At the request of Pam King, residents on Ashfield Road were consulted on amendments to the yellow lines on Ashfield Road and Ashfield Crescent. Of particular concern is one resident, living near the library, who often has problems safely getting in and out of his driveway. The outcome, following the consultation and a decision at […]

The work orders have been put in to paint new yellow lines on Coniston Road, Gatley (and remove a section of line opposite the synagogue). Hopefully the changes will be made soon, but there is a bit of a backlog due to a line painting machine breaking down late last year and then the bad […]

Following requests from residents, Pam and I have for some time been looking at a residents’ parking scheme for Oakfield Avenue, off Oak Road in Cheadle.  It’s a small road, but the big issue is how narrow it is at the entrances.  When cars are parked up at the ends, bin lorries and emergency vehicles […]

Pam and I have been contacted by several people concerned that, in the last couple of weeks, a lot of motorists are parking on St Ann’s Road North by the rear of Cheadle Royal. The suspicion is that it’s people who work on Cheadle Royal choosing to park there and walk in. The problem is […]

Soon after I was first elected in 2009, I can remember finding out the somewhat obscure reasons why the old double yellow lines had been replaced with single yellows on Cheadle High Street and some roads off.  Essentially, it used to be the case that double yellow lines could be time-limited (e.g. no parking between […]

Stockport Council, in partnership with Merseyway Shopping Centre, will be providing free Christmas parking to shoppers in December. From Saturday 11 until Friday 24 December free parking will […]

Following requests by residents and the Council looking to see if it meets the requirements, we’re considering a proposal to have permit parking on Hall Street , Ernest Street and Crescent Road, plus double yellow lines at the junction of Hall Street and Brook Road. You can see the plans from page 137 of the […]

After years of warnings, the police are cracking down on illegal parking outside schools with a zero tolerance policy, which started from 1st December. Please be considerate: drive safely and park legally if you need to drive to school. Councillors will be kept up to date by the police on how many tickets have been […]

Until Christmas, parking is free in the Council car parks across Stockport’s eight District Centres, including Cheadle – happy shopping!

Pam and I are pleased that the new parking regulations seem to be working reasonably well on Ashfield Road, Cheadle by the library (please let us know if you disagree – we can only go on what we see and what people tell us). Double yellow lines down the east side seem to have stopped […]
