Stidcot Lane resurfaced

 Users of Stidcot Lane, between Tytherington and the Wotton Road had been aware for many months that the road was in an appalling condition.

When Streetcare had to close the road for the resurfacing of the Rectory Lane bend due to frost damage, they took the opportunity to survey the whole 900m stretch back to
Duck St. They agreed with local councillor, Howard Gawler, that the road needed to be resurfaced as an emergency job. This was quickly done over a 5 day period.

Streetcare apologised for closing the road unexpectedly and at short notice, but to do it between peak hours would have taken two weeks and been considerably more expensive.
