PARKING ON MEADOW BROW/REDESMERE DRIVE

After many months of discussion and negotiation, the attached restrictions to parking on Meadow Brow and Redesmere Drive were finally signed off on Friday 18th May, by a Senior Highways Officer and Cabinet Member. I attended the meeting in Sandbach, to try and ensure things went through as smoothly as possible. Whilst I am aware that the restrictions are not perfect and do not go as far as the residents had been promised last year (in a letter from Frank Jordan, Director of Place), they will bring some improvement in highway safety. I asked for the proposals to be brought forward following a series of missed refuse collections at Meadow Brow (due to people parking in the neck of the cul-de-sac) and to prevent double parking, as well as parking on the footpath at the entrance to Redesmere Drive (which is a walking route to school). Following a period of consultation by CE Highways, which ended on 27th April, 19 residents submitted representations in favour of the proposals, whilst 5 residents submitted objections. Residents will receive a letter from CE Highways, explaining the decision that has now been made.
