A lay-by on Macclesfield Road has been closed to discourage people from driving to The Edge during the current coronavirus lockdown.

Cheshire East Highways have stopped vehicles from using the lay-by at the top Macclesfield Road, adjacent to Castle Rock, at the request of the police as it has been packed with cars recently, whilst the National Trust car park is closed.

I saw that the lay-by had been coned off when I was out on my bike the other day. But the next "lay-by" (the off road parking area on the same side before you get to the wizard) wasn't coned off and there were cars parking there. So - I don't quite understand the thinking here. Surely they both need to be coned off.

Know what you mean, Ade..sensible thinking. But what is really necessary is for the covidiots to stay at home.
