We are aware of the disruption currently affecting Stalybridge as a result of utility works. Electricity North West are carrying out planned essential upgrades to the infrastructure in the town centre on Corporation Street, which requires a full road closure. This work is being completed ahead of the major town centre improvements starting on 2 February 2026.

In addition, a burst water main occurred this morning on Acres Lane, between Gerrard Street and Gordon Street, which has required an emergency road closure by United Utilities.

We are liaising closely with both utility providers to ensure that these works are completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.

From October to March we can’t make enough vitamin D from sunlight. Government advice is that everyone should consider taking a daily vitamin D supplement during the autumn and winter to keep bones and muscles healthy.

You can get vitamin D from most pharmacies and retailers.
