Relating to the timescale for the proposed consultation on the Stepping Hill Area controlled parking zone and the details of the costings of any scheme including possible contributions from the Stockport NHS Foundation Trust and the ongoing revenue requirement to provide enforcement. In response it was stated that officers had clarified that an income and costing model had not yet been developed for the scheme, and that assumptions had been made in relation to the number of residential properties with private driveways that would participate in the scheme along with the amount of on street parking that would persist in the area in the light of a new charging regime introduced. Relating to the ethics of residents being required to pay for a Residents Permit Parking Scheme which was only necessary because of the policies of Stepping Hill Hospital. In response, it was stated that there was a general right to park on the highway where traffic regulations orders did not preclude it. There was a cost to implementing any scheme to exclude certain sections of the highway from that general right, and there was a further cost to enforce those restrictions which needed to be borne by those who benefited from the scheme. (iii) Public Realm The Chair reported that the Public Realm Officer was unable to attend this meeting of the Area Committee, however it was stated that a summary of activities with the Public Realm service area had been circulated to members of the area committee separately. Councillor Wright commented on the condition of the Riley’s Snooker Club on the A6 in relation to overgrowing vegetation on the exterior of the building. In response, it was stated that this fell within the Brinnington and Central Ward, however it was requested that this be referred to the Public Realm Officer for the Central Stockport Area Committee to action. RESOLVED – That the report be noted. (iv) Petitions A representative of the Deputy Chief Executive reported on receipt the following petitions:- Stepping Hill Area Committee - 10 December 2019 (i) Pause the GM Cycle and Walk Offerton – Stockport Proposals until further consultation A petition, containing 220 signatures, from local residents, was submitted requesting that: ‘The Greater Manchester Mayor and Stockport Council’s proposed changes to the area are much wider than many residents first realised. It affects much of the Offerton and Manor wards, not just the Fingerpost junction, and is more than just the creation of cycle paths. This combined with many households not receiving vital information means that residents think that further, detailed and more inclusive consultation is necessary before many and of these changes should take place. RESOLVED – That the petition be referred to the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration for investigation. (ii) Proposed changes to several roads around the Offerton area including:- A petition, containing 164 signatures from local residents, was submitted in relation to the following proposed traffic measures:- Worsley Crescent becoming one way No right turn both Dialstone Lane and Banks Lane onto Hempshaw Lane A new crossing on Dialstone Lane near to Dialstone Wines A new crossing on Banks Lane near to Harold Street (with the bus stop being moved next to the car park entrance) New cycle paths throughout the area The petition also requested more information and clarity on the proposed changes to Offerton roads, including all traffic planning measures and impact assessments. RESOLVED – That the petition be referred to the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration for investigation. (iii) Proposed Bridle/Cycle Path (3 Metres wide) to the rear of 50-56 Sandown Road, Hazel Grove A petition, containing 17 signatures, was submitted by local residents, objecting to the erection of a bridle/cycle path to the rear of 50-56 Sandown Road, Hazel Grove. Steve Dyre attended the meeting to speak in support of local residents who had signed the petition. Mr Dyre reported that a further 16 signatures had been received since the petition had been submitted. Nick Whelan (Traffic and Asset Manager, Stockport Council) commented that there would be a report submitted to the January 2020 cycle of Area Committees which would respond to issues raised in this petition. Stepping Hill Area Committee - 10 December 2019 (iv) Petition to stop the relocation of the bus stop on Banks Lane adjacent to 31 Banks Lane A petition, containing 29 signatures, was submitted requesting that the bus stop on Banks Lane adjacent to 31 Banks Lane not be relocated as proposed. It was noted that although the location of the bus stop on Banks Lane fell outside the area represented by the Stepping Hill Area Committee, being within Manor Ward, it was nonetheless the case that a large number of its users would primarily be drawn from within the adjacent Offerton Ward.

