As the state of the junction of Borrowdale Avenue and Gainford Avenue in Gatley has once again deteriorated, the Lib Dems have secured repairs to go in. Temporary repairs will be completed in the next few days to make the roads safe, with permanent repairs scheduled for the next couple of months. The residential junction’s [...]

Despite action being taken several times to tackle flooding at the bottom of Schools Hill, we are seeing problems again. The Lib Dems have raised the issue with the Council, and officers have been out on site to take a look. Despite being cleared just a few months ago, the gully has already silted up [...]

A little while ago we reported that the campaign Keith’s run with local residents to get a puffin crossing on Schools Hill looked to have been successful – we had a verbal agreement from Sainsbury’s to fund the new crossing. We’re pleased to announce that that’s now been confirmed in writing. We don’t yet have [...]

We reported recently that the Lib Dem team had got agreement from the Council to resurface Gatley Hill – one of a number of roads around the area that will be resurfaced in whole or part over the next few months. We’re glad to report that the Gatley Hill resurfacing has been done, and it [...]

Following Lib Dem pressure, it has been confirmed that Gatley Hill will be properly resurfaced over the next few months. Gatley Hill is in desperate need of repair. We did get potholes fixed a couple of years ago, but they’re back again and need to be sorted. We’re very glad that the Council will now [...]

Following complaints about blocked gullies, the Lib Dems have been working on a scheme to get them sorted on Hall Street and Ernest Street in Cheadle, and on some other roads with a similar problem. Because these roads are constantly parked up, gully cleaning is very difficult – the people come along with their machines [...]

We’re very glad that the campaign Keith has run with local residents to get a proper puffin crossing on Schools Hill looks to be successful, with Sainsbury’s verbally agreeing to fund the crossing. Keith and I had a near miss on the crossing that shows just why we need to replace it. We were on [...]

Thank you to everyone who supported the campaign to get a puffin crossing to replace the existing zebra crossing on Schools Hill. After two bad accidents last year, Keith has been working with local residents to secure it. As part of Sainsbury’s expansion of their store at Cheadle Royal, they have to pay money for [...]

The Kingsway junction is never going to meet modern standards. It’s one of the busiest junctions in Greater Manchester, built 50 years ago when there was, to say the least, not quite so much traffic on the roads. To bring it up to modern standards, you’d have to knock down at least 17 houses (don’t [...]

The A555 Relief Road, with a target completion date of 2017, will take a lot of traffic away from our busy town and village centres and bring jobs and economic development to the area. But it’s not just drivers who are set to benefit. The new plans include a separate, wide path for cyclists and [...]
