The Bramhall & Cheadle Hulme South Area Committee approved funding for local community groups and a traffic regulation order to improve safety near a school. The committee also granted permission for two park events to proceed, subject to necessary conditions being met.

Ward Flexibility Funding

The committee approved funding for several local initiatives through the Ward Flexibility Funding scheme.

• Friends of Ladybrook Valley received £1,000 towards the cost of purchasing plant plugs for planting in the meadow behind Bramhall High School. The aim is to reverse the decline in biodiversity in the area.
• Sparklers Elite Cheerleading was granted £400 to support competitors with competition entrance fees for the Under 13's Cheer Team Allstar World Cheerleading Competition in Florida, USA, in April 2026.

Proposed Traffic Regulation Order - North Downs Road, Cheadle Hulme

Approval was given for the legal advertising of a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) on North Downs Road, Cheadle Hulme. This order will introduce 'No Waiting at Any Time' restrictions on the south side of North Downs Road, from its intersection with East Downs Road for 31 metres in a south-westerly direction, and on the west side of East Downs Road, from its intersection with North Downs Road for 10 metres in a southerly direction. This measure is intended to improve manoeuvrability and accessibility for emergency and delivery vehicles accessing the nearby school entrance. The cost of implementing this order is £950, to be funded from the Cheadle Hulme South Ward allocation of the Area Committee's Delegated Budget. The order will be made unless any objections are received within 21 days of its advertisement.

Park Use Applications

The committee approved two applications for events to be held in local parks.

• Bramhall and Woodford Rotary Club received approval to hold their annual summer Circus in the Walled Garden at Bramhall Park on 3rd August 2025. The event is scheduled to run between 1pm and 5pm, with access for setup and breakdown between 8am and 6pm. Approval is subject to the organisers providing all necessary paperwork, including licences, health and safety documentation, insurance certificates, and a traffic management plan, at least two weeks prior to the event.
• Friends of Hesketh Park were granted approval to host their annual community BBQ in Hesketh Park on Saturday 27th September 2025, between 12:30pm and 3:30pm. Access to the park will be required from 10am to 5pm. Similar to the circus event, this approval is conditional on the organisers providing all required documentation in advance.

Stockport Homes Group Update

The committee received an update from Stockport Homes Group (SHG), which manages the council's housing stock. The report provided an overview of SHG's work and key data specific to the Bramhall & Cheadle Hulme South area, including stock profile, customer demographics, and performance indicators such as overall satisfaction, repairs satisfaction, and complaint rates. The committee was asked to comment on the frequency of future SHG attendances and to inform SHG of any additional information they would find useful.

Planning Appeal, Enforcement Appeals and Enforcement Notices

The committee noted a report summarising recent appeal decisions, current planning appeals, and enforcement actions within the Bramhall & Cheadle Hulme South Area Committee area. This included details of appeal decisions for properties at 181 Woodford Road and Chesters Croft, Cheadle Hulme, and ongoing enforcement actions at The Birches, 38B Grange Road, Bramhall; 44 Carrwood Road, Bramhall; and 32 Eskdale Avenue, Bramhall.
