Dear Editor,
Will someone have to die before the potholes are repaired?
Police only detect 6% of crime….a record LOW.
Less than 6% of potholes in Cheshire East are repaired.
But don’t despair, Labour-run Cheshire East have plenty of money to :
Introduce 20 mph zones
Introduce yet more traffic calming
Introduce yet more cycle lanes, that are never used
Introduce yet more one way systems and
Replace concrete footpaths with tarmac ones, as in Manor Way in Crewe
“Reporting potholes to the council is about as effective as reporting crimes to the police. They both know it’s their responsibility but do nothing about either.”
Cheshire Police chief’s pothole warning amid road collisions

Putting Crewe First, People Before Politics
Not going to get anywhere with Councils these days, as they are ALL saying there is nothing in the budget and then blame Government for not providing enough funding. Roads in Cheshire East are appalling and need fixing. Infrastructure is crumbling. Wrenbury have been campaigning for their potholes to be fixed. I have been campaigning for better speed controls/deterrents on A5l Wardle area, only to be told there wasn’t an issue, yet clearly there is.
Brian, Brian, Brian, cyclists need more cycle paths because cars are destroying the roads, mostly due to poor tyre management.
Cyclists pay taxes to.
Grants are not allowed raised from taxes.
20mph on West St, I often catch cars up on my human powered bike at a lot less than 20mph.
Car park, you do realise that car parks in Crewe are being redeveloped and the spaces need replacing.
As you can see some of us are more aware of reality of spending and planning than yourself who wants to be elected!
I never said all the money comes from the Council budget……but some of it does.Also the grants come from our taxes, so the grants shouldn’t be frittered away on schemes that the public have not asked for.
I never applied to be Chief Executive of Cheshire East and I have not been a member of Cheshire East since 2015.
My point is the money should be spent on fixing potholes etc not on schemes that nobody asked for.
I’ve a solution Brian let’s ban all cars as they caused the potholes.
You do realise most of the things you think come out of the budget like 20 mph zones are grants…. And there we have it you don’t actually know how things work.
Was your application as Chief Executive of Cheshire East unsuccessful Brian. We don’t hear anything from you about how this – or in fact ANYTHING could or should be done despite you being an elected official who allegedly has a saqy in what happens.
