managed\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>The latest assessment by Network Rail and Northern Trains has now concluded that Cheadle station can be introduced without removing a significant barrier that had put the project at risk.<\/p>\n<p>It showed that the risks of delay to services along the line can be reasonably managed and shouldn\u2019t be considered a reason to stop further progress on the project.<\/p>\n<h3>Cheadle will be served by the rail network for the first time in 60 years<\/h3>\n<p>The breakthrough follows a long campaign by Stockport Council and partners to secure permission for the station, which reconnects Cheadle to the rail network for the first time in 60 years and improves access to jobs, education and opportunities across the region.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cheadle Station has always been about improving connections, creating opportunities and making it easier for people to travel for work, education and leisure, and I am delighted that the highways work can now start on site later this month thanks to the persistence and partnership of all involved,\u201d Roberts commented.<\/p>\n<p>Work on the highway near the station\u2019s location will now commence following months of detailed technical work.<\/p>\n<h3>Shaping the future of public transport in Stockport<\/h3>\n<p>The construction of Cheadle station can now be added to the growing list of transport transformation happening in the borough of Stockport.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the award-winning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/stockport-interchange-development-providing-skills-and-training-for-young-people\/113410\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stockport Interchange<\/a> and plans moving forward to bring Metrolink trams to the borough, Cheadle station will help create a new generation of transport connections that support homes, jobs, businesses and investment.<\/p>\n<p>Together, these projects are shaping the borough\u2019s future as one of the best-connected destinations in the north of England.<\/p>\n<p>Brian Bradley, chair of the Cheadle Towns Fund Board, concluded: \u201cThis is a fantastic milestone for Cheadle and a moment that many people have worked hard to achieve over a number of years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stockport.gov.uk\/cheadle-towns-fund\/cheadle-railway-station\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Towns Fund Board<\/a> has always recognised the transformational impact that a new railway station can have, not only by improving connections but by supporting local businesses, attracting investment and helping to secure Cheadle\u2019s long-term economic future.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a major milestone for one of Stockport\u2019s most anticipated transport
