It seems there’s some underlying fault with the streetlights, or the electricity supply to them, on “conker island” near Gatley Medical Centre – two of the lamps are out again! We’ve reported both and we’ll get in touch to say there may be more of an issue than a blown bulb – though I know […]

by Lib Dem team on 28 November, 2013

I’m never sure why it seems so difficult to get all the Christmas lights – the ones on lampposts – working properly. There have been a few out in Cheadle and Gatley. I’ve investigated and it seems to be an issue with the timers rather than the lights themselves; and I’ve been promised it will […]

Lights out on the Belmont Road passageway

by Lib Dem team on 12 January, 2013

The lights are out on the passageway from Belmont Road to South Park Road – and at least some of them have been out for a while. After we reported it, the Council investigated it and found the problem isn’t with the lamps themselves but the electricity feed.  That’s down to Electricity Northwest.  The Council […]

Stockport Lib Dems have secured new Christmas lights across the Borough for the coming years – we believe they’re an important part of Christmas and give a real boost for Christmas shopping. But the previous lights are getting old – some have been around for as much as nine years and it shows (particularly on […]
