Minutes:
Councillor R Vernon commented that 500 residents had signed a petition asking for the decision to take Whirley Road, Macclesfield off the gritting route to be reconsidered. He added that Whirley Road hosted the No. 19 bus route linking Prestbury and Greenside Estate to Macclesfield town centre and that a number of on-call firefighters lived on Greenside Estate and relied on the winter gritting service to turn out.
The Deputy Leader gave a commitment that a Member Panel would be established to review the implementation of the policy.
