Chair @CllrKennyBlair was wearing his Christmas jumper but it soon got serious with one of the longest items I've even witnessed.

There was a very good presentation from Marple Neighbourhood Forum too.

The agenda for the Marple Area Committee Meeting on Wednesday 13 December has been published.

As usual doors open around 5.30pm and the meeting starts at 6pm.

There is quite a lot being discussed at this meeting, including the Hibbert Lane Section 278 Works covered in this thread:

As part of a Working Group Review earlier this year the Area Committee agreed to engage more with the Marple Website to try and raise awareness and promote the meetings.

As an outcome of this the new Marple Website features a new page about Marple AC that tries to explain in simple terms what they do and how you can get involved.

That page is here: http://www.marple.website/marple-area-committee.html

The new page includes a map of the Marple Wards so you can see exactly where the boundaries of Marple North and Marple South and High Lane are. It also features a live feed from the Stockport Council web site at the bottom that shows links to the latest agendas issued, meetings held etc.

For ease, here is a direct link to the agenda too:

The Future of Manchester Airport -  There is no public transport that works for people living in Marple and working in the Airport area.   This needs addressing due to the number of jobs being created by the likes of Amazon near the airport.   However it is hard, as most of the jobs are not within walking distance of the bus stops at the airport.

I know that this is not marple area but the 330 bus ashton  every other one from ashton now runs to the airport ihave been informed of this today .it goes to bus station stockport then
              to airport only been running two weeks dont have a timetable as yet will look  on the website for info on this .
