Residents living close to the site of a freight train derailment have been told they will not be able to cross their own road until safety works are completed in the summer.

Nine train wagons came off the tracks in Audenshaw, Greater Manchester, on 6 September, resulting in one person suffering minor injuries.

Work in the area has meant families living nearby can no longer walk under a bridge near Sidmouth Street

They described taking detours of a minimum 10 minutes as “a real nuisance” for elderly people.
