Cheshire East Council’s solar farm at Crewe may be able to supply energy to the rebuilt Leighton Hospital in the future, a councillor has said.
The 4.1mw farm was built to provide the majority of the electricity required by the council’s compost plant at Leighton, which is operated by a contractor Biowise.
Dear Editor,
I was contacted last night by my energy supplier to inform me the EBSS (energy support scheme) was ending on 31st March.
Based on the last twelve months they estimate, based on usage, my Electricity Costs from April 2023 to March 2024 would reduce by £21-14 and Gas would increase by £2-27.
Dear Editor,
On the BBC text site overnight, it was reported that Electricity cost 4p per unit more in North Wales, Cheshire and parts of Merseyside (the old MANWEB area).
In our area we pay 36p per unit, with 34p being an average and 32p in the lowest parts of the Country.
Dear Editor,
At a time when everyone is worried about the ever escalating energy prices, it is good news that Crewe residents could be the beneficiary of cheaper clean energy.
Dear Editor
Labour-run Cheshire East’s Energy Company has lost a whopping £151,000.
It is bad enough that local council taxpayers have recently been forced to pay large increases in the energy costs for their home… they also now have to bail out the council run Energy Company as well!
A man involved in an industrial accident in Bishop’s Wood in Nantwich yesterday has died, police have confirmed.
Emergency services including police, paramedics, air ambulance and fire crews were called to the scene at Bridle Hey at around 1.45pm on Thursday 13 August.
Electricity bosses have apologised after Nantwich was hit by two major power cuts this week.
And they revealed the two incidents were not connected, and just “coincidence”.
A house blaze in Nantwich was sparked by a tumble dryer, fire crews say. The fire broke out in a three-storey town house on Capel Way, Nantwich, last night (April 8) at 10.40pm.
Fire crews are battling a blaze in a town centre pub in Nantwich. The fire broke out in a ground floor cleaning cupboard of the Red Cow pub on Beam Street and spread.
