Work is currently underway to help highlight the speed limit on Wilmslow Road, which changed from 40mph when the road was downgraded in 2011 following the opening of the Alderley Edge bypass in November 2010.
Lining and surface dressing works have been taking place on Wilmslow Road to highlight the 30mph limit - which is in place from Whitehall Bridge roundabout - as you come off the A34 bypass - to the entry of the 20mph zone just prior to Brook Lane.
This follows the the installation of four "30" mph signs on the lamp columns along this stretch of road in March 2024 at a cost of £82, which was funded by Alderley Edge Parish Council.
Councillor Craig Browne said "Also pleased that a dropped kerb has been installed just south of the junction with Harden Park. A pedestrian refuge is also due to be installed north of the Harden Park junction, this will take place later in the year."

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
Who is going to pay to fix the potholes on the A34 where the new surfacing is, for some reason, missing?
There are many patches of new tarmac, covering potholes on lots of local roads, that will have cost plenty - by the end of the coming winter they will all need doing, all over again.
The local authority is as useless as our new government.
Whether the money has come from local council, central govt or developers, it’s an utter waste when our roads are third world standard.
Which contractor got the red paint job? Any connection to a local councillor?
