2 mile daily tailback going North to Monks Heath crossroads

Reported via desktop in the Permanent Traffic Lights category anonymously at 22:00, Wednesday 20 September 2023

Sent to Cheshire East Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 5015558.

Every morning there is about 2 miles of queue going northwards past Capesthorne Hall towards Monks Heath crossroads/ traffic lights at about 8am. The traffic lights need altering so that more traffic can go through them northwards towards Manchester to prevent the queues of 15-20 minutes causing commuter misery and traffic pollution from idling stationary vehicles. Nothing has been done since I reported this issue a few months ago, please action this urgently. There aren’t even any roadworks and there must be a couple of hundred vehicles queuing at any one time at rush hour due to one set of traffic lights which is unacceptable. The queues go back from the Monks Heath crossroads in Nether Alderley to near Siddington crossroads on the A34. This has happened for years. Regards
