Cheshire East Highways recently carried out a formal consultation on the one-way proposals for West Street in the centre of the village.

135 letters were sent out to local residents and businesses, which resulted in two objections being received during the three-week consultation period.

Councillor Craig Browne said "The two objections received related to "wannabe racers" who might be encouraged to speed more often as a result of the proposed changes; and parking on the pavement on the Royles Square side of West Street, which would be unaffected by the proposals. A further comment was received, in favour of the proposals, but suggesting that they should be extended to George Street and South Street."

He added "Cheshire East Highways have written to the respondents, explaining why their objections have not been upheld. The original proposal to include George Street and South Street, was not supported by an engineer's recommendation and would also inevitably lead to an amount of "sign cluttering" in the area."

Not a lot of use unless you educate all these taxi drivers and visually impaired folk as to what road signage is for.
