Greater Manchester Police has released calls made to emergency service operators, asking for help with maggots and parking spaces. The shocking interactions between police staff and callers were released in order to highlight the sometimes ridiculous ways in which the 999 line was used. One woman called the emergency line because the council wouldn't come out to clear maggots from her bin and she was concerned this would cause friction with her neighbours.
Another man rang in because someone took what he perceived to be 'his' parking space.
GMP have made these available to stress the importance of only calling 999 in real emergencies, and not tying up operators with non-police problems. Report by Louise Hulland.
