We’ve been raising concerns about the state of the footpath from Gatley Hill car park to the Scout Hut for some time and I’m glad to say that the footpath is to be resurfaced next week, during half term. As the path is used by lots of children attending the pre-school, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts […]

The travellers who’ve been on the playing fields behind Grange Park Road for a little over two weeks left the site this morning (Wednesday), ahead of the court-granted eviction notice due to come into force at 1pm. I went to the fields at lunchtime, arriving soon after they’d gone. Two caravans had been left (possibly […]

Around 30 Gatley residents and traders met at Roasted on Silverdale Road on Wednesday night to brainstorm about ways to improve the village. The evening was expertly organised by the Gatley Village Partnership and I was there as resident and councillor to help out. The aim of the evening was to come up with deliverable […]

Note: see latest update here: Travellers in court on Tuesday 13th May. On Sunday a group of travellers (6-7 caravans along with a mechanical digger, truck and other vehicles) moved onto the playing fields behind Grange Park Road, Cheadle.

Our new Bruntwood Park BMX track opens on 5th April and there’s already a BMX Club set up to join if you want to get involved – or you can just come along on the day and have a ride round.

The plants are all for the people of Cheadle to harvest, when their established, so give it a bit of time and then drop by to take something to enhance your dinner!  

A hole has appeared in the bottom of the pond through which a great volume of water has escaped. Until it’s investigated further, we can’t be sure exactly what’s happened and why. There is some evidence on site to support the idea that a leak through the clay lining of the pond has been in […]

Come along to the Greener Cheadle planting event on 15th March 2014 – meet at Cheadle Medical Practice, 10.30am-noon.

Update from the Council: Work began yesterday with the removal of trees and vegetation around the pond area (Phase 1). I understand archaeologists will be on site over the weekend to excavate this area behind the Institute building. A temporary compound has been established while consultations continue with Stockport Homes and residents of Queens Gardens. […]

With the previous young children’s play area becoming so old as to be beyond economic repair, a new play area was installed a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, there have been ongoing drainage problems at the new location and we’ve been pressing hard to get it sorted – it’s no use having kids playing in […]
