Improvements are being made over the summer to the area around Cheadle Royal: to the roundabout itself, Wilmslow Road and the A34 up to Broadway.
They come from the expansion of Sainsbury’s at Cheadle Royal back in 2011. The first phase of expenditure was used on the Schools Hill improvements – slowing down traffic as it came off the roundabout and approaching the pedestrian crossing.
The funding for all these works comes from Sainsbury’s as part of their “Section 106″ agreement linked to their store expansion.
The improvements are aimed to help drivers, cyclists and pedestrians; the cycle improvements are designed to link into the wider cycle schemes, providing end-to-end routes around Stockport and into Manchester that avoid busy roads.
