Public footpath closures and diversions

Bredbury and Romiley

Footpath 6

We're making an order under Section 14 (1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 as amended by the Road Traffic (Temporary Restrictions) Act 1991.

We'll temporarily close part of footpath 6 from Compstall Road for 60 metres in a north-easterly direction to the bottom of the slope. Traffic signs to that effect will be in place on or near the footpath.

This order is necessary to allow work to take place due to flood damage on the steps.

We expect that the work will last for a maximum of 6 months.

Alternative routes will be from the closure point in a south-easterly direction to St Paul's Church, Compstall.

This order will come into operation on 25 January 2026, and will have effect for 6 months, unless works are finished earlier.

The reference number for this order is JO/9706576.
