Residents fury at 'absolute nightmare' roadworks set to last for SIX MONTHS

Residents have taken to social media to complain after spotting a sign warning of roadworks in Altrincham planned for over SIX MONTHS.

The works, which the council say will also benefit active travel through new cycle lanes, will be delivered in two phases with George Street in the town being resurfaced and Regent Road becoming one way. New trees will be planted on George Street along with sustainable drainage and green areas and work to Market Street will involve the reversal of the existing one way system.

But some residents are less than impressed with the timescale and after one Facebook user, Alex McCann, posted a picture of the road sign saying work would start on October 24, for 26 weeks, many responded with fury.
