The temporary closure order period is always longer than the period of closure needed if all work is carried out according to schedule . The closure period on the legal notice allows extra time for unseen problems or eventualities. The reason for this is that if six months were to be the expected period of the work and a problem arose resulting in a longer period being required a second legal notice would have to be made and the Council Solicitors would need to create a new order and this is a costly business. It is most strange that there there is not a map accompanying the order on display at the site but there should be a copy of the order and map for inspection at Stockport Town Hall reception and also at Marple and Stockport libraries.
