A representative of the Corporate Director for Place Management and Regeneration submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) presenting the findings of a consultation exercise and seeking approval to widen the existing bridleway between Cheadle Road and Old Wool Lane, Cheadle Hulme and widen the existing footway on Cheadle Road between the end of the existing bridleway and the proposed pedestrian refuge.

The Council had been granted funding from the Greater Manchester Cycle City ambition Grant (CCAG) programme to improve/create cycle routes in the Cheadle Hulme/Bramhall area. This had included works along the Ladybrook Valley, Ladybridge Road and Bramhall Park. The Council had identified a route between Cheadle Road and Old Wool Lane which would form a link to the Ladybrook Valley bridleways on Old Wool Lane from Cheadle Road. The scheme would also link into the proposed highway works for the development of the Cheadle Hulme Laurus Trust School.

RESOLVED – (1) That the Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing be recommended to approve the proposals contained with Section 2.2 of the report.

(2) That bollards be placed in such a way as to prevent small vehicles from entering Old Wool Lane.
