A resident raised the issue of a large pothole in front of the parade of shops on Stonepail Road and my first thought was “is this Council land or private?”. If the council’s responsible we can get it sorted fairly easily. If it’s private then it’s a different matter. Landowners have responsibility for their own […]

As Mark, Graham and the Lib Dem team have been pressing for, TfGM are now installing a CCTV camera at the junction to better monitor traffic flows. The hope is that it will enable them to modify the traffic light timings remotely and better respond to queue lengths at the junction to get traffic flowing […]

A local resident had spotted that card driving down Daylesford Road were often turning into Barcheston (by Broadway) without pausing to check for traffic, leading to some near misses. The Give Way lines at the junction had worn away and people just didn’t realise they should stop. Graham and the Lib Dem team have now […]

Mark Hunter and the Lib Dems have always made road safety a priority – and as a result we have some of the safest roads in the country. Every accident is one too many, but we’re proud that fewer people are injured or killed on our roads than almost anywhere else in the country. This […]

The Lib Dems were out with council officers on Wednesday morning, working to tackle speeding along Styal Road in Gatley. The speed limit along Styal Road is 30mph but residents have long complained of speeding. The road’s narrow and vehicles regularly end up going through walls and hedges.

The Upgrading works will include the kerbline raising, resurfacing and re-profiling of the existing footway around bus stop, the raising of the existing bus shelter, relocation of the […]

It’s been on the maps since the 1930s. Cheadle MP Mark Hunter and the Lib Dems have campaigned and fought for it for more than a decade, through let downs and cancellations. Finally, work on constructing the A6 to Manchester Airport Relief Road has started, with the road due to open in the Autumn of […]

The Lib Dem team have secured an investment of £200,000 in Cheadle village centre to complete the paving works at the east end. “This funding will allow the final section of paving up to Audio Works to be replaced, improving the look of the whole village and making the pavements safer for pedestrians.” said Lib […]

We’ve already reported back from Mark Hunter’s public meeting about the Kingsway/Gatley Road junction. Residents came up with lots of good suggestions and, though we know there are no easy answers, they’ve been taken away by the Highways Agency, TfGM and Stockport Council to investigate. But there are some measures already planned to improve the […]

At Mark Hunter’s public meeting about the Kingsway/Gatley Road junction the three agencies Mark got along (Highways Agency, TfGM and Stockport Council) gave a joint presentation just giving the background, before we opened it up for people to offer their own thoughts and ideas. This is that presentation. Apologies that in the conversion to be […]
