Met Office

Up to 45 per cent of AA members surveyed said they will likely drive this August bank holiday weekend, averaging 50-60 miles a day.

This equates to around 16 million drivers on the roads on what will be a packed weekend of leisure and sporting events, says the AA.

The largest event in the area this bank holiday is Creamfields which stradles the M56 corridor around Daresbury, the festival attracts 60,000 people a day over the weekend and will add a little something extra to M56 motoring.

What ever you are doing, have a great weekend.
