Cheshire East Council, working in partnership with Stockport Council, is to hold a pre-planning consultation on the Poynton Relief Road scheme.
Running from 5th October until 30th November 2015, the consultation gives residents, businesses and local groups the opportunity to have their say on the preferred route and design before a planning application is submitted.
As part of the consultation, six public exhibitions are being held where residents can see designs for the proposed Poynton Relief Road in detail and learn more about the scheme. The events will be held on the following days:
- Friday October 16 (1pm-5pm) at Poynton Methodist Church (SK12 1RB)
- Saturday October 17 (10am-4pm) at Poynton Town Hall (SK12 1RB)
- Monday October 19 (3pm–8pm) at Legh Arms, Adlington (SK10 4NA)

- Wednesday October 21 (10am–4pm) at Woodford Community Centre (SK7 1PS)
- Thursday October 22 (2pm–7pm) at Woodford Community Centre (SK7 1PS)
Team members will be available at these events to answer questions.
Residents who are unable to attend the events can also find out more about the proposals and have their say online at the Cheshire East Council website.
