So what should the workers do for the rest of the year!  Along with all the equipment.

WHY NOT IN SCHOOL HOLLS .

Probably because of the other works near Rose Hill station which did take place in the school holidays. I presume they wouldn't want two sets of work at the same time, although there might well have been time to fit in both jobs at different times during the holidays.

And then they will start on Station Road - it's all good fun, isn't it?  Still, it does need doing before winter sets in.

Is this bit of road really so bad? I can think of several far worse around here

Hi @Dizzy Penguin

The words are not mine, they are from Stockport Council. However, my own interpretation is that the lights will only be operational while they are working between those hours. It'll be a bit of a nightmare if they are on during peak times, so I hope I'm right!

They have added an update too that I think confirms this:

14th - 23rd September: Marple Road, Offerton

Contractors working on behalf of Stockport Council will be carrying out resurfacing works to the carriageway on Marple Road, Offerton from Bean Leach Road to Offerton Green.

The work will require temporary traffic signals between 9.30am and 3.30pm.

Sorry Mark, not clear from your message, do you know if the traffic lights are only operating during those hours or will they be on permanently with only the actual work being carried out between those hours?
