Councillor Grimshaw attended to give news from CWAC. He told the meeting that Cheshire West and
Chester had been selected to take part in a new system for managing community budgets. There are only 5 authorities in the country involved, 3 of which are London boroughs and the other is Manchester.
They hope that the new system will mean that less money is ‘ring fenced’, which means
it is allocated to a specific purpose and cannot be used elsewhere even if it felt
there is a greater need somewhere else. There should also be more opportunity for
agencies to work together, for example -
Other good news from CWAC was that extra funding on top of the budget has been allocated to spend
on roads. Let’s hope some of it finds its way to the village. On a lighter note but the same theme, it
seems that CWAC have been given a number of awards for their performance in various areas, including one for filling in potholes!
The parish council recommended approval for the plans for the former Nestle site which include 158
private dwellings and open spaces including a play area, a wild flower meadow and allotments. However they are not satisfied about the details for the new allotments and will press for these issues to be addressed.
The sum of £500 was allocated for a Playsheme to run for a week during the summer holidays. This will provide for 10 sessions of activities, each one taking 24 children.
A donation of £50 to the Air Ambulance was approved.
The council is looking into the possibility of getting funding for the provision of a BMX park on land
alongside the Multi Use Games Area behind Blake Lane.
The next meeting of the parish council will take place at the village hall on Monday
20th February at 7.30pm with a Public Forum at 7.15pm when residents can put questions
to the council. To contact the parish council via their e-
