Village Scars: Boulders Block Scenic Views
29 Oct
Summary
- Large boulders and rubble appeared in March, blocking viewing laybys.
- Over 40 tonnes of construction waste is estimated to be present.
- Residents seek council action to restore access and local beauty.
Residents of Mow Cop are calling on their local council to remove large boulders and rubble that have blocked scenic viewing laybys since March. An estimated 40 tonnes of construction waste now obstructs access to these important local spots.
The laybys offer panoramic views across the Cheshire Plains and serve as a starting point for the Gritstone Trail, holding significant local importance. Their current inaccessibility prevents residents from enjoying the areas for relaxation or lunch.
Cheshire East Council acknowledges the concerns and is collaborating with neighboring authorities to find appropriate next steps. A resident expressed hope for a collaborative solution that addresses anti-social behaviour concerns while restoring safe access and the area's natural beauty.
