Extensive road improvements have begun in Cheadle with highways crews carrying out essential repairs on the A522 Tean Road between the junction of Charles Street to the junction of Huntley Lane.
The work, sees carriageway potholes fixed by a thermal road repair machine and vegetation being cut back along with repairs to kerbs, ironwork, footways and signs.
Mark Deaville, Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet member for strategic highways (pictured), said: “We’re pleased to see this improvement work underway in Cheadle, as quality roads are essential for keeping everyone connected and safe.
“Our goal is to limit any disruption to the community, which is why we’ve scheduled work during off-peak hours, planned only a single road closure, and ensured access to local properties and businesses remains open throughout.
“The county council remains committed to fixing more roads, which is why we’ve invested an additional £8 million to address potholes and drainage concerns across Staffordshire, on top of the £50 million we’ve allocated for highway maintenance and improvements over the next three years.”
