LETTER: The Cheshire East towns not paying a penny on parking

LETTER: The Cheshire East towns not paying a penny on parking

Dear Editor,
Crewe and Nantwich have paid many £MILLIONS in car parking charges since Labour-run Cheshire East was formed in 2009.

However, amazingly, since 2009, NINE towns in Cheshire East have not paid a penny in car park charges.

LETTER: The things that Scots get for free

LETTER: The things that Scots get for free

Dear Editor,
This is truly shocking. The list of things that Scots get for free …….which the English have to pay for…… goes on forever.

Why aren’t English MPs demanding that the English are given the same free services?

Dear Editor,
Cheshire East has (until now) offered simple, quality waste disposal.

Some councils require items to be separated across multiple boxes and the correct one to be carried to the roadside on a six-week rotating cycle.

LETTER: Urgent action to revive Crewe town centre

We need an urgent action plan to revive Crewe town centre. Town centres are like a house of cards.

LETTER: Why more traffic in Crewe and Nantwich than before pandemic?

Dear Editor,
Prior to Lockdown in March 2020, traffic was busy at rush hour throughout our area, Nantwich Road as an example etc.

Since we came out of the pandemic traffic queues have got much bigger, Nantwich Road from the B&Q roundabout to past Manor Road towards Nantwich are an example.

LETTER: A Cheshire East Paradox in Planning AND Partnership

Dear Editor,
At last week’s full Council meeting we witnessed an irate Independent Leader attempt to hold his Labour partners to account, as they kicked-back over scrapping the Strategic Planning Board to save money.

He spectacularly failed!

LETTER: Stop turning our town into a tip

LETTER: Stop turning our town into a tip

Dear Editor,

Paper torn up and thrown onto the footpath by pupils from Malbank School who obviously have no respect for the town that they are being educated in.
