The following links are to the ‘Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) – reported road accidents’ web page and the interactive map, which shows all reported injury accidents and locations within Tameside and Greater Manchester.

The authority is aware that ‘damage only’ and ‘near misses’ do go unreported. The only means used to assess junctions and roads accurately is based on actual injury accidents which are reported through the Greater Manchester Police.

The information given on the interactive map is only basic information. Because of the sensitive nature of some accidents data, certain fields may lead to the individuals involved being identified. Such data could contravene the Data Protection Act and is considered exempt under the Freedom of Information Act and as such is omitted from the site.
