After public consultations (and effectively a vote) on the subject, the ward name of Marple South will now be Marple South and High Lane.

The area committee that makes local decisions across Marple North and Marple South will still be Marple Area Committee.

That committee sat last night.  Cllr Allan commented that, whilst many (by their online comments) were unsure why this issue came up, true engagement will happen when we involve local groups (and hold our meeting in) places like High Lane and Compstall.

Thank you to all the many residents who actually took part in this process.

Indeed, there are still many things to comment on from free school transport to rights of way to the proposed 2018 constituency boundary changes – Have Your Say here.
