I do think you're being a tad selfish here. over the past few years Marple has had quite alot of work done. Lets see - totally new Street Lighting alond Strines Road and Stockport Road, new lighting, bins, benches, flagging etc for Market Street/Derby Way, loads of works and again lighting in the memorial park (and yes i know alot of work has also been funded away from Council money) to name a few. Whilst i agree it is nice to get as much work done as possible, I think begrudging a 'neighbour' a bit of work is being, as I say, a tad selfish with the limited funding that is obviously available. I'm sure the Council have plans at some point to re-pave Marple and do the bus stops, but a bit of patience and thanks for what has been done surely wouldn't go a-miss?
