Dear Editor,
Crewe and Nantwich have paid many £MILLIONS in car parking charges since Labour-run Cheshire East was formed in 2009.
However, amazingly, since 2009, NINE towns in Cheshire East have not paid a penny in car park charges.
How has this discrimination against Crewe and Nantwich been allowed to continue for 14 years?
Why haven’t the NINE Labour Cheshire East councillors in Crewe, which includes the Labour Parliamentary Candidate for Crewe and Nantwich, and the Labour-run Crewe Town Council, done anything about it?
Crewe First asked the Local Government Ombudsman to intervene to stop this gross unfairness, but, outrageously, they decided not to.
In 2022/23 Crewe paid £670,000 and Nantwich paid £685,997 in car park fees.
Yours faithfully,
Cllr Brian Silvester
Leader Crewe First
Try living in Macclesfield or Congleton where we get nothing. Spend £11.2 million on Crewe infrastructure for a now defunct HS2 but we’re even getting our refuse disposal sites closed.
It’s called politics.
It’s the same old story,
The money taken for parking in Crewe and Nantwich is not spent maintaining our carparks.
The money is spent on the likes of Sandbach, Congleton, Macclesfield ect.
Disgusted motorist.
Sandbach Town Centre are keeping free carparking. Why are we paying for this?
I guess they have their reasons !
