In Highways England\u2019s Delivery Plan for roads period 2015-2020 the M60 Junction 8 to M62 Junction 20 Smart Motorway Scheme was forecast to be open to traffic in quarter 2 of the 2017/18 financial year. In August 2017, Highways England published their Delivery Plan Update (Supplementary Annex) and the construction programme for this scheme was extended so that additional works including flood mitigation and pavement resurfacing could be completed under the existing restrictions. This will help avoid the need for future additional network access in this location. Highways England is opening the scheme in phases. Junction 18 \u2013 20 of the M62 and Junction 8 \u2013 10 of the M60 are now open.

\u2018Upskirting\u2019 is likely to be a covert act by perpetrators to avoid challenge or detection, so reporting numbers are likely to be low.<\/p>

However, for the rail network, the British Transport Police (BTP) has seen an increase in reports following the joint BTP / Transport for London (TfL) "Report it to stop it" campaign, which heightened awareness and increased victim confidence to report.<\/p>
