!” which caused Jost’s head to immediately fall into his hands. No longer able to keep it together, Che erupted into laughter alongside the viewers, explaining to Jost he told the audience not to laugh at him as an April Fool’s Day prank.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Wendi McLendon-Covey said during a recent interview with Andy Cohen for SiriusXM that Jeff Garlin’s exit from “The Goldbergs” was “a long time coming.” The two comedians headlined the ABC sitcom from its 2013 debut until December 2021, when Garlin was fired from the show after a series of HR investigations into his alleged misconduct on set. “That was a long time coming,” McLendon-Covey said. “That it finally happened, it was like, ‘Ok, finally someone is listening to us. But that was kind of hard though because we had lost George Segal in real life. To have to go through another loss on a sitcom…you can’t keep asking your audience to mourn people. That’s not why they tune in.”
