TRAFFORD ROAD TO CLOSE FOR SURFACE TREATMENT

I am pleased to announce that Trafford Road is to temporarily close to through traffic to enable surface treatment works to be carried out. The closure will be in place from Tuesday 1st September to Wednesday 9th September and will apply to both the upper and lower sections of Trafford Road. 

In the autumn of 2019, elected members of Cheshire East Council were invited to put forward five priority roads for their wards. Whilst clearly not all requests could be funded, I am delighted that Moss Road, recently benefited from carriageway patching and now Trafford Road is to receive surface treatment.

This year, Cheshire East Council has made an unprecedented level of investment in road maintenance (£8.55m), as well as in footpath repairs and lining works; however, independent estimates suggest an annual investment of £17m is needed simply to maintain the existing condition of many of our roads.

Clearly there is much work still to do, but I would like to thank officers from Cheshire East Highways for responding positively to my request for these works to be carried out in Alderley Edge.
