A number of drivers in Bolton have been reported after a police crackdown.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers have been out near the town centre on patrol to deter car crime and reassure residents they were dealing with traffic offences.
Motorists were given a number of traffic offence reports (TOR) for allegedly parking in bus lanes, zig zag areas and around crossings.
A GMP spokesman said: "After noticing the work the Rumworth neighbourhood team have been conducting on Deane Road in relation to traffic offences, PC Wilson has been out on 18/02/2024 conducting high visibility patrols and engaging with the public to improve the driving standards in the area.

"PC Wilson has issued a number of traffic offence reports to drivers parking in bus lanes- on zig zag areas around crossings and has also spoken to a number of drivers to educate them on the hazards they present within this busy area of Bolton.
"Addressing poor driving standards is a priority within the communities of Bolton. If you would like to have a say on policing in your community, look out for the next PACT meeting in your local area."
