SOUTH Cheshire MP Stephen O’Brien has met traders in Calveley to discuss their concerns about the financial impact roadworks are having on their businesses.
The traders were led by Philip Twist, proprietor of the Wardle Service Station on Nantwich Road.
Mr O’Brien said: “Unfortunately the roadworks on Nantwich Road are having a massive impact on the turnover and viability of a number of small businesses in the Calveley area and in particular the Wardle Service Station.
“At a time when small businesses are already under incredible pressure - due to the longest and deepest recession since records began - we must do all that we can to assist small independent traders in this their hour of need.
“I will be making urgent representations to the Cheshire East Council on their behalf to press the need for further consultation with local traders on how better signage can negate some of the impact and what additional steps can be taken to speed up the repairs and improve accessibility to local businesses.”
