Congleton Road is closed today and tomorrow (Wednesday 19th August) for surface dressing.

The work is scheduled to take place between 8am and 6pm on both days.

Through traffic is being diverted onto the A34 Alderley Edge bypass, although a traffic management system is in place to allow residents and businesses access to Congleton Road and the adjacent streets.

There will be a further closure of Congleton Road on Sunday 23rd August to allow lining works to take place.

In addition to surface dressing, the double yellow lines going up Congleton Road will be reinstated along with solid white lines in the centre of the road. Additionally 'SLOW' signs will be put in place as drivers approach Hazelcroft Gardens and Congleton Close.

Speaking about the introduction of 'SLOW' signs, Councillor Craig Browne said "As recent evidence has shown, speeding vehicles are a problem on this stretch of road, as they are in other parts of the village.

"I am pleased that CE Highways have responded so quickly and positively to my request for action, following residents concerns about this stretch of road."

Vehicles are still parking at the top of the hill and not being ticketed . This is a major accident waiting to happen . I have reported this problem to the local police in the past ,but they said because of the poor condition of the road markings they cannot take any action .

The closed road signs start at the Nether Alderly cross, but it appears the road resurfacing only went as far as Whitebarn road (I think) what is happening to all the badly filled potholes right up to Nether Alderley primary school, which is just as bad if not worse than the small bit they have already resurfaced.

Is this another case of a CEC Half-a-job???

I have a meeting with the Highways Officer tomorrow, to review the work that has been done as well as to raise some other issues that need addressing around the village.

Nether Alderley is part of the Chelford Ward. As the Alderley Edge Ward Member, I was only able to ask for work to be carried out up to the ward boundary, which is Whitebarn Road.
