Frustration over village traffic chaos as roadworks begin on first day of school term
08.09.2022 - 16:03 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Roadworks which began the day schools went back after the holidays could bring traffic misery to a village for weeks to come, it is feared. Newhey Road, in Milnrow, is being dug up so work on sewers serving the ‘state-of-the-art’ medical centre currently being built can be completed by a contractor.
The work began on Monday and the road will be closed for two weeks before temporary traffic lights are installed for a further four weeks. The closure means traffic cannot enter to Milnrow from the direction of Newhey, instead having to take alternative routes along Elizabethan Way, Bridge Street and Dale Street.
A notice on Rochdale council’s website says it organised the roadworks - later clarifying this meant it had ‘issued the permit’. However, it denies responsibility for the works, traffic management, insisting this lies with the contractor, which has not been named.

Councillor Andy Kelly, who represents Milnrow and Newhey, says he welcomes the new medical centre, which he says is 'definitely needed'. But the Lib Dem group leader hit out at council bosses for issuing the permit for the work.
“It’s just getting to the point where officers just don’t listen to anything councillors have got to say. It’s just the worst planning it possibly could be,” he said. “We said don’t do it, find some other time. They said they can’t leave it until another two-week break as that would be Christmas.”
Coun Kelly reports that there were tailbacks of around a mile in all four directions yesterday - some longer - and it was taking an hour to get from Newhey Primary School to Littleborough
