A notorious stretch of road in Alsager which is so badly damaged with potholes and an uneven surface that it was discussed in Parliament is to be repaired shortly.

Alsager Cheshire East councillor, Rod Fletcher, has had notification that work will be carried out in January.

He said: "After over four years of promises, the provisional date for resurfacing Lawton Road between Wesley Place and Bank Corner is now provisionally proposed for the 14^th January 2026."

"I'm pleased to confirm that the lining works on the previously micro-resurfaced section have now been completed." Cllr Fletcher was told.

"In addition, the resurfacing works for the section between Wesley Place and Bank Corner are provisionally scheduled to commence on 14th January 2026.

"We appreciate your patience while these improvements are carried out and remain committed to delivering a safer and better-quality road surface for all users."

 Residents have complained vigorously about the state of Lawton Road in the centre of Alsager so much so that local MP, Sarah Russell raised the subject in the House of Commons.

She said then: "It's a major part of the town centre and the degeneration of the road is making it look less attractive than otherwise it could.

"Do you agree with me that these are important points not just for the state of our roads but for the whole of the local economy?"
