As of this morning, the speed signs are up and working on Schools Hill – they flash when a vehicle approaches too fast, but not when it’s within the speed limit. Keith and Iain went to take a look, and both signs seem to be working correctly. We’re very glad the signs have gone in, [...]

Residents of Warren Avenue, Cheadle have been asking for double yellow lines to replace the existing restrictions near the junction with Gatley Road.

Councillors have approved plans to enhance Gatley Green – full details of the proposals are here. The plans include blocking off the cut-through road.

The other roads we checked (e.g. Troutbeck and Keswick) are passable – they’ll be gritted if needed. There are a couple of [...]

The proposals for improving Gatley Green have been through a second consultation, and I think are greatly improved as a result. The main improvements are Blocking off the cut-through section to bring the whole Green together.  This has been supported by around 80% of local residents around the Green and we believe it will enhance [...]
