Flooding on the A34 – update – December 2025

Flooding on the A34 is an ongoing problem. The Parish Council have flagged the issue with Cheshire East Highways on numerous occasions. They are fully aware of the issue and accept that it requires an extensive programme of works to resolve the issue. There is currently no capital budget available and so they are only able to provide a temporary fix by clearing the silt build up from the soak away tanks. We know this provides only limited benefit and is therefore far from ideal. It therefore remains a risk to road users during heavy rain. We will continue to consult with Highways to ensure the matter remains live.

Update provided by Cheshire East Council on TRACE – 4th December 2025
“The enquiry has been assessed and is being considered for a future programme, in line with other works and locations. This means we are unlikely to do any improvement work here during the current financial year. Our programmes are reviewed on an annual basis and changes may also be necessary to stay within the available budgets.”
