The local Police have informed Poynton Town Council that they are willing to enforce a weight limit.
We note that in 2010, when the Alderley Edge Bypass was opened, Cheshire East imposed a 7.5 tons weight limit on traffic using the main road through Alderley Edge village. A similar situation now exists in Poynton, and a 7.5 tons weight limit should also be installed here.
Cheshire East must also ensure the updating of road signs to the north of Poynton on the A523 and A555 (within Stockport MBC) which continue to direct traffic for Macclesfield to go down London Road North (now the B5092) and through the centre of Poynton, rather than use the A555 and Poynton Relief Road. New signs should be funded as part of the Poynton Relief Road scheme.
We support the representations on the weight limit and road
signs already made to Cheshire East by Poynton’s Councillors
and Poynton Town Council and urge Cheshire East to take immediate
action to resolve them.
