Council puts brakes on cycle lane due to 'colossal' costs

Plans have been shared by Stockport town hall and Transport for Greater Manchester to make improvements to bus journeys and active travel along the A6 Corridor, using funding from the Greater Manchester City Region Transport Settlement (CRSTS).

The scheme, along Wellington North Road, provides a link from the boundary of Manchester to Stockport town centre, and is one of the busiest bus routes in the Greater Manchester region.

The plans to redevelop the road aims to make major changes along the A6, with new bus lanes, improved junctions, and enhanced crossings.

It includes a proposal for an eastern and western cycle route, taking cyclists alongside streets around the A6 towards Stockport town centre rather than directly along Wellington Road North.

The scheme also proposes to create a number of new 20mph speed limits on residential streets around the area.
