Dear Greater Manchester Police,
Can you please advise how many times roads in Atherton, Tyldesley, Leigh & Astley have needed to be closed due to incidents in the last 3 years.
Can you also advise separately how many times roads in Standish have been closed due to incidents in the last 3 years.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Bowen

our ref: GSA 5584/12

I write in connection with your request for information dated 20 December
2012, which was received by Greater Manchester Police on 20 December 2012.
 I note you require access to the following information:

As per email below

Your request will now be considered in accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (the Act). You will receive a response within the
statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act, subject to
the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a third
party.
In some circumstances Greater Manchester Police may be unable to achieve
this deadline.  If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised
time-scale at the earliest opportunity.
There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of
