Traffic, congestion and planning your journey
Plans are in place to help keep traffic on the
move over the Bank Holiday weekend as thousands of music
fans head to Cheshire for Creamfields.
Around 50,000 people from across the UK and
further a field are expected to attend the event in
Daresbury.
Cheshire Police are working closely alongside the organisers of
the event and representatives from the Highways Agency, the two
local councils and the other emergency services - to ensure that
everything runs as smoothly as possible.
- There will be a significant increase
in traffic coming into the area.
- Majority of festival-goers will be heading to the site on
Friday and Saturday morning - expect
congestion
- Festival-goers will be leaving the festival on Monday
morning - expect congestion
- Be alert as roads will be busier than normal
- Tune into local radio stations for updates if
local roads are congested
- Allow plenty of time for your journey
- Use junctions 11 and 12 of the M56 and junction 7 of the M62
and follow designated routes
- Do not rely on sat-navs - traffic signs will point you in the
right direction
- Stick to the speed restrictions - there will be pedestrians in
the area
Full / partial road closures
Local roads will have full and partial closures
on them - but residents will still be able to gain
access to their homes at all times.
