Following pressure from local Lib Dems, including Mark Hunter MP, the car park at Gatley Station is to be brought up to British Parking Association standards, with the bays repainted and better signage erected. We’ve been concerned that drivers have received parking tickets from Northern Rail (who run the car park) even though there are [...]

As in previous years, the Council is funding free parking across Stockport Borough in the run up to Christmas: The Council is giving motorists a festive boost with free Town Centre parking in all Council owned pay and display car parks and on-street pay and display bays on the following dates: Wednesdays from 9th November [...]

Cheadle Area Committee this evening approved plans for restricted parking (no parking between 10am and 4pm) outside the houses opposite the station on Cambridge Road, Gatley. This is because residents in those houses have had problems with their driveways being blocked so they’ve been sometimes unable to safely get in and out of their driveways. [...]

Please take a look at my previous posts on this subject for the background details. The result of the [...]

Following concern from residents who contacted Pam, myself and Cllr Burns in Heald Green, councillors had an emergency discussion on Tuesday about the parking problems on St Ann’s Road North (see Google map). As I wrote a few days ago, this is a problem that’s only emerged in the last six or seven weeks. For [...]

For some months Pam and I have been working with residents on a residents’ parking scheme for Hall Street, Ernest Street and Crescent Road in Cheadle (behind St Marys Church). Residents asked for the scheme some time ago. The area is all terraced Victorian houses and, because it’s close to the village centre, people often [...]

At the request of Pam King, residents on Ashfield Road were consulted on amendments to the yellow lines on Ashfield Road and Ashfield Crescent.
