REPAIRS are to take place following a crash.

Emergency services were called to Croxton Lane in Middlewich last week after two cars collided on a narrow bridge.

Temporary traffic measures have been introduced following the crash, with Cheshire West and Chester Council confirming that plans are in place to repair the damaged bridge.

A spokesperson said: “Following the accident, traffic signals, additional signage and a temporary speed reduction were put in place last week by Cheshire West and Chester Council.

“Additional temporary barriers will be installed this week.

“The repairs to the parapet will be carried out as soon as possible.”

Cheshire Police arrived at Croxton Lane at around 3.44pm on Tuesday (September 3).

Upon arrival, officers found grey Seat Ibiza and a white Toyota Rav4 had collided.

Fortunately, there were no injuries but the road did have to be closed for nearly three hours.

A spokesperson for the force said: “At 3.44pm on Tuesday police were called to reports of a collision on Croxton Lane, Middlewich.

“Officers attended and found there had been a collision between a grey Seat Ibiza and a white Toyota Rav4.

“There were no reports of any injuries, but the road was closed while officers dealt with the incident.

“The road reopened at 6.30pm.”

Last month an amended application was submitted to Cheshire East Council, seeking permission to build 66 homes.

Dozens of neighbours have raised objections, with many concerned about the increase of traffic.

Middlewich resident Alan Langley said: "There's been incidents here since my dad was in the fire brigade.

"The road speed needs reducing from Croxton Hall as traffic does not want to give way."

Another resident said: “I live off Croxton Lane and the traffic is terrible, the one-way bridge is already dangerous. More housing along this road is going to cause chaos.”

A third added: “We do not support additional housing in this town without investment in infrastructure, the roads and traffic are terrible and Croxton Lane bridge is dangerous as it is.”
