Cllr Kieran Quinn and David Heyes MP along with local residents affected by the Whistle Board

Earlier this year we told you how in September last year Network Rail installed boards instructing train drivers to sound their whistle as they approached the Littlemoss pedestrian crossing.

When Littlemoss residents contacted your Droylsden Labour team they explained how the noise was making their lives a misery.

After much pressure Network rail agreed to remove the whistle board. This happened on Sunday (April 10th).

We are pleased with this outcome however not as pleased as one of the affected residents who sent the message below.

Dear David, Kieran and Gary


You will be pleased to hear that on Sunday 10 April 2011 Network Rail placed a temporary sign to restrict speed to 40 on the far side of the Littlemoss bridge and have finally removed the whistleboard! It is heaven!


The last seven months have been very stressful and it was only the hope that this day might arrive that kept us going. Many thanks for all your assistance and support.

We were happy to help
