Shoppers were reportedly trapped trying to exit a retail park in Trafford for up to two hours on Sunday (August 6) with others reportedly 'abandoning their cars' out of frustration.
Pictures taken from Trafford Retail Park, Barton Road, showed scores of vehicles snaking around the car park in chaotic scenes that one shopper likened to being 'worse than Christmas'.
