Cheshire East Council will be carrying out structural patching along Congleton Road, Gawsworth and will take approximately 13 days to complete, commencing from 13 October 2020.
The scheme has been carefully planned to minimise disruption to local residents, businesses and members of the travelling public.
When it’s happening
The works are programmed to begin from Tuesday 13 October to Thursday 29 October 2020 between the hours of 09:30 – 16:30 (excluding weekends). Please note that occasionally the works have to be changed at short notice due to unforeseen circumstances such as adverse weather conditions or logistics.
Under current Health & Safety legislation and for the safety of our workforce and members of the public, it will be necessary for a road closure to be in place during the works.
Every effort will be made to maintain vehicular access to residents and businesses, but there will inevitably be some inconvenience. For enquiries contact Cheshire East Highways on 0300 123 5020.
In March 2019 the Parish Council submitted a detailed report on the community’s concerns about highway safety on the A536. The report, available below, highlighted that between October 2012 and May 2017 there were 64 personal injury accidents on a 12km stretch of the A536 between Congleton and Macclesfield.
The report contained suggestions to improve highway safety. This report was submitted to Cheshire East Highways Officers – no response was received.
The Parish Council has continued to chase Cheshire East for a response, but to date none has been recieved.
Doorstep delivery of milk and more by Heather, Dennis and Danny has been something Gawsworth residents have valued for very many years.
The Newton family are going to extraordinary lengths to keep us supplied during the crisis. They have over 200 new customers and now serve almost 1000 households. Danny did a great job for Newtons and for Gawsworth when he was interviewed on BBC North West recently.
We are all so grateful and so proud of the Newtons Dairy team.
