What better way to spend the Saturday evening before Christmas than driving around Cheadle and Gatley spotting faulty lights?
OK, I didn’t spend more than an hour before deciding a warm house was definitely preferable, but I picked up a few issues that I’ve passed onto the Council.
1. Christmas lights in Cheadle & Gatley
– The star outside Barclays Bank, Church Road in Gatley is still not working
– On Gatley Road, Cheadle the Christmas light outside Meadows Cycle Shop is not working.
– At the junction of Wilsmlow Rd and the High Street, the Christmas light outside the White Hart is not working
– On High Street, Cheadle the Christmas light outside Thomsons isn’t working
– On High Street, Cheadle the Christmas light outside the Royal Bank of Scotland isn’t working
– At the corner of Stockport Road and Manchester Road in Cheadle, the Christmas light isn’t working.
2. Streetlights in Cheadle
– Lamp 14 on Ashfield Road (south end) at the corner of Whitegates Road not working
– On the Massie Street (East) car park,Cheadle, the lamp nearest to M.J. Scott (in the north west corner of the car park) isn’t working.

– The lamp outside Costa Coffee, High Street, Cheadle isn’t working (though the Christmas lights on the same post are)
– The lamp outside Cheadle Library, Ashfield Road, in the centre of the parking bays, isn’t working.
3. Illuminated streetsigns in Cheadle and Gatley
– At the junction of Milton Crescent and Gatley Road, Cheadle there are four illuminated speed signs. Three are not lit.
– At the north end of Old Hall Street, Gatley, by the grass triangle there are four no entry signs, none of which are lit.
[…] On Saturday I reported quite a few faulty lights around Cheadle and Gatley. […]
Re: Faulty Streetlights and Roadsigns. All but one of the many roadsigns at the junction of South Park Road with the exit sliproad of the M60 leading to Kingsway southbound are not lit. There is always a problem with whether responsibility rests with the council or the Highways Agency. I have been in touch with both, but to no effect.
Lighting column no.9 on South Park Road has not been lit for ages. It is by the east end of the Kinsway Underpass.
Wensley road No 1 is out
Ashfield cresent Nos 2 and 3 are out
gatley road No6 is still out
Thanks Jerry, Nigel – I’ll check those out and chase them up with the Council.
Jerry – are the signs at the junction of Kingsway Southbound and slip road onto South park Road Estate lit now?
Other villages in the area have matched and tasteful Christmas lights, next year can we at least have all the Christmas lights the same and not the disappointing mix we have had in previous years?
Hi Penny. Which lights are you referring to?
