More than 30 Nantwich cafes, pubs and restaurants are taking part in the ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ government scheme to boost their trade as lockdown eases.
Local British Airways workers gathered in Nantwich to protest over the company’s bid to fire its workforce and rehire those who “survive on inferior contracts”.
Staff and Union chiefs from Unite called on Crewe & Nantwich MP Kieran Mullan’s support in fighting the company’s plan.
Fencing around Barony Park in Nantwich is more aimed at enhancing the site and may not prevent unauthorised access, a council chief admitted today.
The comments come after a small group of travellers (pictured) were able to gain access to the park at the weekend, despite the new fencing being erected around the perimeter.
A project to dual the A500 between the M6 and Meremoor Moss roundabout has moved closer with £53 million of Government funding secured.
The £68.7 million scheme has now secured programme entry subject to final approval, says Cheshire East Council.
Cheshire East Council has offered Nantwich residents and visitors four days of free car parking later this year.
However, the offer is unlikely to appease many who are angry at parking charges being re-introduced by the authority after suspension of charges during lockdown.
Town councillors are to consider launching a “Nantwich Buddies” scheme to help visitors and shoppers in the town centre.

Crewe & Nantwich MP Dr Kieran Mullan has criticised the decision by the Secretary of State to allow the Muller Development to go ahead in Stapeley.
Nantwich South and Stapeley Conservative Councillors Andrew Martin and Peter Groves have long been against the development as was previous Conservative MP Edward Timpson.
A “Town Board for Crewe” has been created with the aim of developing proposals for up to £25 million in Government funding for the town.
The Board also aims to help deliver other projects in the pipeline, including the Town Centre regeneration and the HS2 station, to ensure all are aligned to the same vision.
Beeston Castle and Tarporley railway station could be reopened as early as December 2022, it emerged today.
It is one of 50 proposals submitted from around the UK to the Government’s “Restoring Your Railway Fund”.
Campaigners who fought to stop the controversial Muller development in Stapeley have called it a “sad day”.
Muller has been granted planning permission by the Secretary of State for the first phase of it’s 1,000-home “Nantwich South” scheme on land between Peter de Stapleigh Way, Audlem Road and the A51 London Road.
