Dear Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner, A photograph was taken on Barton Moss road showing the removal of a public footpath sign by officers from GMP. Please see: Under the Freedom of Information Act I request the following information: 1) Please can you advise me if GMP has evoked emergency powers to close the public Right of Way on Barton Moss Road? 2) I request a full disclosure of the communications requesting GMP to undertake the removal of the signpost.
