Parking will be banned on three residential streets, at particular times of the day, to stop commuter parking.
From Monday, 19th January, vehicles will be prohibited from waiting or parking on both sides of Daveylands from a point 20 metres north-west of its junction with Macclesfield Road to its junctions with Dane Drive and Vardon Drive.
Additionally, parking on the entire length of both Vardon Drive and Dane Drive will also be prohibited.
The restrictions will be in place from Monday to Friday between the hours of 8.30am and 10.30am and 2pm and 3pm.
A spokesperson for Cheshire East Council said "These restrictions have been identified as a ward priority and relate to problems caused by commuter parking in the Daveylands area of Wilmslow which is on the edge the town restricted parking zone.
"This results in the one way flow of traffic and restricted passage for vehicles particularly public service and emergency service vehicles. Furthermore, there are significant safety issues for pedestrians having to negotiate around cars parked haphazardly on the footpath and difficulties caused by vehicles obstructing private driveways.
"It is therefore deemed necessary in the interests of highway safety to introduce a restriction of waiting Order to alleviate these problems and keep the area clear of parked vehicles."

Do Cllrs just go along with it? And the same occurs with housing - narrow roads, insufficient off road parking or pull ins.
We may be little different to other boroughs, but from experience of working 'down south', parking was always adequate, London excepted. However we did have frequent bus services, unlike Wilmslow.
Finally, tenants often pay for leased car parking spaces. Could the landlord be overcharging? Just a thought ....
I could of course to completely wrong on both counts and that there is another reason for the parking congestion. Be helpful if CEC commented to clear up any misunderstanding. If they understand, it could contribute to the 20yr core plan, ie additional car parking does not, I believe, feature for Wilmslow.
The money would be better spent sorting out the poor road surfaces and addressing a proper parking solution. This is short sighted displacement of the problem.
