Following the ongoing safety concerns of the Alsager Road A500 slip road, the Parish Council has commissioned a report by SCP Ltd to look at the transport assessment provided by the applicant for the proposed development covered by planning application 25/00346/OUT.

The proposals comprises of six large warehouses and a lorry park for 200 heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), on land near M6 Junction 16, adjacent to Moat Lane and Park Lane. The main access would be from the A500, approximately 200 metres before the M6 roundabout. Traffic lights would control vehicles turning right across the eastbound A500.
