Dear Editor,
I am writing to speak about youth services, and my support for Anna Burton, the Labour & Co-operative candidate for Nantwich North in the upcoming local elections.
As a young person living in Nantwich, I have a personal experience of what youth services are like here.

Cheshire East Council will definitely have at least 21 new faces after this week’s local elections because of the number of councillors standing down – but will it be under the control of one party?
Dear Editor,
Labour run Cheshire East need to re-think plans for Crewe Town Centre. Their plans have zero chance of success.
No point in building new shops when 44 shops have been vacant for far too long.
Dear Editor,
Labour run Cheshire East plans to increase parking charges in Crewe by a whopping 10%.
Instead of £1.20 for two hours it will be £1.32. Crewe is the biggest but the most economically and socially deprived town in Cheshire East.
Dear Editor,
Shockingly, Labour-run Cheshire East are proposing to shut libraries on a Saturday and reduce opening hours on other days.
‘Putting Crewe First’ is totally opposed to this.
Local Labour politicians have criticised Crewe and Nantwich Conservative MP Kieran Mullan for receiving £41,000 in donations in three years.
They claim it shows wealthy donors have “far more influence and access to decision makers” than his constituents.
Wages in Crewe and Nantwich have fallen by 3.5% since Conservatives came to power in 2010, claim the local Labour group.
They say analysis of ONS figures shows the wages in the constituency have fallen by an average of £1,089, resulting in a 3.5% cut.

They say plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, so it is pleasing to see the local Conservatives seeking to take credit for the achievements of the Labour-led Cheshire East Council.
Dear Editor,
As we wait for the outcome of the Prime Ministerial contest, I’ve personally asked both candidates this question; “Cheshire East spends two thirds of the budget on Social Care. How will you support and fund social care going forward?”
Dear Editor
For the second time this year, Cheshire East Independent and Labour Leadership has cancelled the planned full council meeting due to lack of business!
If they listened to their residents and to my Conservative colleagues, they would hear the calls for discussion and debate about so many things.
The Crewe and Nantwich MP claims the Crewe West by election result shows people are “fed up with local Labour councillors”.
Crewe Labour Party won the seat, but its share of the vote hit a ten-year low, mirroring poor performances in local elections around the UK.
Council chiefs say food vouchers are available for families in Crewe and Nantwich struggling to afford to feed their children during the pandemic.
Their pledge comes as the row deepens over MPs rejecting a proposal to extend free school meals until Easter.
