Popped into your @Morrisons Openshaw branch this evening.
Blocked from getting your promo prices. Told by a disinterested checkout person that I have to install an app or write to head office for a card! Ended up walking out. Not great for people without a smart phone. @WhichUK
Saturday saw the 1st of many “Days of Action" on #MostonLane. A multi-agency approach by our Harpurhey Neighbourhood Policing Team & partner agencies to tackle issues you raised eg ASB, street drinking, begging & parking offences. Enforcement will continue over the coming months.
"Going to see a mechanic", "being new to the area", and, "your wife being under a black magic spell", are not valid reasons for going through no entry signs ⛔

The fixed penalty is £100 fine +3 points. S.
The driver of this van said he "didn't see" the 2 x no entry signs & no entry painted on the road, as he drove the wrong way down #BaywoodStreet.

This car caught the attention of one of our @GMPSpecials this evening after he saw it being driven along #HydeRoad with no lights on.
