For several months I’ve been working on a campaign to improve the traffic situation around Schools Hill and Broadway.  I’ve been asking residents in the area for their views on what can be done. A couple of people have contacted me, concerned that I might be proposing speed humps or similar traffic calming measures. The [...]

Just wanted to say thank you to the Bowmen of Bruntwood.  I took three kids along this morning for their training session.  The four of us had good tuition and successfully fired six arrows each into the targets. Then the kids had a great time playing in the play area – and all on a [...]

Several people have requested junction protection – i.e. double yellow lines – where Stonepail Road meets Church Road. Seems like a fair request.  Not only do vehicles parked right on the junction make it difficult to turn out safely, but elderly people can have problems crossing the road at the dropped kerb to get to [...]

Busy day today.  My son’s off watching Stockport County (not over yet but not looking good when I checked a few minutes ago).  We’ve been delivering our latest leaflet, with more news of what I’ve been up to. Good news: the pothole on Gatley Road opposite Springfield Road has been repaired after I contacted the [...]

Had a leaflet through the door advertising a farmers market in Heald Green that sounds well worth a visit. Promoted by the Lions and Beefeater, the market will be at The Beefeater, Finney Lane, Heald Green from 9am to 1pm on Sunday 30th August.

Following the move of the florist to Massie Street, there’s now a planning application (DC/042668) to convert the old premises at 19A High Street to an Ice Cream Parlour. You can see the plans online here and leave your comments, for or against, here.

A few days ago I reported several potholes along Gatley Green.  Glad to see these have now been marked up for repair.

Going around Gatley in the last couple of days, I see that lots of houses have received the flier for the Heald Green Theatre Company. No one in Gatley is more than five minutes drive from the theatre, just off Styal Road and literally a stone’s-throw from the ward boundary (Yew Tree Grove is in [...]
