Town Council: Have your say

As a result of receiving three petitions from local residents Cheshire East Council is now conducting a review of Community Governance arrangements. 

As part of the review, residents in Wilmslow, Handforth and Styal are being invited to have their say on whether a single town council, or multiple town councils, should be created.

The following Public meetings will be held to give people the opportunity to find out more about the proposals and have their say:

  • Monday 26 April, 7pm, Wilmslow Leisure Centre, Wilmslow
  • Wednesday 28 April, 7pm, Handforth Youth and Community Centre, Old Road, Wilmslow
  • Thursday 29 April, 7pm, Styal Primary School, Altrincham Road, Styal

 

Following the meetings, local residents and organisations will be given a further opportunity to put forward their views on what form future local government administration should take, during a public consultation which will take place between May 10th and June 4th. During this period, householders will also be receiving a postal voting paper and explanatory leaflet.

Councillor Jim Crockatt, Chairman of the Review Sub-Committee, said: “We strongly encourage people living in these areas, and anyone else with an interest, to make their views known on this important topic.

“All feedback received will be taken into consideration to ensure the decision taken reflects the wishes of the people of these areas.”

Following the initial consultation, a draft recommendation will be created, which will form the basis of a second consultation which will take place later in the year.

Any new arrangements would take effect from the date of the next local elections in May 2011.

You can submit your views by email or by writing to: The Elections and Registration Team Manager, Cheshire East Council, Westfields, Sandbach, CW11 1HZ.
