Dear Editor,
This is how #CreweFirst would revive Crewe Town Centre.
Labour-run Cheshire East needs to re-think plans for Crewe Town Centre…and urgently… before the entire Town Centre collapses like a house of cards.
A pigeon rescued after being trapped in the rafters of a bus station has been nursed back to health by RSPCA staff at Stapeley Grange in Nantwich.
The bird was seen trapped by its wing and hanging from the top of Chester Bus Interchange and was rescued by the RSPCA.
Cheshire East has shelved its original plans to develop Crewe’s Royal Arcade because of soaring costs, writes Belinda Ryan.
And instead it will look at temporarily using the site for “meanwhile uses” to attract footfall into the town.
Dear Editor,
In 2018 Crewe residents were promised a £48m Royal Arcade masterplan, a new cinema, gym, restaurants, shops, a 450 space multi storey car park and a new bus station, off Victoria Street and Queensway, by Christmas 2020.
We are now in 2023 and what have we got?
A temporary bus station will be in use in Crewe from Wednesday January 4 as work to complete the first phase of the Cheshire East Council’s Royal Arcade scheme enters the next stage.
The existing bus station will be closed and eight temporary bus stands will operate alongside temporary passenger shelters, cycle stands and facilities for bus drivers.
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,
Crewe town centre’s Royal Arcade re-development is stalled before it has even begun.
We were promised that work would begin in January. We are now told it will be nearly May before building work begins.

Building work will begin in January on Crewe’s new bus station and multi-storey car park and the scheme should be completed by August 2023 now planning permission has been granted.
That was the claim of the agent representing the developer at Wednesday’s meeting of Cheshire East’s strategic planning board.

Residents have until September 10 to register views on changes made to the Royal Arcade development in Crewe.
And among the changes are the addition of two large panels of green wall of the car park facing Delamere Street.
The redevelopment of the Royal Arcade site in Crewe will take another step forward this week as a public consultation on the plans gets underway.
Details of the proposed scheme for a new bus station, multi-storey car park, cinema, bowling centre, gym, restaurants, cafes and bars will go on display ahead of a planning application being submitted in April.
Demolition of vacant shops at Crewe’s Royal Arcade site has started, marking a significant milestone in the town’s transformation.
Plant and machinery arrived on site this week to begin the demolition works.
Saturday bus services connecting rural villages to Nantwich have been reinstated, says Cheshire East Council.
The 70 and 72 services will now give people living in Wrenbury, Audlem, Aston and Bunbury a route in to Nantwich.
