Car parking immediately next to junction, 23rd April
There are regularly cars parked at the junction of Hawk Green Road and Ridge Road. In particular a car parks on the west side of Ridge Road immediately after the junction. There will be a crash at some point because it's a difficult junction (visibility not good) and this car forces drivers (that have come up Hawk Green road and turned left) onto the wrong side of the road

Roads still not been swept since reported last year, 21st April
I reported that the roads aren't being swept or the weeds aren't being cleaned from the curbside all along the old section of a6 from Norbury hollow to the bus lane bridge, theres constantly heavy grit and dirt along the road that I find im walking into my car and house now as the road hasn't seen a sweeper or any cleaners in a few years now, the hedge row next to the field was reported last year and over winter spring still hasn't been trimmed back too and now were heading into nesting season I presume they won't be cut back so will overgrow the pavements and people will have to walk along the road. theres big weeds inches big growing from the curb side around the bus shelter too along with last years leaves that still havent been swept so theyre all mulchy when wet. completely unacceptable when I seen places like bramhall roundabout constantly maintained and we can't get anyone to clean the road once a year!! will keep reporting monthly now until something is done.

Persistent Drainage Issue Cracking Road Surface, 19th April
Hi Highways Team, Id like to report to you an ongoing issue that when it rains heavy at the bottom of Dan bank the drains here are not sufficient or become over whelmed and end up causing a large pool of water that covers the whole carriageway. This is causing you to be also called out to fix numerous potholes as its breaking the road up. Is their any chance you could come out and look if we need drainage kerbs installing here or a new system as its an ongoing problem and ruining the road surface and a big issue for cyclists using this route when its bad weather.
Thanks again for any help you can give us on this.

Cracked and Sunken Pot hole fills with water, 19th April
Hi Highways Team,
There is a pothole which is all sunken cracked tarmac which when it rains collect water and is a hazard to all road users. As this is a school route with lots of pedestrians and traffic it just needs digging out and filling in to stop it ruining the surrounding road surface as its cracking the round surface and will cause further issues.
Thanks

Road needs Resurafacing Overdue, 19th April
Hi Highways Team
I would like to re-report an issue in which I reported to you over a year ago as it has got worse and been ignored for 10-15years (please see below) in which still needs to maintenance work carried out and should be added to the list as this road is well overdue resurfacing and lines and cats eyes are gone/broken. Its not fair that Marple is to be ignored as Stockport council continues to waste our tax payer money in Bramhall and hazel grove on vast bike lanes and roads unnecessarily when Marple's main road needs attention also this is outline in Section 41 of the Highways Act 1980.
Any help to get this pushed up the list for action would be greatly appreciate. Thanks again Highways team.
Mon 16 January 2023 Sent to Stockport Borough Council FixMyStreet ref: 4136748.
Hi, The A626 Marple from the junction of Hilltop Drive to the Junction of Dale road need resurfacing. The road has a very poor surface and has been dug up and patch repaired and dressing applied but its been over 15/20years since it was last resurfaced and it is overdue. The lines are barley visible on the carriageway any more and there are a large number of depress / uneven grids also. As this is the busiest road in Marple and the only way in and out the traffic volume justifies this essential maintenance.

Large amounts of Andrew Lane are dangerously damaged where piping was replaced about 12 months ago, 16th April
Andrew Lane is extremely dangerous to drive along from the Lyndon Drive entrance to the Windlehurst Road junction. Pipe work was replaced along this stretch about 12 months ago and the road surface is collapsing all along where this work was carried out. It is so bad that it pulls the steering wheel from your hand as you drive, even though this is a 20mph limit

Middlewood Way repaired with terrible loose gravel, 24th February
Middlewood Way was closed just north of the A6 for some weeks, unannounced and with no diversion, I believe by a water company. It had now reopened, but the patch dug up to reposition a manhole cover had been “repaired” with a thick layer of loose, driveway style gravel completely impossible to cycle over. This is not a like-for-like repair of the hard-compacted trail and could be actively dangerous for users because it is so loose and uneven.
Furthermore, the trail north as far as the stables road access has been badly churned and damaged by the heavy vehicles used. This whole stretch now needs a new correct top surface, I don’t see why the water company shouldn’t pay to rectify and lay this given the damage done.

Traffic lights out of sync dangerous for pedestrians, 17th February
When approaching the junction of the A626 with the A627 going from the direction of Marple, there is a traffic light with a stop line on the A626 just before the left turn for the A627. The light was on green as I reached it and so I drove through the junction. A very short distance from this there is another traffic light, but no stop sign on the road. This other traffic light is not a secondary light because it is part of a pedestrian crossing and in the few short yards that it took me to reach it the light was on red. This meant that had there been a pedestrian waiting to cross then they would have been given the green light to do so as the light facing me, on the road was red. This is very dangerous for pedestrians, as since there is no stop line on the road, most drivers would treat this light as a secondary light and proceed through it on red, given there is not stop line on the road. There is also no room for a driver to stop at the red light without either blocking the pedestrian crossing or, blocking right turning traffic trying to get from the A627 onto the A626. The primary light, with the stop line on the A626, and this second light on the pedestrian crossing should be absolutely in sync, as otherwise it puts pedestrians at great risk of being hit by a driver who, seeing no stop sign on the road, would treat the traffic light just before the pedestrian crossing, as a secondary light due to no stop line on the road, and so ignore it. If a driver were to notice it was a pedestrian crossing, and so stop if the light was on red, then they would be a hazard for right turning traffic approaching the junction from the A627, as they would be blocking the junction.
