Resurfacing of Heyes Lane confirmed

The 2018/19 Highways Investment Programme has finally, four months into the financial year, been published and Councillor Craig Browne is delighted to confirm that Heyes Lane has been included in this year's programme.

The road will be resurfaced from the junction with Moss Road to the lay-by (known as Mole End).

Councillor Browne said "I have been campaigning for this for almost exactly two years and it is great to get the news we have all been waiting for, although of course it would have been preferable to have the whole length of Heyes Lane resurfaced.

"The cost of the work was estimated in the summer of 2016 at just over £100,000, but to put the news in context, it is one of only 12 roads across Cheshire East that have been included in this year's programme for full resurfacing."

He added "As the news has only just been announced, I cannot yet give a timetable for the work, but will provide everyone with an update as soon as possible."

Great news. well done....can a request be put in that they repair the large craters further along the lane towards the village? One near cottage lawns and quite a few between cottage lawns and granthams bend.

Thanks, Fiona.

I put in a request for patching on the section by Cottage Lawns, last week (reference no. 3334964 on the CE Highways portal). Hopefully it will be marked out for completion shortly.

Kind regards,
Craig

We mustn't forget that the newbuild at 71 has yet to be connected to mains services! I bet that that will be after the resurfacing has been done! More traffic lights!

Thanks Craig Browne for your hard work on this. And can I echo Fiona's comments about those crazy craters near Cottage Lawns. Please can they spare a little asphalt for that bit too ;)

Yes, well done Craig Browne ….
Here's at least one Councillor who has gained the respect from Alderley residents for his dedication, common sense, honesty and reliability. Thank You Craig Browne.

Now the hunt is on for a second one …. this could prove far more difficult indeed ?
