Finally, after months without a service, the council has provided a free shuttle bus service for residents on Buxton Road, Alma Road, Cherry Tree Road and Yew Tree Avenue !  The bus display a sign that read – “Hazel Grove Shuttle Service”.

Months of delays had left these residents without a bus service while the buses that used to travel on the A6 were diverted down the new A6 route until the bus bridge is complete.

As you can see, there is good news with the road to the new bridge now taking shape:

Workmen at the site tell me the road surface is due to be tarmaced this Thursday (7th Dec) and then they will do the pavements.  The official date of December to finally open will hopefully be right this time with the normal bus service resuming soon afterwards.
