'I just want a good night's sleep': The 'one horse town' where houses shake in the night
"An exciting future for Carrington," hails a huge sign overlooking a row of queuing traffic on the A6144.
"I've been ill for 18 months," the 69-year-old explained. "If you talk to anyone round here they are all complaining about stinging eyes and croakiness. As part of the plan, a new road will also be built through the middle of New Carrington - the name given to the enormous new community - to by-pass Carrington and divert traffic away from the village. While the relief road has been welcomed by locals, they want it to come sooner.
"This is a one horse town," she explained. "It's just dead, there's nothing here. We've lived here 33 years and we've never had a shop. We need shops, a health centre, a school. "You can't stop progress," she explained. "The house building is happening everywhere. You've got to build houses and they are needed. I don't know if it will be better or worse for the area though."It would be handy to have a little shop for the community though. If you want a pint of milk, you have to get on the bus to Partington or Urmston."
"I don't mind the houses as long as they leave the greenery and trees where they are," said one woman.
