There is a Consultation for the Heatons, but why not one for each of the different ares of Stockpor? Surely all Stockport residents should have an opportunity to discuss ways of making it easier to cycle of walk in their area and not for the Council to cherry pick their own preferences. For those who look at the Romiley Consultation will see how many proposals have been put forward by local residents.
The Government is trying to get more people cycling and leaving their cars at home, and for Marple residents there are two major routes that need considering - the Alan Newton Way into Stockport that appears to have stalled yet again, and the link from the Middlewood Way to the Manchester Airport Ring Road. Both of these would benefit people working in either areas. Besides these there is my personal preference of Rollins Lane that would enable people to cycle or walk between Compstall and Marple Station, Marple Centre and Marple Hall School. There may well be other routes that Marple rsesidents would like to see improved. Why are they not being given th opportunity?
All these routess would also benefit the Marple area itself by encourageing more non motorised visitors.
