More than 11,300 households in Cheshire East have so far signed up to the council’s subscription scheme to have their garden waste bins emptied from next year.
Of those, 9,500 have already paid the annual £56 charge, which has boosted the council’s coffers by £532,000.
Youngsters in Nantwich fighting for swifter action to install a new Barony skatepark have been backed by MP Dr Kieran Mullan.
The skate park was dismantled several months ago by Cheshire East Council due to “safety concerns” but the authority has not announced when it will be replaced.
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 Cabinet councillor at Cheshire East says the new fence around Barony Park in Nantwich is part of a “green space masterplan”.
And Cllr Mick Warren believes people will “quickly get used to it” as fencing rails of varying heights are set to be installed around the perimeter of the park.
Work on a perimeter fence around Barony Park in Nantwich to prevent unauthorised traveller camps could start in March, it has emerged.
And campaigners who viewed detailed drawings of the plans this week, hope it will lead to the park gaining “green flag status”.
