Dear Editor,
So the Cheshire East Council budget has now been set, a complex document that will bill residents another 2.99% council tax and describes which services will be delivered.
But the legal obligation of councils to deliver a balanced budget, inevitably results in the annual ‘turbulence’ of councillor, accountancy and political opinion as experienced this week.
Dear Editor,
On Thursday (24/2/22) at Cheshire East Council, I sat listening with sadness to the pleas of my fellow Conservative Cllrs as they repeatedly asked the Labour and Independent Coalition to not vote through their 2.99% Council Tax proposed budget for 2022/23.
Bake sales are a great way to raise some quick funds for charity, school events, community wellness, or any other purpose.

Dear Editor,
We had an interesting meeting at Cheshire East Council (24/2/22) when the members were called to debate and discuss the budget for 2022/23.

A risk assessment is a process of identifying hazards in a space so that steps can be taken to prevent yourself and others from being hurt or injured.
It is vital to everyone’s safety that such assessments be carried out – especially in the workplace, where employers have a duty of care to their employees and anyone else who could potentially be at risk.

Dear Editor,
Cheshire Police are proposing to close 11 helpdesks at stations around the county, including the one in Nantwich.
Only five will remain open. Each will serve a population of over 200,000. This is a crazy idea.
Whether you work from home or in a typical office, there are some hazards and potential dangers that are more troublesome than others.

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.
Dear Editor,
In 2019 just 65% of children leaving primary school reached the expected standards in reading, writing and maths.
