Cadent still have a gas leak on Brabyns and are now trying to repair a new section. They “hope to be finished by 16 April”. Be aware I am asking questions about the long time this is taking.
Windlehurst Road roadworks are now being extended to 13 April.
Be prepared for more delays…

Geoff. The Cadent misery on Brabyn’s Brow rolls ever on and on. What on earth are they doing? There is hardly ever anyone actually working in their holes. Do Cadent just have a blank cheque to work as slowly (and cheaply) as they feel like? What are local councilors doing about this other than ‘asking questions’?
I am fed up too and the local shops even more so. The project manager promised to try to get these old cast iron pipes (3 of them!) replaced and SMBC and the 3 Marple N cllrs are arranging a meeting with them.
