COMMUNITY SURGERY - SATURDAY 29TH FEB

I am pleased to announce the date of my next Community Surgery, which will be on Saturday 29th February between 10am and 11am. As usual, the venue will be Alderley Edge Library. Please do come along and join me for a tea/coffee and a chat about any local issues which may be causing you concern. There is no need to make an appointment, just call in.

BYPASS SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS

As many residents will have seen, the A34 Alderley Edge Bypass is due to close (evenings only) between Monday 9th March and Sunday 22nd March to enable safety improvements to be introduced. Following a triple fatality on this section of the A34 back in November 2018, I had called for the introduction of double white lines in the centre of this single carriageway road plus the introduction of a 50mph speed restriction.

The safety improvements to be implemented at this time include hatch markings in the centre of the carriageway, which will visually narrow the appearance of the road surface both to discourage overtaking and reduce the speed of vehicles travelling along this stretch of the A34. I am including below, drawings of the measures to be introduced, to help provide residents and motorists with a better impression of how the bypass will look once the works have been completed.
