Council wants your help to identify the most dangerous roads

Cheshire East Council is asking residents to let them know which local roads they feel are most dangerous so they can focus their resources in the worst areas.

The information gathered will be used to develop an initial local community road safety programme and will also be fed into the Council's programme of speed limit reviews across the Borough.

Cheshire East residents have ranked 'improving road safety' as one of their most important highway service priorities - only 'improving the conditions of the Borough's roads' and 'tackling congestion' are rated as higher priorities.

Councillor David Topping, Cheshire East Council Cabinet member in charge of service commissioning, said: "We are a listening Council that's determined to put residents first – so it is important that people tell us what work they would like to see prioritised to improve safety for our road users.

"Writing or emailing only takes a few moments and ensures that we get the chance to meet local needs most effectively."

If you have a particular road safety concern you would like to be addressed, please email [email protected] before March 16th, ensuring the area of interest is clearly identified.

Could they please add dangerous pavements to this? Walking into Alderley Village is an obstacle course of uneven and poorly repaired pavements and cracked and pitted paving slabs. It's bad enough during the day but at night it is horrendous trying to negotiate your way home. Perhaps the roads are becoming more dangerous because people are taking to their cars to avoid walking on the pavements?
