Update: The council have now stated on their Facebook page that the bollards will be moved in a few days. We do still have concerns about the proposed plans for Corporation Street being made into a single lane. The deliveries for the bars, cafes and shops often take time and will completely block the road causing congestion at the crossroads at Trinity Street. Please continue to share this petition, we need more discussion and better communication of the plans. Good pavements and roads that are safe and functional and look good are important but we need the powers that be to be aware of the practicality and safety implications. Thanks

Businesses in Stalybridge, particularly on Corporation Street and Melbourne Street are concerned about the current road closure at Castle St/Melbourne St and the proposed changes to Corporation Street. All signatories of this petition believe that the changes will affect businesses directly, create more traffic congestion and potentially be harmful to the town centre economy. The signatories are expressing their concerns to the council and the levelling up team by way of signing this petition and would appreciate a review of the proposed planned works.
