READER’S LETTER: Highway Code changes have “positive” impact on safety
Dear Editor,
As the cycling and walking champion for Cheshire East Council I am very grateful for the changes in the highway Code that protect pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders.
Walking around myself I have enjoyed walking over junctions rather than running to get out of the way of a vehicle and I have experienced an overall positive impact to my safety whilst being active than before the changes.
READER’S LETTER: Why is Crewe not in “Education Investment Area”?
Dear Editor,
In 2019 just 65% of children leaving primary school reached the expected standards in reading, writing and maths.
This is a national scandal.
READER’S LETTER: Is CEC “Hiding the Rough with the Smooth?”
Dear Editor,
It’s ‘Budget’ time again at Cheshire East.
Public consultations are over, last year’s performances have been checked and new budget proposals examined.
READER’S LETTER: Animal sentience should enshrined in UK law
Dear Editor,
As a nation of animal lovers we are calling on your readers to speak up for animals to make sure that animal sentience becomes enshrined in UK law.
Animal sentience was the only issue which was not carried over after Brexit and so the RSPCA has been campaigning to ensure the needs of sentient animals are taken into account by Governments when making policy decisions.
READER’S LETTER: Campaign on perilous pathway rewarded
Dear Editor,
I am pleased that after my years of campaigning a permanent footpath is close to completion adjacent to the 150 dwelling Bellway ‘Kingfisher Reach’ housing estate on Wistaston Green Road in Wistaston.
READER’S LETTER: Covid and bin collections: the dirty facts
Dear Editor,
Last week, Cheshire East’s Waste Collection Service, ANSA announced the difficulties they were experiencing in maintaining bin collections due to Covid-related staff sickness and staff shortages – a situation repeated across the country.
This week, I received a positive CPR test and am self-isolating.
READER’S LETTER: Kieran Mullan – time to get serious tackling Covid!
Dear Editor,
To Kieran Mullan MP – just when are we going to get serious about tackling Covid and start doing the same as the rest of the world?
Compulsory wearing of face masks everywhere as this is an airborne virus.
READER’S LETTER: Delays result in gritting concerns kicked into Spring
On 7th January 2022, since being cut from the winter gritting routes by CEC, yet another serious road incident caused by icy conditions occurred on Coole Lane, near Audlem.
My colleague, Cllr Rachel Bailey (Audlem) referred to the “carnage” now occurring on this lane which has highlighted the unacceptable costs to road users, blue light services and to Cheshire East Council being incurred by this poorly considered policy.
READER’S LETTER: Priority needed for Covid testing queues
Dear Editor,
I’m sure you are sick of Covid as much as the rest of us.
But I went for a pcr test in Crewe yesterday with my 14-year-old as it’s been Xmas.
READER’S LETTER: Take part in Speed Management Strategy consultation

The Cheshire East Speed Management Strategy is out for consultation until 31st January, following on from the Motion passed at Council in Nov 2020.
We need your help to shape this strategy to implement 20mph speed limits on local roads, housing estates and in town and village centres and 40mph on country lanes.
READER’S LETTER: Communities on slashed gritting routes left out in cold
Dear Editor,
It’s now nearly two years since I ‘called in’ the CEC Labour/Independents Cabinet decision to cut winter gritting routes and six months since a decision was made somewhere in the corridors of Cheshire East Council, that despite a second consultation, confirmed the cutting of miles of the highways network from the Adverse Winter Weather gritting scheme.
READER’S LETTER: Three days of carnage on Coole Lane
Dear Editor,
To Cllrs Browne and Corcoran.
In launching your 2022/23 budget consultation you claim a balanced four-year budget but totally ignore the impact of ‘your policy’ of cuts to rural areas and passing on cost to Parish Council’s via your ‘highway pilot top up scheme/price list’.
