More good news on pooling water and blocked grids
February 21, 2010 Iain Roberts 3 Comments

Regular readers will know that I’ve put a fair amount of time into sorting out the flooding/pooling issues around Cheadle & Gatley since my election in September.  I think it’s going pretty well.

Over the last few months, several serious and, in some cases, longstanding problems have been fixed including Gatley Green, Longley Lane, Styal Road (by Church Road), outside Hewitt’s on Gatley Road and opposite the exit to Gatley Medical Centre  on Old Hall Road.

I’ve been targetting those places where there’s a problem first (i.e. not just blocked grids, but blocked grids causing regular problems with pooling or flooding).

I’ve now been assured that the following, all of which I raised with the Council, are either already cleared (in one or two cases) or will be cleared soon:

  • Bottom of West Drive, Gatley
  • Corner of Oakwood Avenue and Gatley Road, by railway bridge
  • Outside 40 Altrincham Road
  • Opposite BP garage on Stockport Road, Cheadle
  • Between Oak Road and Manchester Road on Stockport Road, Cheadle
  • Bottom of Schools Hill, Cheadle

The corner of Kingsway and Gatley Road is also being looked at.  This has been cleared more than once in the recent past and keeps on coming back, suggesting there’s a more serious problem that needs attention.

Iain, The whole of Gatley Road needs fixing there are over 25 drains that are block. many from the A34junction are blocked not just the ones at the junction its obvious that they need to look at these as they maybe why the ones at the junction are blocking again. Also Oakwood Ave needs to be sorted.Please Plese can they be looked and actioned its gone on too long. Do we need to get the MP involved.
thanks
Nigel Martin

Although many thanks were sent to you about the repair of the grid surround outside 167/169, unfortunately I have to report that the grid itself is blocked and consequently pedestrians have to wait until no cars are approaching from the railway bridge before they can pass by that section of the pavement otherwise they will get soaked in wet weather.

Bottom of Schools Hill as bad as ever. I personally think the tarmac contractors have not made the fall from the Hill into Wilmslow road at the right angle, so the water doesn’t drain round the corner to the left at all. Today (27.01.10) the pool is as bad as ever, following rain yesterday. The water egressing from the other side of the road onto the road and downhill to the junction just makes things worse.
