Default 'Vigi-plant-es': LTN planters help police catch driver who failed to stop

Those pesky LTNs helping the police catch criminals...We hear a lot from anti-LTN groups about planters supposedly slowing down emergency service vehicles, but these planters did the opposite and helped catch a driver who failed to stop. Ironically, the chase happened in Levenshulme where a couple of weeks back the very same planters were being targeted by vandals who filmed themselves ramming them off the road. What a great comeback story...

Greater Manchester Police Traffic's Twitter post explained: "The very brief pursuit was brought to a safe conclusion thanks to these planters which have recently been placed in the roads around Levenshulme."

Streets for People, a community campaign group who helped repair the vandalised planters, replied to the post: "Great to see the new active neighbourhood already helping make Levenshulme safer!"

This vehicle failed to stop for #XT48, the very brief pursuit was brought to a safe conclusion thanks to these planters which have recently been placed in the roads around Levenshulme. Vehicle seized and no doubt will go unclaimed and be crushed #RPUEAST #DRELIEF
