People living on a busy Stockport road say they have been plagued by endless roadworks for the last two years - and want it to stop. Manchester Road, in Heaton Chapel, has been repeatedly dug up to allow utilities firms - responsible for electricity, water, gas and internet - to carry out maintenance and upgrade work.
Residents accept it needs to be done, but are urging the council - which issues the permits - to better ‘coordinate’ the work and bring the ‘constant’ disruption to an end. They also want town hall bosses to reclassify the route, as its current status as a ‘strategic transport route’ means signs direct traffic - including HGVs - along it, rather than the A6 being the main road to Manchester.
Locals say this compounds the issues of congestion and noise and air pollution, as well as subjecting the road to more wear and tear. There are further complaints over traffic being pushed further down Manchester Road during last year’s Active Neighbourhood trial, while the council has granted permission for further housing in the area - including the Ash Hotel development - meaning more and more vehicles are being ‘dumped’ on the road.

Town hall bosses say they regret the disruption to residents - but permits have been issued on an emergency basis - to ensure there is no lack of service to people in the area. While the status of the road is not due to be reviewed until 2025 - a previous proposal to direct traffic along Belmont Road and the A6 was previously rejected - the council says it is ‘working proactively’ with utilities firms to mitigate their impact on the area.
