FIXMYSTREET IN SK6 8WT
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of SK6 8WT:
40mm trip hazard in dislodged uneven paving., 23rd April
This paving defect has been there for over a year. I have reported this problem several times over the last 6 to 12 months. Nothing has been done at all. The paving is still very uneven. I have tripped over it once at night when it is not easy to see. It wouldn't surprise me if it has caused many problems, possibly trips and injuries.

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

Bridge collapse on footpath, 21st April
The footpath running between A626/Lower Fold and Bonington Rise has a bridge collapse. There is now approx 15 foot wide and 5 foot deep trench. There is a pipe just uphill of this, so it may have failed/broken, causing this area to be washed away. It is quite dangerous, especially for anyone using the area in the dark. Approx.

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.

The whole road needs resurfacing, 30th January
The whole of Hollins Lane except the very bottom needs resurfacing. Over the years there has been multiple holes dug and patched over to the point now where bits have sunk at different rates or potholes are now present.
It’s a very uncomfortable journey up or down the road and at points some bits have sunk so much compared to others that cars bottom out and hit the surface.

Huge tree blocking pathway, 24th January
The land next to my property as marked is not Stockport council land, nor mosscares. I have spoken to the city of Manchester council, tree surgeons and land registry regarding this. I have to put in a report to land registry but the lady has informed me that it's a long winded process. Children walk to school this way and it's a hazard. I don't know what else I can do. I have paid for land registry records but I am still non the wiser. Surely I shouldn't have to pay to make this safe myself as it isn't actually my property. But I am worried about it being a danger to the public. There is a lot of other much bigger trees in this land which could be blown over with the storm too.

Ice hazard on steep footpath/cycle lane, 29th November
A trickle of water flows across the pavement/cycleway after rain (almost constantly in water). This freezes at sub-zero and leaves a sheet of ice right across the pavement. This is a slide hazard for cyclists going uphill as they are moving slowly. This has been the case for at least three years (sorry I should have reported it before). I think better drainage is needed to diver the flow of water which seems to seep out of the side of the hill. A narrow metal covered gutter across the footpath would be better than the current situation.

Leaves, 29th November
We love the trees but please can we have the leaves removed along Church Lane outside All Saint's Church? There has been a heavy fall followed by rain and the pavement is now very slippy. They also have drifted in the road gutter meaning that cyclists have to ride in the middle of the carriageway. Thanks.
