PROPOSED HIGHWAYS SCHEMES

Following concerns recently expressed by a number of residents, I would like to share with everyone a list of proposed schemes (and costs) I have been working on and that are on the list of priorities for funding:

Ryleys Lane - a new zebra crossing between Eaton Drive and the Ryleys School - £40,000
Congleton Rd - double yellow lines to reinforce existing double white lines - £4,000
Congleton Rd - a Speed Indicator Device close to Beechfield Road junction - £8,000
Moss Rd - yellow lines at the junction with Heyes Lane - £5,000
Chorley Hall Lane - footpath widening over railway bridge and one-way system - £10,000
Brook Lane - double yellow lines and parking restrictions by Oakhurst Chase - £5,000
George St/South St/West St - one way system introduced - £6,000
Stamford Road - amend "H" bars and modify current parking bay dimensions - £3,000
Brook Lane - mini roundabout at the junction with Wilmslow Road - £90,000

NEW SPACES - STEVENS ST

As I recently shared with everyone, we will be getting some extra parking spaces close to the centre of the village, including London Road, George Street, South Street & West Street.  I am pleased to say that we will also be gaining THREE new spaces on Stevens Street by re-alligning some existing parking bays. The Wilmslow Area Highways Partnership are funding this and I would like to thank my fellow INDEPENDENT Cheshire East Councillors for their support in voting for this project, which will create FIFTEEN new parking spaces in total.

SEPTEMBER SURGERY

My next community surgery will be on Saturday 24th September at the usual time of 10am.

Why not come and join me for a coffee at Aldeli?  I look forward to seeing you there :-)

TEMPORARY TRAFFIC LIGHTS

I would like to advise residents of the following scheduled works:

Macclesfield Road (Pine Tree Cottage) - between 10th Sept - 14th Sept there will be a two-way traffic signal control as footpath excavation works are carried out by ENW Excalon.

Heyes Lane (Hough Lane junction) - between 31st Aug - 2nd Sept there will be a two-way traffic signal control as works are carried out by United Utilities Water Ltd.

PLANNED HIGHWAYS WORKS

Following a number of reports I have made over recent months, I am pleased to report that Cheshire East Highways have scheduled some carriageway repair works which will be carried out on set days over the next couple of weeks.  The repairs will by "type two" patching (which are similar to the ones recently carried out on Talbot Road) and a traffic management system will be in place on the affected roads.  The schedule is:

Brook Lane (from Russet Way to Sunninghey Court) - Friday 2nd September

Hough Lane (from Whitehall Brook to Mottram Road) - Wednesday 7th & Thursday 8th September

SIGNPOST AUDIT

On Tuesday 6th September, the Tour of Britain is coming to Alderley Edge.  This will be a fantastic opportunity to welcome visitors to our village and to showcase what a lovely place it is to live, work and shop in.  I would like everything to look at its best on the day, so I am launching an audit of signposts around the village that may be in need of a bit of a clean up (like the ones shown below), so that I can get them reported to Cheshire East Highways asap!  If you are aware of any other signs that look like the ones below, please can you let me know by filling in the comment box.  Thanks :-)
