THREE LOCAL ROADS SET FOR IMMINENT REPAIR

I am pleased to advise residents that the following roads are scheduled for repair:

Eaton Drive (from Ryleys Lane to Wilton Crescent) - Mon 9th May to Weds 11th May

Stevens Street (from London Road to Trafford Road) - Mon 9th May to Weds 11th May

Macclesfield Road (from London Road to Birtles Lane) - Weds 25th May - Tues 31st May

Last year Cheshire East Council decided to abolish the Area Highways Groups (of which there were eight, with our Local Area Group covering Alderley Edge, Wilmslow & Handforth) and to reallocate the funding to each individual Ward Member, giving each Councillor a total of £4,200 per year to spend on local highways priorities. I decided to use my Ward Budget to part-fund repairs to Eaton Drive & Stevens Street (which are being carried out next week) and to fund the addition of white "No Entry" markings on the road surface at the junction of West Street and London Road (installed last year).

Works to Macclesfield Road are being funded through Cheshire East Council's Highways Capital Programme, which this year has seen an additional investment of £7.242m from the Council's own resources, funded through borrowing. Later in the year, this programme is also funding repairs to Congleton Road, Heyes Lane, Brook Lane & South Street and I will provide an update on when these repairs are going to be undertaken as soon as possible. Inevitably, there will be some disruption whilst the repairs are being carried out and I would like to thank residents in advance for their patience.