Introduction District centres are of vital importance for Stockport’s residents and play a central part of civic life across the Borough. In order to better support these district centres, the Council has begun a partnership with the Institute of Place Management (IPM) based at Manchester Metropolitan University, which is internationally recognised for its work in understanding how places function ad supporting their success. The project will support the joint Communities & Housing and Economy & Regeneration Scrutiny Review into District Centres and help develop a long-term strategy for Stockport’s district centres that is rigorous, deliverable, and based upon the latest objective evidence. This work will, in turn, have a measurable impact upon the sustainability and liveability of Stockport's existing centres as places that serve the needs of their catchment communities, and support thriving, relevant, and accessible district centres across Stockport. Each of the eight district centres has unique characteristics, as well as its own strengths and challenges.

  • The South East Manchester Multi-Modal Strategy (SEMMMS)
    1. BACKGROUND The South East Manchester Multi-Modal Strategy (SEMMMS) is a 20 year transport strategy covering an area to the south east of Manchester including parts of Cheshire East, Derbyshire, Stockport and Tameside local authority areas. The SEMMMS Relief Road, M60 to Manchester Airport is a major part of the Strategy and in 2003/2004 two rounds of consultation were undertaken on the principles of the road and junction options for the full Scheme. In 2008 the Government announced the offer of £165 million to partially fund a 10km section of the road – the A6 to Manchester Airport Relief Road. The remainder of the funding has been identified by the Greater Manchester Transport Fund using the Greater Manchester Earn Back Model. The Earn Back Model was announced as part of the City Deal for Manchester during the March 2012 budget. The SEMMMS A6 to Manchester Airport Relief Road was identified as a priority Scheme for Greater Manchester and, subject to the approval of the Combined Authority, is one of two Schemes to be funded as part of the first phase of the Earn Back funding regime. The following additional Schemes, which are not funded as part of the A6 to Manchester Airport Relief Road, are still a priority for funding and delivery: • A6 Hazel Grove to M60 Bredbury • A523 Poynton bypass • Stepping Hill Link Road Following the Earn Back funding announcement, a new round of consultation took place, the first phase being held between the 22nd October 2012 and the 25th January 2013. The results of this are currently being analysed and a second phase of consultation is programmed for June 2013, which will ask for opinions on the emerging preferred scheme.

    Application No : 13/3455M Location: Land to the south of Stockport, adjacent to and between the A6 (Buxton Road) and land to the east of the Styal railway line, north of Styal Golf Course. Proposal: Construction of the A6 to Manchester Airport Relief Road (whole route), incorporating: • Seven new road junctions; • Modification to four existing road junctions; • Four new rail bridge crossings; • Three new public rights of way/accommodation bridges; • Four new road bridges; • A pedestrian & cycle route; • Six balancing ponds; and • Associated landscaping, lighting and infrastructure works. Within Cheshire East: • modifications to one existing road junction; • two new public rights of way/accommodation bridges; • one new road bridge; • a pedestrian and cycle route for the whole length of the relief road, including retrofitting it to the existing section of the A555; • one balancing pond for drainage purposes; and • associated landscaping, lighting, engineering and infrastructure works. Applicant: Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, Cheshire East Borough Council & Manchester City Council Expiry Date: 24/02/2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Planning permission is sought to construct a new dual carriageway from the A6 near to Hazel Grove (south east Stockport) to Manchester Airport and the link road to the M56. The application spans three Authority boundaries, namely Stockport MBC, Cheshire East Council and Manchester City Council, and as such, a detailed planning application has been submitted to the three authorities for determination of the scheme which falls within each of the Authority boundaries. This report covers in detail the proposed scheme which falls within Cheshire East. It is considered important that all decision makers are fully furnished with the whole proposed scheme and relevant facts pertaining to it, the report therefore also covers details outside of the Cheshire East boundary.

All being well, a new 1km section of track, called the Ordsall Chord, will be constructed by the end of December 2016. This will then allow TransPennine Express services from the North East, and Yorkshire, direct access to Manchester airport, via Manchester Victoria and Manchester Piccadilly stations. Currently there are train services from the North West which terminate at Victoria on the through platforms, examples are Southport, Clitheroe, Wigan Wallgate, Blackpool North, Liverpool Lime Street and Kirby. By 2017 these will be in the way of the express trains to/from the airport, and therefore need to be moved on to another location.
