A556 Knutsford to Bowdon Scheme: Post Consultation Update (11.00-11.15)
Neil Collie
Minutes:
Neil Collie updated the Forum on the A556 Knutsford to Bowdon road scheme.
The Highways Agency had carried out consultation between 23 January and 16 April on the proposed plans for the A556. The Forum had sent a response to the consultation from a non motorised users view.
A number of changes to the scheme design had been made in response to public feedback. These included the inclusion of a roundabout and the slip road layout at the A50 interchange; Millington Junction being amended to include a southbound off-slip only with no overbridge, and Tabley Junction being amended to include Old Hall Lane diversion. The overpass at Rostherne was to be amended to allow vehicular access as well as access for non motorised users. Of particular interest to Member, additional facilities on the existing A556 for non-motorised users would be considered as part of the de-trunking works.
It was suggested that the Highways Agency and Jacobs be invited to the Forum again to discuss the changes to the existing A556 resulting from the consultation.
