also on-line. There have been over 42,000 ‘hits’ to ‘the review’
on-line since April, with the greatest number of ‘hits’ in August
with 2,966. ‘the review’ features a wealth of community and development
news about the borough, information on councillors, an A-Z of Council services,
meetings of area committees, and the latest on the review of primary schools.
The latest edition also includes a four page Council annual
report. The electronic site features a search facility which helps users to find
information on subjects of special interest to them. Users can also email articles
to friends and contact Council staff directly with feedback. All Stockport libraries
offer free internet access for local users.

THINK
ROAD SAFETY - BE SAFE AND BE SEEN
As autumn sets in and the clocks go back, Stockport Council’s road safety
team is reminding people to stay safe by being seen when they are out and about.
Pedestrians and cyclists are reminded:
·To wear bright or fluorescent clothing to make sure that they are seen
during the day, especially in dull or misty weather - but remember that fluorescent
clothes won’t show up after dark;
· To wear reflective clothing which will show up in car headlights at
night; · By law, all cycles must have a red rear reflector; · It
is an offence to ride a bike at night without clean, working, white front and
red rear lights.
Councillor Sue Derbyshire, Stockport Council’s Executive Member for Infrastructure,
which includes highways and transport, said: “Last year, during the autumn
and winter months, there were only two serious casualties to children on the roads
in Stockport, but this is two too many.
I urge parents to explain to children why it’s important that they wear
something bright. This year we should be aiming for no casualties at all.”
