St. Ann’s Road North parking problems update

We’ve reported a couple of times recently on the parking issues on St. Ann’s Road North – that some cars from the Cheadle Royal Business Park have started parking on St. Ann’s Road North, cause problems for residents. At Cheadle Area Committee yesterday we received a report from Council officers looking at what can be [...]

Yellow lines for Daylesford Rd/Schools Hill junction

At Cheadle Area Committee yesterday we gave the go-ahead for double yellow lines on Daylesford Road by the junction with Schools Hill, to keep the junction clear of parked cars – especially at school dropping off and collecting times. On the south west side (the odd numbers) the double yellow lines will extend in front [...]

Stockport roads and pavements scheduled for repair this year

The document below shows the money Stockport Council is spending on its capital transport programme in 2011/12. That’s things like big pavement and road resurfacing.

A photo of old Cheadle – but what’s the date?

I came across this photo of Cheadle village, with the White Hart on the left. Not sure on the date though. I’d guess late Victorian as there’s a horse-drawn omnibus and no tram tracks, but do you know better? From Cheadle and Gatley history

Scouts promise day at Abney Hall Park

Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers gathered at Abney Hall Park today to renew their promises around a blazing campfire as wind and rain vied with the sunshine.  Our two local groups (1st Gatley and 2nd Cheadle) were both there along with groups from Heald Green and Cheadle Hulme. As well as the promise renewal and [...]

As always, it’s open to everyone to come along and participate and we encourage people to do just that. Unfortunately, the agenda doesn’t seem to have been [...]

A greener Stockport: how well is the Council doing

This is the fourth and last of a short series of posts summarising how the council believes its doing in meeting its objectives. It’s a summarised version of a public report, which itself is a summary of hundreds of pages of reports, backed up by data, looking at every aspect of the 600+ services we [...]
