LETTER: Do the Cheshire East tips need to close?

LETTER: Do the Cheshire East tips need to close?

Dear Editor,
After five years of Labour/Independent administration, CEC finances are in a perilous state and difficult decisions must be made to avoid an S114 (Bankruptcy) Notice.

But the Tip Consultation, (where residents voted overwhelmingly against tip closures) and a Residents’ Petition of over 7,000 signatures, must be given significant weight. (Although it’s questionable why, after similar, previous consultations, more taxpayers money was wasted on another clearly pre-determined process).

LETTER: Cheshire East Council – reserves, revenue and risk

Dear Editor
Okay, council finances are dry reading but CIPFA (Chartered Institute of Public Finance & Accountancy) offers a useful explanation of Council Reserves because reserves are important.

They 1) cushion the impacts of uneven cash flows and avoid temporary borrowing. 2) provide a contingency for unexpected emergencies and 3) can be ‘earmarked’ to meet anticipated requirements.

FEATURE: New York to Nantwich – How changes in global markets impact life in Cheshire

We might work for some of the nearby big businesses like AO or Bentley, do our shopping in the Town Square and the Crown Mews — or venture a bit further out to Crewe’s Victoria Centre, Chester city centre, or even Ellesmere Port’s Cheshire Oaks.

We’d love everything in life to be plain sailing.

Unfortunately, it’s just a given that sometimes unexpected expenses crop up along the way.
