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.

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.

Streetlight No 72 Buxton Road, 8th April
The council have forgotten to put a matching streetlight opposite the black heritage style one on the right. (arrows show in photo) This has now been done at the other end of Great Moor, similar to other towns in Stockport, where two match on each side of the road as the 'entrance' to the area. This one here at the Stockport Grammar end has been forgotten about and I would like to know if this is planned to be replaced (Streetlight No 72)? I also presume the streetlights in between this area will be painted black, like as done recently in Davenport and Hazel Grove. Thank you

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.

Massive Dangerous Pothole, 8th January
Hi, on Marple Road A626 before the junction of fog brook close there is a huge 3metre long pothole which has appeared due to the flooding in the road in this area. It needs fixing asap as it’s unavoidable to all road users and will start breaking down the rest of the road around it. Thanks

Both grids on either side of the road are absolutely full of soil . These floods join up and you can’t cross the cross without getting your footwear soaked and disabled people can’t see where the access is to the edge of the pavement . Been like this for months

Blocked street drains, 2nd January
The grids have been blocked for over a year, the drains don’t get cleaned even though I live there is a list of street and dates when they have and should be done. They aren’t, a month ago I saw a drain cleaner on Sydney street. They said they were doing the side streets before Hempshaw lane, they have never came back. The houses have basements build on clay and are not far off the water table. With all the heavy rain my basement is starting to flood, a neighbour at 460 had already had to fit submersible pump to deal with it. I’ll contact united utilities too. Any response would be appreciated!
