Letters & Opinion
LETTER: CEC should not gamble on “property speculation”
Dear Editor,
Labour-run Cheshire East should NOT be gambling the hard earned Council taxes of local people on property speculation.
In 2019 Labour run Cheshire East bought the B&Q site in Weston Road, Crewe for £22.3m.
LETTER: Why is duel fuel in Cheshire more expensive?
Dear Editor
I contacted you about this on 14th October 2022 and also copied in our MP asking him to contact Ofgem and provide a comment quickly to his constituents through Nantwich News.
The question was – why Cheshire had to pay for Duel Fuel £121 more than the cheapest area?
LETTER: People unaware of photo ID at polling stations
Dear Editor,
The new requirement to show a specific photo ID at polling stations, which kicks in on the 4th May in certain parts of the country, is the biggest change to how we vote in a generation.
It’s going to come as a surprise to many voters – a poll published on the 13th January 2023 found that just 33% of people were aware of this requirement.
LETTER: Parking charges in Cheshire East is “absolute scandal”
Dear Editor,
Labour run Cheshire East plans to increase parking charges in Crewe by a whopping 10%.
Instead of £1.20 for two hours it will be £1.32. Crewe is the biggest but the most economically and socially deprived town in Cheshire East.
LETTER: “Shocking” CEC Labour plan to close libraries on Saturdays
Dear Editor,
Shockingly, Labour-run Cheshire East are proposing to shut libraries on a Saturday and reduce opening hours on other days.
‘Putting Crewe First’ is totally opposed to this.
LETTER: Readers should look at CEC Budget consultation
Dear Editor,
May I ask readers to take a look at the Cheshire East 2023/4 BUDGET consultation.

LETTER: Parts of Crewe town centre in “deplorable state”
Dear Editor,
Parts of Crewe Town centre are in a deplorable state, like the public square in the Market Centre, near to Asda and W H Smith.

LETTER: Not single brick laid as special school costs double

READER’S LETTER: Crewe residents can’t afford police tax rise
Dear Editor
The Police Council Tax in Cheshire has gone up by 7.3%, 13.6%, 5% , 7.1% and 4.4% over the last five years.
Now, amazingly, the Tory Police Commissioner wants to increase the Police Council Tax by a huge 6.4% this year.
READER’S LETTER: Why is CEC planning to build housing on Crewe car parks?
Dear Editor,
Cheshire East are planning to close and build housing on two of the main car parks in Crewe town centre, Delamere Street and Chester Street.
The lost car parking spaces will be replaced by a six-storey 390 place car park, on the Royal Arcade development site in the town centre, costing Cheshire East taxpayers a huge £11,315,315.
READER’S LETTER: CEC committee system “devaluing” elected councillors
Dear Editor
At December’s Full Council meeting Council Leader Sam Corcoran used his “Leader Speaking Time” to bewail rising risks, demand for care services and rising inflation and predicting £20m shortfalls in next year’s budget.

These mums, dads, wives, husbands, partners, daughters, sons can only be saved by someone giving them the greatest gift, the gift of life.
