Traffic fears at M6 store

Traffic heading to a huge sale in the Black Country will be monitored by police tomorrow to avoid a repeat of rush-hour delays on the M6.

PC World is holding a four-day sale at its newly renovated store close to Junction 9 at Wednesbury from 6am.

Last year the M6 was brought to a standstill when the nearby Currys store slashed prices.

A seven strong team of police officers will be patrolling tomorrow to keep traffic moving.

Inspector Akeel Najib of Wednesbury Police said: "I have spoken to the store and the area manager from PC World about the issue.

"We will be providing a sergeant and six officers officers to patrol the area and monitor traffic. The firm has assured us they will be putting on extra security staff in and out of store."

A total of 3,000 flocked to Currys on the Gallagher Retail Park last October.
