Just what is the Cheadle Package?

In follow up to the recent post about extra cycling facilities in Manchester, I have now got some information on the mysteriously named 'Cheadle Package'.
According to local Lib Dems, the package will '... greatly improve the links from Gatley, Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme and Heald Green towards Manchester.' 
Billed as a 'Million pound boost to cycling in the Cheadle area', the Cheadle Package actually consists of just over half a million quids work of bike lanes.
The deets are as follows:

  • New off-carriageway route along Kingsway from the Gatley lights to the Manchester border.
  • New on-carriageway route along Manchester Road from Cheadle towards Parrs Wood
  • New safe cycling route (mostly on-road but small section of off road) from Broadway along High Grove Road, Milton Crescent, Wensley Road and Marchbank Drive to join up with Kingsway (and so give a safe route for cyclists wanting to avoid the Kingsway/Gatley Road junction).
  • New safe cycling route from Wilmslow Road, Cheadle along Warren Avenue, The Crescent, Hall Street, Brook Road and Mill Lane to join up with Manchester Road.
  • New section connecting Grange Avenue, Cheadle Hulme to existing signed route along Queen’s Road.
So, there you have it - the Cheadle Package mystery resolved - thanks to Jon Grieve.

Cheadle, yesterday
