Manchester Road Closed After Protesters Climb on Top of Lorry (2026)

Manchester Road Closed: Protesters Take Action, Disrupting Bus Services

In a bold display of activism, two protesters have taken a stand by climbing onto a lorry and splashing it with red paint on Greeba Road in Wythenshawe. This action has led to the road's closure, causing significant disruption to local bus services. The police and firefighters are on the scene, and a cordon has been put in place to ensure public safety.

The protest is believed to be related to the Greater Manchester Friends of Palestine group, who have posted details on their X account. The transport and logistics company DSV has an air sea road unit on Greeba Road, which may be affected by the protest.

The Bee Network has confirmed that the closure is due to an 'ongoing non-transport related incident'. They have warned that the following bus services may experience disruptions and delays: 245, 247, 248, 249, 263, 281, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 313, 370, and 371.

Greater Manchester Police have been contacted for further details, and our live blog will provide the latest updates on this incident as they unfold.

Stay tuned for more information as this story develops.
