Yesterday, Cheshire East Highways distributed a letter to residents indicating that they will be carrying out trial holes and carriageway coring on Station Road (approx. 20 metres either side of Station Bridge) on 18th & 19th March 2019 from 9.30am to 15.30pm each day.
For full details please view the letter.
Cheshire East Highways have informed us that the scheme to install a safe area for pedestrians to cross the Station Bridge and traffic lights is on hold. We received the following explanation directly from Cheshire East Highways last week.
“The scheme was programmed in to commence on site in March 2019, however after meeting with the Contractors on site to discuss the buildability aspects of the scheme, it became apparent that it would not be possible to implement the scheme as per the original design. This is mainly down to the complexities of the site in terms of the highway boundary extents.
We have therefore had no option but to place the scheme on hold while we investigate other options in order to ensure that we design and deliver a workable solution that is safe for all road users.
I appreciate this is not the news you wanted to hear, however I can assure you that we are working hard to explore other options to enable the scheme to be constructed”.
We are extremely disappointed in this new delay, however, we are in regular contact with Cheshire East Highways to establish when a “buildable” scheme can be implemented.
Please be advised that the Parish Office is closed from 24th December 2018 to 1pm on 2nd January 2019.
If you need to contact the Parish Council urgently please e-mail the Clerk at parishcouncil@goostrey.info or call on 07834230351.
We have been informed by our CEC Highways contact that the bell mouth of Bank View will be repaired on Tuesday 11th December, this is not one of the scheduled works on the CEC Highways website.
As there are other road surface repairs required along the length of Bank View we have asked if these can be repaired at the same time but as yet we have not received a reply.
You may be aware that Councillor Graham Lenihan sadly passed away on Friday 30th November, after a short illness. We send our sincere condolences to his wife and family, and hold them in out thoughts at this difficult time.
Graham was elected onto the Parish Council in May 2011 and sat on most of the Council’s committees during his two terms of office. He had a warm personality, an affable nature and a great sense of humour and was always ready to volunteer for Council duties.
Graham was involved with a number of Village groups including the Goostrey Parish Archive Group and the Gooseberry Society.
He will be greatly missed by us all.
Graham’s family has asked that we publish the date and time of the funeral which will take place on 11th December 2018 at 11.00am at St Luke’s Church, Goostrey.
Everyone is welcome to attend the funeral and after at the Crown to raise a glass to Graham and bid him a fond farewell.
Tickets for the Seniors’ Lunch have all been sold, however, we have people waiting for tickets so if you find you cannot attend please phone the Clerk on 07834 230351 and we can arrange for you to sell your ticket to someone on the list.
