It's time to have your say on shaping the future of our towns and villages.
Cheshire East Council is undertaking the next stage of consultation on the Local Development Framework, called the ‘Place Shaping’ consultation.
Between now and September, the local authority’s spatial planning team will be working closely with the people of Cheshire East to look at the issues and challenges facing town and village communities. The aim is to find out how people think the towns and villages should look in the future. This is your chance to have your say.
Cheshire East is holding several consultation events over the summer that you can get involved in. It is starting off with four Local Area Partnership/Local Development Framework workshops, at the following times and locations:
● Tuesday July 5, Assembly Rooms, Macclesfield 6.30pm-8.30pm, covering Macclesfield, Wilmslow, Poynton, Handforth, Knutsford and the surrounding areas;
● Wednesday July 6, Malbank High School, Nantwich, 6.30pm-8:30pm, covering Nantwich and the surrounding areas;
● Monday July 11, Crewe Alexandra Football Club, Crewe, 6pm-8.30pm, covering Crewe and the surrounding areas;
● Wednesday July 13, Congleton Town Hall, 6.30pm-8.30pm, covering Congleton, Sandbach, Middlewich, Alsager and the surrounding areas.
To register for one of the workshops, e-mail: ldfconsultation@cheshireeast.gov.uk
or ring 01270 685893 with your name, the town or village that you want to talk about and the venue and date of the event that you would like to attend.
The deadline for registering is Monday July 4, 2011.
There will also be exhibitions throughout Cheshire East where members of the public can talk to us about the future planning of their town or village. These will take place later in the summer and autumn.
Councillor David Brown, Cabinet member with responsibility for performance and capacity said: “I would encourage as many people as possible to get involved in this process and have their say on the future of their communities.
“This plan will determine our development over the next 20 years so it is vital that we have as much public input as possible.”
