Campaigners have criticised the £15-million scheme.

Plans to revamp the A6 will be a "free for all" for cyclists who will be sent down "dangerous" back streets, a councillor has warned.

Councillors from Stockport's Communities and Transport Scrutiny Committee raised concerns about the plans at a town hall meeting on September 2. "Nobody uses it, it's dangerous, there's no natural surveillance. I'm really shocked that we've got all this good work with the Interchange and we're wanting to contrast it with putting cyclists - women and kids - up past a working abattoir, past numerous commercial business units that are dangerous.

Mr Wynne said this would raise questions about the value for money of the scheme if the council redeveloped the road and then had to "dig it up" in the near future.
