IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PARKING CHARGES TO BE IMPLEMENTED AT WHALEY RAIL STATION:-

Northern Rail have confirmed that they will be going ahead with the introduction of charges for parking in the section that it owns of the car park in front of the Jodrell Hotel.

The company announced last year that it would be imposing the charges at 14 of its stations in the area, but has only recently started implementing them, with charges for Chinley station starting on 07 April. Northern staff have been spotted at Whaley Bridge in recent days, establishing locations for the installation of their ticketing signs. Also parking bays are to be marked out as it’s a shared carpark.

It is understood that the maximum daily charge is £2, with some locations offering a short-stay option for 50p and resident permits for parking from 4pm to 8am.
It's not yet clear whether the latter option will be made available to residents in Whaley Bridge.
At Chinley the system is as follows:

Short-Term Parking (6am - 4pm): 50p for two hours
Resident Parking (4pm - 6am): 50p
24-Hour Parking:
£2 for one day
£14 for a full week.

The operator has not yet confirmed whether the same prices will apply at Whaley Bridge.
We'll update you when we get further information.
Payments can be made through the RingGo app, online, or by phone.

Late update: BUXTON ROAD SHOULD BE OPEN BY 8am MONDAY As Reported By Ruth George.

The contractor has just let me know that as there is no leakage on the road now, and bearing in mind the huge disruption that a closure will cause, it has been decided to open Buxton Road by 8am tomorrow, after the tarmac has fully set.

This is provided that the water leak doesn’t re-start so have everything crossed that it doesn’t 🤞
The closure should no longer show on one.network after the road is reopened so you can check at :
https://one.network/

23/03/2025

BUXTON ROAD CLOSURE UPDATE FROM Ruth George

The hole on Buxton Road created by United Utilities to investigate the water leak has been filled, but as the leak hasn’t been repaired, the road repair is temporary and the road is still formally closed.
‼️Avoid if possible.
‼️And avoid using Old Road to prevent gridlock.
United Utilities have submitted an emergency permit for Buxton Road to remain closed until midnight on Friday to give them time to find the extent of the problem and fix it. Hopefully it won’t take this long and I’ve asked for the work to be prioritised.
Many vehicles are still driving through as most of the Shepherds Arms side of the road isn’t obstructed, but please be aware:
‼️ it could be fully closed by workmen at any time
‼️it will get very congested at busy times and there could be friction between drivers
‼️ if there is any accident when going through a road closure, your insurance company may refuse to pay out
‼️ Buses are not allowed through road closures - the 199 has been going through Chapel to Tunstead Milton then turning at Morten’s factory and returning to the A6 bypass to continue to Bridgemont, missing our Whaley Bridge.
I have again requested traffic lights at the roadworks and for a proper plan for tomorrow morning. I’ve been told the contractors are surveying the issues to create a plan.
I will update further as soon as I hear.

Councillors approve interim plan for North Derbyshire and South Derbyshire councils.

High Peak councillors have given their backing to an interim plan that could see the Council, seven other district and borough councils across Derbyshire and Derby City Council all disappear and be replaced by two unitary councils covering the north of Derbyshire and south of Derbyshire.

They were discussing devolution and local government reorganisation at an Extraordinary Meeting of the Council called to consider an interim submission, which was held in Buxton last night (19 March).

It followed last December's publication by the Government of a White Paper on English Devolution, which included a commitment to abolish all the remaining districts, boroughs, county councils and some small unitary authorities and devolve powers to parts of England currently without a Strategic Authority and/or an elected mayor.

If you travel on a bee Bus Network big things are coming

From 23 March 2025, contactless tap and go will be available for adult fares on Bee Network buses and trams.

Please make sure you keep your Bee Network smart card separate from your payment cards when you tap in. For example, if you keep your card in a purse or wallet, take it out before you tap the smart reader.

Keeping your card separate will make sure you’re not charged the full adult tap and go fare on a payment card you didn’t intend to use.

If you, or someone you’re travelling with uses the Bee Network app to buy tickets, please make sure that any payment cards kept in the back of phone cases are removed, otherwise the reader may charge the card.

Find out more at beenetwork.com/tap-and-go.

Got any questions? Visit their website or call them on 0161 244 1000, Admin team Stockport Tourism

From 23 March, contactless tap and go will be the easiest way to pay for seamless travel across bus and tram on the Bee Network.
