Manchester Road Closure: Protesters on a Lorry Spark Disruption
A busy Manchester road has been shut down this morning due to a protest, causing significant disruption for local residents and commuters. The scene is near the Wythenshawe bus depot, where two protesters have taken a stand by climbing onto a lorry splattered with red paint.
The police and firefighters have arrived at the scene, establishing a cordon to ensure public safety. The protest appears to be a non-transport-related incident, with the protesters believed to be associated with the Greater Manchester Friends of Palestine group.
This closure has already impacted local bus services, including the 245, 247, 248, 249, 263, 281, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 313, 370, and 371 routes, as confirmed by the Bee Network. The road remains closed on the Roundthorn Industrial Estate, and the police are urging the public to avoid the area.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story, as the authorities work to resolve the situation and restore normalcy to the area.
