READER’S LETTER: Thanks to teenagers for helping attacked dog

I want to thank the group of teenagers who helped when my dog was attacked on 29th November.

It was about 5.40pm at the crossroads of Manor Road and Beam Street in Nantwich.

READER’S LETTER: Disappointed over MP’s sewage vote “bluster”

READER’S LETTER: Disappointed over MP’s sewage vote “bluster”

Dear Editor,
I was disappointed by the irrelevant bluster that Dr Mullan threw at us as justification for his voting to allow water companies to dump raw sewage onto our rivers and on to our beaches.

Under current laws many water companies have been fined for just this practice.

READER’S LETTER: Fight for your Parish Council to survive

READER’S LETTER: Fight for your Parish Council to survive

Dear Editor,
The Tory MP for Crewe and Nantwich has drawn attention on Facebook to the proposed abolition of the Leighton Parish and he has rightly requested residents to take part in the consultation.

He stated that the proposal is to merge Leighton with Crewe Town Council.

Dear Editor,
Cheshire East Council followed the correct procedures in consulting with Acton Parish Council – Dorfold Hall lies within the Parish – on their application to extend the existing entertainment licence and with amendment approving it.

READER’S LETTER: The CEC parking charges conundrum!

READER’S LETTER: The CEC parking charges conundrum!

Dear Editor,
At its September meeting the Highways & Transport Committee rejected proposals for standardised parking zones across Cheshire East.

Whilst these might have introduced consistency across the borough, there were two main drivers

READER’S LETTER: Shocked to see Nantwich trees chopped down

READER’S LETTER: Shocked to see Nantwich trees chopped down

Dear Editor,
I had hoped that the few remaining mature trees, on the River Weaver riverbank and adjacent to the redevelopment of the former gasworks off Welsh Row in Nantwich, would be spared the cull.

READER’S LETTER: MP should justify Environment Bill sewage vote

READER’S LETTER: MP should justify Environment Bill sewage vote

Dear Editor,
None of us likes the thought of sewage in our rivers and on our beaches. It’s disgusting to look at, smelly and unhygienic.

It appears, however, that our MP, Keiran Mullan, disagrees with that, and presumably thinks that raw sewage in our rivers and coastal waters isn’t that bad.

READER’S LETTER: Pay Morrisons shop floor workers fairly

READER’S LETTER: Pay Morrisons shop floor workers fairly

Dear Editor,
The sale of Morrisons shows how valuable the business is, yet the supermarket continues to undervalue its shop floor workers.

If Clayton, Dubilier & Rice are willing to invest £7.1 billion in the supermarket, clearly they believe in the strength of the business.

READER’S LETTER: Where are the poppies on lamp-posts?

READER’S LETTER: Where are the poppies on lamp-posts?

Dear Editor
Have you noticed that in the Nantwich Town Council area there is not a poppy adorning any of the lamp-posts?

Other towns seem to have embraced the sense of Remembrance time, reminding us that the Poppy Appeal needs our support to continue the sterling work the RBL does in supporting the Armed Forces, past and present.

READER’S LETTER: What is this CEC administration hiding from?

READER’S LETTER: What is this CEC administration hiding from?

Dear Editor,
Why is this Independent / Labour administration hiding from public scrutiny?

It is cancelling the November council meeting after having taken a mauling at the October meeting for a harsh and uncaring winter gritting plan and a car parking policy lost to the wilderness.

READER’S LETTER: Time CEC listened to their residents

READER’S LETTER: Time CEC listened to their residents

Dear Editor
For the second time this year, Cheshire East Independent and Labour Leadership has cancelled the planned full council meeting due to lack of business!

If they listened to their residents and to my Conservative colleagues, they would hear the calls for discussion and debate about so many things.

READER’S LETTER: Real impact of CEC winter gritting cuts will be felt

READER’S LETTER: Real impact of CEC winter gritting cuts will be felt

Dear Editor
Each day more and more residents are finding out that Winter Gritting is being cut from some of our rural and semi-rural roads.

They are only now realising how that will affect them and they are expressing their feelings of displeasure and outrage at this decision, taken recently, by Cheshire East’s Labour/Independent administration.

READER’S LETTER: Have gritting fears been listened to by CEC?

READER’S LETTER: Have gritting fears been listened to by CEC?

Dear Editor,
Two years on, does it sound like the Independent/Labour Alliance at Cheshire East Council are finally recognising their failure to take or consider a paramount responsibility, that of safety of its residents.
