Cheshire East has launched a new “falls prevention strategy” – just four days after councillors voted to consult the public on plans to switch off the street lights!
Around 2,275 people aged 65 and over in Cheshire East are admitted to hospital each year following a fall.
Nantwich could see pop-up cycle lanes, more walking routes, lower speed limits and wider pavements as part of plans to encourage more “active travel” among residents.
Cheshire East councillors are considering a clampdown on pavement parking to make walking around streets of Nantwich and other towns easier.
Disgruntled members of Nantwich Civic Society are aiming to ruffle Cheshire East Council feathers over the crumbling state of the town’s pavements.
They have launched their new “Puddleduck Campaign” to pressure the authority into much-needed repairs.
