🍂Keeping Alderley Edge pathways accessible🍂

As Autumn sets in and we are tidying our gardens before Winter, here is a gentle reminder to local residents to take a look at your hedges and check whether they are starting to grow over the pavement. Keeping pavements and pathways clear is really important to make our village accessible, particularly for people using wheelchairs, mobility scooters and walking aides, parents with pushchairs and children walking to school.

We want to send a big 'Thank you' to everyone who already keeps their boundaries well maintained and helps keep Alderley Edge an accessible and welcoming place.

Whilst Cheshire East Council is responsible for public roads and pavements in Alderley Edge, you may not realise that most hedges and trees overhanging public roads and footways are privately owned. Property owners are responsible for ensuring these are safe and do not cause an obstruction.

Where a hedge or tree is causing an obstruction, Cheshire East Council may contact the owner and ask them to cut it back. If the work is not carried out, the Council may undertake it and recover the cost.

If you have a concern about a tree or hedge that needs attention, you can report it to the Council’s highways team using TraCE on the Cheshire East Council website.

Please see bin collection information from Cheshire East Council for Thursday, if you have had a missed collection, please report via the Cheshire East website.

With the exception of three crews collecting recycling in Knutsford, Prestbury and Over Peover, bin collection rounds are operational as normal today for scheduled black bin (refuse), recycling collections and garden waste for subscribers.

Our bin collection crews are working hard to complete as many rounds as possible, but temperatures remain very high across Cheshire East, and the conditions are tough for our crews to work in.

To keep them safe, our crews need to wear full protective clothing. They cover miles on foot each day, and so the extreme heat is really having an impact, and rounds are taking longer to complete. It means we may not be able to get to all collections this week.

We thank you for your patience and we'll do all we can to return to any missed collections. Cheshire East Council website will continue to be kept updated with the latest information.

We’d also like to say a big thank you to those residents who’ve offered kind words, waves and encouragement to our crews this week – they really appreciate it!
