This page is about getting around and signing up for services. It is not a guide to choosing a street. For the difference between the centre, the estates and the villages, use the newcomer’s guide on this site.
Trains
Macclesfield station is at Waters Green. It is the railhead for the town. If you live further out, check the village station rather than assuming every train stops: Prestbury, Adlington (Cheshire), Poynton, Disley, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow and Chelford each have a station. Bollington, Rainow, Langley, Gawsworth and Sutton do not. National Rail is the place to check times. A station is for people. It is not a loading bay for a removal van.
Buses serve the estates and the centre. Routes change, so use the operator or Cheshire East rather than an old timetable in a drawer. From our base at 34 Market Pl, most local moves are by road in any case.
Schools
Look at the school, then at Cheshire East admissions. Tytherington School is on Manchester Road. Fallibroome Academy is on Priory Lane. Hollinhey Primary is in Sutton, Macclesfield. Rainow, Prestbury, Gawsworth, Adlington, Chelford, Bollington Cross, Hurdsfield, Whirley and Alderley Edge Community Primary all publish their own sites. Poynton High School says it serves Poynton, Disley and Adlington. None of that is an offer of a place. Phone the office from the school site if you want a visit.
Council and health
Cheshire East runs council tax and bins. The information line is 0300 123 5500. Macclesfield Library is on Jordangate, 01625 374000. The hospital on Victoria Road is 01625 421000. NHS 111 is for urgent advice that is not 999. Cheshire Constabulary is 101, or 999 in an emergency.
