READER’S LETTER: Cheshire Police must solve more burglaries and thefts

READER’S LETTER: Cheshire Police must solve more burglaries and thefts

Dear Editor,
In Crewe SW and Wistaston, over a period of three years (6/2019-5/2022), Cheshire Police failed to solve a single burglary.

The best performance locally was Nantwich SW, but even there 60 of the 70 burglaries went unsolved.

Re: Coole Lane WILL be gritted after CEC reinstates it to winter programme – By Belinda Ryan, 26th July 2022 (Nantwich News)

I read this article with a mixture of relief and despair; relief that at two dangerous routes have been reinstated to the Cheshire East Council’s gritting routes but despair that so many routes have been effectively ignored.

READER’S LETTER: Crewe Royal Arcade “Art for Who’s Sake?

Dear Editor,
So Cheshire East Council has commissioned a huge public art piece to adorn the side of the Royal Arcade Bus Station as we were told by a fellow Crewe Councillor at Wednesday’s full Council meeting!

Elected members at the meeting looked bemused – many of us knew nothing about it! (It appears we missed the email sent out late the previous afternoon).

Dear Editor,
Cheshire East have sent out letters to many Crewe residents asking them to REMOVE the large stones off the grass verges, in front of their homes, within a month, or they will be sent the bill to remove them.

This is an outrage.

READER’S LETTER: Why are EU tariffs still in place?

READER’S LETTER: Why are EU tariffs still in place?

Dear Editor,
The UK has import tariffs on oranges, bananas, olives, rice etc., that Britain does not produce domestically.

Why? To protect EU countries, who do produce them, from competition. We left the EU on 31/1/20.

Dear Editor,
We are in Cornwall at the moment returning home tomorrow, have yet to see a pothole, in fact we are having withdrawal symptoms due to not having too continually meander to miss holes in the road.

CEC please contact Cornwall Council for advice on road maintenance and management.

READER’S LETTER: North West Crewe Package packs an 80 week punch! – Who knew?

Dear Editor
Anyone living in and around Crewe is now well aware that the A530 Middlewich Road is closed with sections out of bounds until November 2023.

A couple of weeks in and we’ve seen the mayhem caused by the loss of this key route from Nantwich to Middlewich, a ‘confusion’ of diversion signs and have our own ‘personal’ tales to tell of the knock-on impacts.
