SEMMMS Refresh (Part 1) – Public Consultation on Stockport Transport Issues

[Newbie1]

There are many excellent ideas in the document.  The A6-M60 bypass is not one of them however, and the report admits it will lead to more traffic and require yet another bypass to be built.

Suddenly rising up the agenda it seems is a single carriageway “High Lane and Disley Relief Road”, specifically linking “Torkington and Newtown”.

I can’t argue it’s needed, especially if the A6-M60 goes ahead, but how and where without a billion pound tunnel or inventing vehicle teleportation is another story. For High Lane it could bring in mass infill housebuilding on adjacent land by the back door, for Strines and the Goyt Valley below Disley it could be environmentally devastating. Remember the old, old plan for this bypass that’d fly up over the highest point of Marple Ridge and down to cross right past the canal and Peeres Cottages? 

Suddenly finally building that damn tram link into Stockport seems achievable!

The council are consulting on a "refreshed" SEMMMS Strategy:

SEMMMS Refresh (Part 1) – Public Consultation on Stockport Transport Issues and Options
 
The Council has today begun a public consultation on the SEMMM Strategy Refresh (Part 1) Stockport Transport Issues and Options. The consultation will be running from today (Monday 21st August) until Sunday 8th October. You are invited to view the consultation documents and submit your comments here.
 
Background to the Consultation
The original South East Manchester Multi-Modal (SEMMM) Strategy was first published in 2001 and outlined a 20 year transport plan for the South East Manchester area. The document is in the process of being reviewed by the Council and its partners, to refresh the strategy and approach up to 2040.  The review of the SEMMM Strategy will take account of both what has been achieved since 2001, including delivery of A6MARR, integrated transport corridors, and pedestrian and cycling improvements, but also the changing local context based on proposed housing growth in neighbouring areas and the emerging Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF).
 
As an initial stage in the process, Stockport Council is seeking the views of the local community on transport issues in Stockport and potential options which could be delivered to address these. An Issues and Options paper has been produced which focuses exclusively on transport issues in Stockport and considers how these issues might change over the next 20 years. The paper identifies the emerging vision and priorities for the SEMMM strategy and identifies the potential solutions which could be delivered in Stockport.
 
We would like feedback from Stockport residents and businesses on the Issues and Options paper to understand whether: The key transport issues in the borough have been identified

• The identified potential options are the right kinds of interventions
• There are any other potential options which could be included

Next Steps
The comments received during the consultation on the Issues and Options paper will be considered as part of the refresh of the SEMMM strategy. This initial stage of consultation will be followed by further dialogue and engagement with partners, and testing and evaluation of the potential options in order to identify a Preferred Strategy which will be put forward for further public consultation in early 2018.

How do I comment?
We very much want to hear the views of as many people as possible to help us develop a refreshed SEMMM Strategy.  The SEMMMS Refresh Stockport Transport Issues and Options Paper is available to view on the Council’s website at www.stockport.gov.uk/localplan.
 
The Council is keen to promote the submission of comments electronically and encourages anyone with appropriate facilities to make their responses in this way. Comments can be submitted online at www.stockport.gov.uk/localplan.
 
Hard copies of the Issues and Options Paper and accompanying questionnaires will also be available to view at the Council’s main reception at Fred Perry House on Edward Street (between 8:30am and 5pm Monday to Thursday and between 8:30am and 4:30pm on Fridays), and at all libraries in Stockport during their regular opening hours. Completed questionnaires should be handed to library staff or can be posted to:
