Of course in their sustainability assessment they big up how accessible the site is by bicycle. And the care home will naturally include a nice large carpark. 34 spaces.

Plans for a new 80 bedroom care home on the Macc Rugby Club site (Priory Lane) include bike parking. Just space for 4 bikes for staff and visitors. At best, that's two Sheffield stands. But I doubt it will be that good.

Another small trial will suit Cllr Goldsmith very well. It keeps the pressure off him, will take ages and will prove nothing. Perfect. He lied about the previous triald. No evaluation was done. They were funded externally and removed as soon as the TTROs expired.

Just written to local Councillors about 20mph limits. Not expecting a response.

Coare Street in Macc. Can't say that I have ever been in. The landlord used to be a Councillor ISTR.

14th October a motion about 20mph limits in Cheshire East. Please write to your local Councillor if you want them to support this.

Emailed our MP about the proposed pay per mile charge for EVs. I have suggested that there should be a multiplier for size and weight. Not all EVs are equal.

Can't help thinking these may give a false sense of security.

This black unit is the intercom unit to give access to a ward in a general hospital. Above it is a notice with instructions on using it. It's completely inaccessible to anyone in a wheelchair.

No. I went back to the Town Council. They got the Rangers to do it. The problem with the secateurs route is getting rid of the cuttings. The Rangers are usually very fast.

To my great surprise a driver has been ticketed for blocking the dropped kerb by the pedestrian entrance to Macc Hospital. She was there on her phone. A nurse.

Now fixed. Bushes cut back. Path clear for all. Success.

Roadworks in Holmes Chapel. No ramps installed, so impassable by wheelchair users. The ramps were in the works further down the road. The workers just didn't bother to install them. Reported to CEC.

...and predictably Highways has responded to say it's nothing to do with them and have referred it to estates - who never respond. However, I have another plan.

Every driver will tell you that their trip is essential, and cannot be done other than in a car. Probably 80% will be wrong about that.

Macc Sustainable Travel @fhvjhvgvb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Sadly they have asked me to refer it to CEC - who don't prioritise footways.

I don't think they look at this account unfortunately.

Local Green Councillor John Knight is working hard on getting more 20mph limits in Cheshire East. Hopefully, some other CEC Councillors are supporting his initiative.

Requested the Town Ranger to cut back bushes on a local urban footway. They are usually good at this so hopefully it will get done.

A pedestrian has been knocked down by a driver by the Kennedy Avenue shops in Macc. Unfortunately, she appears to have been seriously injured. A road that should have a 20mph and a crossing: but doesn't. Macc Councillors must take some blame: but won't.

I'm an unexpected twist, a local campaigner has emailed Avanti and they said they have plans to improve the bike storage at the station.

I did. But the system is flawed!

Wanted to report a road surface problem to Cheshire East. It's likely to be especially problematic for cyclists. Unfortunately their online system has no category for the road surface.

We have one of those coffee pots. I think it's double walled for insulation so I'm surprised it works over direct heat!

Cycle parking at Macc Station remains a problem with the reduced inside storage all too often running near or at capacity. Fortunately, Avanti's tenure is coming to an end soon.

I can't imagine being a Councillor and not replying to emails myself.

And still no reply. It's very rare for some of our Councillors to reply to the general public.

Glad to hear that his move was nothing to do with avoiding tax; obviously.
