Patients have been warned to expect delays when visiting Macclesfield Hospital.

East Cheshire NHS Trust has confirmed that a section of the access road to the hospital will be closed for two weeks.

It comes as contractors will be carrying out 'essential repairs' from Monday, November 10, to Sunday, November 23.

"We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding," said a spokesperson for the trust.

The closed section is between the emergency department access road and the main car park, meaning direct access through this route will not be possible.

During this time, access to A&E will be via Victoria Road only.

Access to other areas of the site will be via Fieldbank Road.
