Cheshire East Highways recently carried out a formal consultation on the one-way proposals for West Street in the centre of the village. I am pleased to report that the results were favourable, with 135 letters being sent out to local residents and businesses and only two objections being received during the three-week consultation period.
The two objections received related to “wannabe racers” who might be encouraged to speed more often as a result of the proposed changes; and parking on the pavement on the Royles Square side of West Street, which would be unaffected by the proposals. A further comment was received, in favour of the proposals, but suggesting that they should be extended to George Street & South Street.
Cheshire East Highways have written to the respondents, explaining why their objections have not been upheld. The original proposal to include George Street and South Street, was not supported by an engineer’s recommendation and would also inevitably lead to an amount of “sign cluttering” in the area.
Here is a link to a video I have made, which I believe is a good illustration of why a one-way system is necessary at this location: https://youtu.be/Vd8OHWJX_7s
