The reopening of a Crewe cobbled road has been pushed back until the end of April - following over two months of work at the West End site.

Goddard Street closed to motorists on Monday 30 January and will remain so until Friday 28 April.

The initial eight-week road closure was recently pushed back another four weeks from Friday 31 March.

This delay allows United Utilities to complete drainage and water works for a new 73-home Guinness Partnership housing development.

United Utilities are installing a 225mm pipe drainage run beneath Goddard Street - lifting up the cobbled road and a Dunwoody Way roundabout in the process.

Works are being completed by J&P Engineering Limited.

Goddard Street is one of the last remaining full cobbled roads in Crewe - along with Hill Street.

In February, Cheshire East Council confirmed the cobbled road will be 'fully reinstated' following the drainage work.

A council spokesperson told Nub News: "The works taking place in Goddard Street, Crewe, are being undertaken by contractors for United Utilities and concern drainage work. 

"There is a condition that the road is fully reinstated with the cobbles that have been lifted."

Work officially started for the Goddard Street housing scheme in October 2022. It is targeted to be completed in 2024.

Goddard Street is one of the last remaining cobbled roads in Crewe - along with Hill Street (Ryan Parker).

The development will see 31 two- and three-bedroom houses for shared ownership and 42 one- and two-bedroom flats for affordable rent (for over 55s).
