As I recently reported, Knutsford Road has been included in this year's road maintenance programme and I can now confirm that carriageway patching works will be carried out on Tuesday 22nd & Wednesday 23rd June. A temporary road closure will be in place between 08.00 and 17.00 on both days, although every effort will be made to ensure access to properties and businesses at all times.
Cheshire East Council is investing an additional £3m in highways maintenance this year (including flood mitigation measures); however, a reduction in funding from the Dept for Transport of £3.9m has effectively wiped out the impact of the investment we are making locally and inevitably means that many of the roads we would have wished to repair, will continue to deteriorate.
I am of course delighted that Knutsford Road and Macclesfield Road are both going to benefit from repair works this year. We have also introduced a £4,200 highways budget for each Ward Councillor this year and I will be using my budget to pay for some minor repairs on Eaton Drive and Stevens Street, as well as some new road markings on West Street, Macclesfield Road & Wilmslow Road.
A spokesperson for Cheshire East Highways added "We aim to minimise disruption to local residents and business ownwers whilst we deliver these improvements. We will make every effort to maintain vehicular access to your property or business; however, it is inevitable that some inconvenience will occur and there may be periods of time when point of entry will vary."
