Work starts at busy junction

COMMUNITY leaders have appealed to motorists to be patient while work is carried out to make a busy junction safer.

The junction of the A523 Macclesfield Road and Rushton Road, near Leek, is to be rebuilt following a number of accidents at the site.

Work is due to start on Monday, April 4 and should last for six weeks. This includes a one-week shutdown over the Easter holiday.

Cabinet member for highways and transport Mike Maryon said he hoped the measures would help slow traffic.

He said: "The work to improve this junction is important as it is about people's safety, which must always be our priority.

"We would like to thank people for their patience and understanding while the work is carried out."
