Highway Safety Concerns on the A536

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.

Newton’s Dairy on the BBC

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.

Follow them on Facebook and meet the cows that make your milk.
