From the Council:

Water mains improvements affecting roads in Bramhall village centre will be carried out during the school summer holiday. Stockport Council has worked closely with United Utilities (UU) to schedule the work during the holiday period when there is less traffic, and to minimise the impact on local businesses and motorists. Warning signs will alert motorists to the work and houses and businesses have received leaflets. The work starts on Monday 26th July. The work will be carried out in three phases:

· Phase 1, from July 26th for 2 weeks: Temporary two way traffic lights on Ack Lane East in the direction of Moss Lane.

· Phase 2 from August 9th and every day for 2 weeks: Temporary four way traffic lights at the junction of Ack Lane East, Moss Lane, Woodford Road and Bramhall Lane South. During the first week Syddal Road at the junction of Woodford Road with be closed and a local diversion will be in operation. Excavation work takes place 7 days a week on the water main beneath the mini roundabout. UU staff will be on site to alter traffic light timings to reflect demand throughout the day. During the work, pedestrian islands at the junctions of Ack Lane East with Bramhall Lane South and Woodford Road, and Moss Lane with Ack Lane East will be removed to help traffic flows. Improvements to the Moss Lane island will be made when reinstated.

· Phase 3, August 23rd until the end of the month: Temporary two way traffic lights on Woodford Road away from Syddal Road junction towards the A555.

There is likely to be further work on Moss Lane and possibly Woodford Road, to take place either during September or future school holiday periods.
