Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
Peter Wright and his team have done a fantastic job servicing cars there for many many years, with genuine kindness and a very professional ability.
Let's just hope they find other premises locally as they have served this community extremely well and it would be a great pity for them, and us, to disappear for good !
It is sad that no relocation is possible.
It also amazes me how greedy and selfish some people are over wanting to throw someone out of a job so they can build yet more houses and make even more money.
I understand the landlord of these premises is already a multi-millionaire .......... he obviously needs more money to satisfy his ego.
"Human rights" to run a business and make a living , and not be thrown out, to claim the dole!
I feel incensed , by the way our people our local environment , be it allotments, local businesses, Green belt, Infrastructure , playing fields ..........are all at Risk from Cheshire East.
They are supposed to look after the residents of the borough , jeepers !!!
Where was it that farmer , drove his muck spreader past the council offices?
His customers are his friends too and when I visited today there were wellwishers arriving and leaving very upset. I find it unbelievable that the Chancellor has on many occasions wanted to promote small business's, this one happens to be in his constituency!
Thank you all in Alderley Edge for your kind cards and letters and for supporting him over the years.
Couldn't the council come to some arrangement with somewhere like the County Hotel, for example, to create a village business park accommodating the garages and other community-essential businesses, for the good of both the village and the council? It sits there empty, decaying year-after-year!
It is hardly surprising that we just have a village full of restaurants/bars, supermarkets and little else. Our towns and villages are changing shape and we need to find new ways to change with them, without defaulting to the easy option of allowing them to become entirely over run with bars and restaurants. We have to find a way to create a balance.
Thank you Peter and the team at Alderley Motors for the brilliant service you have provided to me and my family over the last few years, it has been much appreciated. I shall particularly miss Peter's great sense of humour :) I wish you all the very best and hope you find a new home soon.
My thanks very and best wishes to you and your families.
J.P. has obviously found somewhere out of town...good luck to you both.
