Cllr Sheila BaileyCllr Sheila BaileyCllr Sheila BaileyCllr Sheila Bailey said "Whether passageways
are adopted or not, it is in everyone's interest to keep
them as clear of rubbish and overgrown vegetation as
possible. Also there has been an increase in black bags being
dumped. Every time this happens it costs Council Tax payers around £60£60£60£60 to have
them removed which is money that could be better spent".

The overwhelming majority of British people stand together against hatred and prejudice.

not be tolerated".

Do we want to lose the last bowling greens in Edgeley & Cheadle Heath? The vast majority of local residents do not. Leaflets asking people to keep off the grass have been produced and handed out in the park, CCTV has been installed, the police have increased patrols but still the problems persistbut still the problems persistbut still the problems persistbut still the problems persist. It may be the only way forward is to fence the greens as has been done in other parks. Far less costly would be for them not to be abused and for bowlers to be able to continue enjoying their sport. The first meeting of a new Friends Group has taken place which we hope will involve all park users.

Children from St Matthew's School finished off their week of art and crafts with a Rio-style carnival at St Matthew's Church where they danced and sang. Also joining in was Stockport Academy's steel band. Well done to all the children for a fantastic display.
Cllr Sheila Bailey met recently with some of the bowlers and walkers in Alexandra Park to hear about the ongoing abuse of the greens. If it doesn't stop the greens will become unusable.
We have received complaints about the use of this passageway by off-road bikes. Cllr Richard Cllr Richard Cllr Richard Cllr Richard CoatonCoatonCoatonCoaton said "These bikes cause a noise nuisance for nearby residents and a danger to
pedestrians using the passageway. Labour Councillors in the adjoining
Ward have also had complaints and I am working with them to see what can
be done to stop this happening".

Aurora Industrial ParkAurora Industrial ParkAurora Industrial ParkAurora Industrial Park Seddons will be starting work on this development in July. The update meeting in Cheadle Heath for residents around the site was very well attended. We met with Seddon Managers and asked for regular updates. We have been advised that for several weeks at the beginning of the work there will be noise because of the need to compact the ground before building. They have, however, promised to keep this to a minimum and contact details for the project manager will be on site.
