As many of our readers know, I attend the Alderley Edge Parish Council meetings each month and report on what I feel are the key issues raised.
After last week's meeting I published an article about the Parish Council getting tough on illegal advertising in the village but other issues discussed include the latest situation regarding the Festival Hall and PCSO Jim Newns explained that his two priorities are anti-social behaviour, in both parks, and burglaries, which there had been a spate of recently owing to the darker evenings. As a result more foot patrols will be undertaken.
Councillors have carried out a review of the parking in the village, both on and off street, and discussed the possible introduction of residential parking schemes. Other traffic matters raised were the questionnaire which Alderley Edge Parish Council produced in September asking for feedback on the initial proposals for road layout improvements at the junctions with Macclesfield Road, Ryleys Lane and Brook Lane. This had produced a disappointing response, thought to be mainly owing to poor distribution of the questionnaire, so it was agreed the questionnaire will be re-issued.
Councillor Paul Tomlinson suggested that an "Open Evening" be held in January where the public could view the traffic proposals for the village post by-pass and views regarding parking could also be obtained.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
Whilst their minutes are on alderleyedge.com there is a chance that people will look at them and comment. Nobody is going to be motivated to go to a clunky council website.
It all sounds very Vicar of Dibley.
We've got something special here which I think has had a very positive effect on the way people interact with each other both virtually and in real life. We should all be encouraging and supporting alderleyedge.com in every way that we can....PC included.
