The site is on the edge of the Demmings Industrial Estate, near to Brookfield Road and Demmings Road. There will be a public display of the proposals at the Cheadle Golf Club [...]

La Cucina in Cheadle has applied to change its licence – to extend the hours of operation to 1.30am each day. Local residents have been concerned of the impact of music being played and alcohol served that late into the night, and the Lib Dems have worked with residents to ensure their concerns are properly [...]
