A man whose beloved dog was killed in a hit and run in Ancoats earlier this month is calling for improved road markings and speed control in the area - and says he feels 'on edge' every time he takes his other dogs for walks now.
Jason Butterfield moved to Ancoats just four months ago with his partner and three dogs. But on 5 August, his miniature schnauzer Marcello was hit by a car whilst out for a walk in the city centre neighbourhood - something he feels wouldn't have happened if drivers were forced to be more cautious on the narrow streets.

Manchester City Council say they 'aware' of the issues, and have recently installed new signage and road markings in the area.
