Cheshire East Council is to carry out drainage investigation and improvement in several locations, including on Sandbach Road South (opposite the Well Pharmacy) and the gully opposite the first house on Cedar Avenue. The provisional list includes Cherry Lane near the Horseshoe Inn.
Their road patching programme includes Crewe Road and Fields Road, but these will require detailed investigation before determining what can be delivered within the allocated budget.
In the 7 days to 15 May there have been 3 cases in Alsager East (rolling rate 46) and fewer than 3 in Alsager West. Cheshire East rolling rate is 21 (14 last week), England is 21 (22 last week).
