Good day for Bramble Bashing. Thanks to the 7 volunteers who were able to clear the path and make the available space wider for path users.

Welcome to CycleWilmslow

Manchester Road Cycleway Safety

We have been working with Cheshire East Council on their plans to improve the Manchester Road Cycleway with the production of a new Active Travel Route that will be designed to make the route safer and easier with a number of new improvements.

Recently we have increased our pressure on Cheshire East around this project due to the sad death of Emma Smallwood on a stretch of Manchester Road near the boundary of Wilmslow and Handforth – a location where another person was killed seven years ago. This project has been stalled for some time, and with the growing data showing the safety issues around painted and unprotected cycleways, we feel that we needed to push harder. As such, we have published this open letter –

CycleWilmslow was formed in 2009 to supersede MaccBUG (Macclesfield Bicycle User Group) which was formed in 1999.

It is a non-political community organisation campaigning for better cycling provision in Wilmslow, Handforth, Alderley Edge, Styal and Morley.

It forms part of the Cheshire East Cycling Campaign (CECC) umbrella group.

Campaigns include:

  • Better cycle parking in Wilmslow town centre and district centres.
  • Improved cycling provision for Wilmslow High School and other schools.
  • Bypassing the 81 steps on the cycle route from Wilmslow to Dean Row.
  • Development of a route through The Carrs to Styal and Manchester Airport.
  • An off-highway link to the Carrs from Lacey Green.
  • Extension of the cycle path alongside the A538 near Morley.
  • Improvements to the Kings Arms roundabout.
  • National Standard cycle training provision at Wilmslow area schools.
We’d welcome other ideas and suggestions.
