IMPROVING ROADS IN STALYBRIDGE

CLLR. DAVID BUCKLEY AT THE JUNCTION OF MOTTRAM ROAD AND COMPTON STREET

Proposals are being considered to improve safety at the junction of Compton Street and Mottram Road, Stalybridge

The scheme would see the removal of a parking space outside the former post office, so that vehicles pulling out of Compton Street would have a better view of traffic travelling up Mottram Road.

At the moment, motorists have to pull out beyond the junction to view oncoming traffic if there is a vehicle parked outside the former post office.

Stalybridge Conservative councillor, David Buckley, said, “It’s an excellent proposal to make this junction safer, and I hope residents will support it.”

Conservative lobbying has also resulted in the recent resurfacing of Mottram Road between Mottram Old Road and Woodend Lane, and the reduction in the speed limit along Matley Lane to 30mph.

Furthermore, discussions about improving road safety at the Woodend Lane/Mottram Road junction are continuing, and proposals are being considered for a footpath along Mottram Old Road between Mottram Road and Hereford Way, subject to consultation.

Cllr. Buckley’s colleague, Cllr. Doreen Dickinson said, “We are pleased with the improvements and support improvements that will make our roads safer for children. We are continuing our lobbying for improved safety at the junction of Woodend Lane/Mottram Road.”
