The Cheadle Area Committee of Stockport Council met on Tuesday 29 July 2025. The committee considered several reports concerning traffic regulation orders and noted updates on the progress of previous area committee decisions and recent planning and enforcement actions.

Ward Flexibility Funding Applications

The committee considered three applications for Ward Flexibility Funding:

• Heald Green Friday Hub requested £875 towards the cost of hosting a Christmas Wreath making event for elderly local residents, aimed at reducing loneliness and isolation.
• Cheadle Parish PCC requested £750 towards the installation of CCTV to the interior and exterior of St Mary's Church, Cheadle.
• Sparklers Elite Cheerleading requested £100 to support competitors with competition entrance fees for the Under 13’s Cheer Team Allstar World Cheerleading Competition in Florida, USA, in April 2026.

Traffic Regulation Orders and Highway Matters

Several reports concerning traffic regulation orders were considered:

• Finney Lane, Heald Green: The committee was asked to comment on proposals to introduce a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for 'No Waiting at Any Time' and 'No Loading at Any Time' on Finney Lane. This followed a consultation exercise addressing concerns about vehicles parking on pavements, obstructing driveways, and hindering traffic flow. The report detailed resident feedback, with the majority agreeing to the proposals. The committee was asked to recommend that the Cabinet Member for Parks, Highways and Transport Services approves the legal advertising of the TRO.
• A34 Improvement Plan Scheme 6 – Cheadle Royal Junction/School Hill, Cheadle: The committee was asked to comment on proposals for the legal advertisement of a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) to introduce 'No Waiting At Any Time' restrictions on School Hill, Cheadle. Additionally, the committee was asked to approve the legal advertisement of proposed Toucan/Sparrow Crossings at the A34/Cheadle Royal Junction. These measures are part of a wider A34 corridor improvement plan aimed at alleviating congestion and improving accessibility.
• Objection Report - Freshfield Heald Green: This report detailed objections received regarding a proposed 'No Waiting at Any Time' Traffic Regulation Order on parts of Freshfield and Finney Lane in the Heald Green Ward. The report addressed concerns about the purpose of the restrictions and potential technical errors in the notice. The committee was asked to recommend that the proposed Traffic Regulation Order be made as originally advertised.
