Road closures and diversions

Ladybrook Valley

We're working with Transport for Greater Manchester to further unlock the health and environmental benefits of active travel. We're delivering a network of fully inclusive routes to make walk, wheel and cycle journeys safer and more attractive, and universally accessible for all.

Supported by the government’s Active Travel Fund (Tranche 4), our works at Ladybrook Valley involve an upgrade of the route along the river between Bramhall Park Road and Ladybridge Road for shared pedestrian and cyclist use. This is to provide a missing link in a route between Hazel Grove and Cheadle, with spurs and connections to local destinations and the wider active travel network.

Construction from March 2026

From the week of 23 March for roughly 4 months, we'll be building a new path along the public right of way adjacent to the river between the bottom of Ramillies Avenue and Ladybridge Road, with a connection to Blenheim Road.

The existing public right of way routes connecting Ramillies Avenue, Ladybridge Road and Blenheim Road will need to be closed for the duration of the works, so the works can be carried out safely and efficiently. There'll be no public access to the fields. Please respect the barriers in place, diversion routes will be clearly signed.

The works will generally be taking place on weekdays between 7:30am and 5:30pm, with evening and weekend working only if required. The main site access and compound area will be beyond the end of Ramillies Avenue, with some construction access via Blenheim Road. Local roads will be used sensitively and with care, with construction movements restricted during school drop-off and pick-up times.

With this in mind, we ask you to please park with consideration of the usage of the area by construction traffic during the works.

All works are being carefully planned and co-ordinated to manage disruption as much as possible. Works between Bramhall Park Road and Ramillies Avenue are being planned to follow the above and will be communicated in advance.

We'll provide up-to-date information about the works on this page.
