Picturesque British countryside town 'ruined by Wacky Races' traffic, locals say
26.12.2022 - 21:43 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The local residents of a picturesque town hidden away in the British countryside say there is a huge downside to living there which is only getting worse. Thriving Littleborough is surrounded by wild moorland and charming hills, making it an ideal setting for cycling, scenic walks and horse riding.
The quaint Rochdale town which boasts a variety of its own independent businesses, bars and restaurants is also only a short train ride away from Manchester, the Mirror reports.
But despite the many perks of living in Littleborough, locals say the area is 'ruined' by one major ongoing issue - the chaotic traffic. Around 13,800 people live in the town and residents have compared the extreme traffic to 'Wacky Races'.
Resident Jacqueline Tomasso said: "Everyone is extremely friendly. We’ve got lots of small shops and we’ve got supermarkets.
"If you’re fit, there are loads of walks and activities. There are all sorts of community groups so you can go and do knitting or technology. There’s loads going on.
But the 76-year-old said there is one major issue in the town that lets it down. She explained: "It’s like Wacky Races here.
"You get nutcases flying up and down the main road like idiots. The speeding has got worse but it’s always been very busy."
Beryl Sweeney added that traffic isn't the only issue at hand with new houses also ruining the town in her opinion. The 80-year-old explained she previously protested against the construction of new developments.
She said: "I do like it. There’s more to it than you realise.
"There are so many walking routes, the only trouble is they’re building that many houses and ruining it. The road is busy, but when they build hundreds of houses it’s going to be a nightmare."

UK music consumption up again, as British artists fill top ten of 2022
Music consumption in the UK was up again in 2022 – or so says record industry trade group BPI in its customary end-of-year stats pack focused on how much music was streamed by and sold to British consumers in the last twelve months.Based on its crunching of Official Charts Company data, the BPI reckons that 159.3 billion audio streams occurred on digital music platforms in the UK last year, up 8.2% on 2021. This means that, in the average week, more than three billion audio streams are being played by British consumers across the various music services. Good times.If you do the magical (and only slightly mysterious) maths that equates streams to album sales, streaming accounted for 86.1% of recorded music sales last year, in terms of units rather than cash through the till.
