After being reported by the Lib Dem team, several streetlights in the centre of Gatley and one under the railway bridge have been repaired by the Council. We’ve reported a number of other lights for repair, including on Old Hall Road and the passageway between Belmont Road and South Park Road, Gatley. Please do report […]

The Lib Dem team have reported five faulty streetlights in central Gatley for repair – two opposite the Horse & Farrier, one outside the Tatton, one under the railway bridge and one at by the triangle on Old Hall Road. We’ve also asked the Council to cut back vegetation on the passageways from South Park […]

Here are the details of how Stockport Council will spend nearly £10 million for the year 2012-13 on improving transportation across the Borough. This includes improvements to roads and pavements, structures and drainage as well as a number of other items. It doesn’t include the extra £1 million the Lib Dems have allocated to spending […]

Streetlights across many of our main roads in Stockport are set to become brighter, cheaper to run and cleverer thanks to a Lib Dem initiative being proposed by Cllr Iain Roberts. The nearly-£2 million investment will see new light put on 8% of the streetlights.  The lamps burn brighter and whiter, so are better for […]

Stockport Council will be repairing all faulty streetlights in Orchard and Rosewood Gardens shortly. The problem has arisen because the roads are not adopted by the Council – they are still in the ownership of the developer who therefore has responsibility for fixing these sorts of problems.

The Lib Dem team have been out and about and we’ve reported a few faulty streetlights and potholes including: potholes on Appleby Road, Gainford Avenue, Buttermere Road and Grasmere Road in Gatley streetlight outside 47 Gatley Road, Cheadle streetlight on Gatley Road by railway bridge, Gatley streetlight on Pendlebury Road, opposite the entrance to Hyldavale […]

The document below shows the money Stockport Council is spending on its capital transport programme in 2011/12. That’s things like big pavement and road resurfacing. Stockport, like every council, doesn’t have nearly enough money to repair everything we’d like. Council officers look across the Borough each year and allocate money to what they see as […]

I don’t know what it is about Broadway – the streetlights seem to break more often than elsewhere.  Just chance, probably. Coming back from Cheadle Village Partnership yesterday I spotted lights 19, 24 and 26 on Broadway aren’t working. I also reported a pothole at the junction of Barcheston Road and Broadway, and one of […]

For the best part of a year a resident of Hawthorn Road, Gatley has been asking for a sign near the Gatley Green Co-op to be replaced.  It’s obviously taken a bash at some time and was bent. Pam and I have been chasing this up, and now it’s been replaced.  I saw yesterday that […]
