This comes shortly after the launch of Operation Classify, aimed at reducing death and serious injury on the roads in Bolton.

According to GMP, the borough saw 71 serious collisions in 2022, with nine fatalities, with the trend continuing into 2023.

The force says excessive speeding, as well as drink and drug driving, and poor driver standards have been the main key causes of road traffic collisions in the area.
