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.

READER’S LETTER: Mystery lady helped us when lost in Wrenbury

READER’S LETTER: Mystery lady helped us when lost in Wrenbury

Dear Editor
We recently had a three day break in your part of the country.

Alas on Thursday 28th October we got hopelessly lost in the Wrenbury/Marbury area.

READER’S LETTER: Are CEC wasting council taxpayers’ money?

READER’S LETTER: Are CEC wasting council taxpayers’ money?

Dear Editor
Labour-run Cheshire East’s Energy Company has lost a whopping £151,000.

It is bad enough that local council taxpayers have recently been forced to pay large increases in the energy costs for their home… they also now have to bail out the council run Energy Company as well!

READER’S LETTER: Concern over Cheshire East “UK100 Network” motion

READER’S LETTER: Concern over Cheshire East “UK100 Network” motion

Dear Editor
At the recent Cheshire East Council meeting (20/10/21), Cllr Quentin Abel presented a notice of motion asking that the Council pledge to join the UK100 Network.

No one can deny Cllr Abel’s commitment or sincerity in bringing this motion to Council and I applaud and support his ambition for a carbon neutral borough.

READER’S LETTER: 20’s Plenty for Cheshire East

READER’S LETTER: 20’s Plenty for Cheshire East

Anybody who has tried to cross a road in a town or village will have been faced with drivers that don’t ‘let’ you cross the road.

They speed away giving little acknowledgement to those trying to cross the road in particular the old and vulnerable.

Weaver at Church Minshull by Kay Doughty

READER’S LETTER: No action plan on flooding in Church Minshull

I was going to write to Prime Minister Johnson about the report we made on roads and flooding issues in our parish but as he doesn’t know us, that wouldn’t work.
