Railway workers cottages in Crewe

The Council is consulting on 4 new Local Listed Building Consent Orders (LLBCO) for the Grade II listed former Railway Workers Cottages in Crewe. This is a pro-active and blanket grant of listed building consent, which means that owners of those listed buildings specified in the order will not have to make individual applications, but will be able to proceed with the works, provided they carry out the works as specified in the order and comply with any conditions that may be attached to it. The initiative aims to promote energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions and facilitate a grant scheme while protecting historic architecture.

We are considering extending an existing Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) primarily within Macclesfield Town Centre to help us to continue to tackle Anti-Social Behaviour more effectively. Specifically, behaviour related to the consumption of alcohol, and urination/defecation in public. We know that most members of public, residents, visitors and those working in our borough alike are responsible and would like your support in tackling the anti-social behaviour of the minority who undertake these behaviours to the point that it has a detrimental impact on others.

If not extended the PSPO will be due to expire at midnight on the 17 July 2025.

Legislation requires the Cheshire East Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) to publish a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) every 3 years and keep it up to date. This should be a comprehensive assessment of the current and future needs of local people for community pharmacy services.


Cheshire East Public Health Intelligence Team and partners from across Cheshire East have now produced the first draft of its 2025 Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) report. The purpose of the consultation is to gain feedback on the accuracy of the report and the extent to which the findings reflect the views of the those living in Cheshire East.

Cheshire East Council is considering introducing a Lane Rental Scheme on a proportion of its road network. The introduction of a Lane Rental Scheme aims to achieve better control and co-ordination of roadworks and street works which take place across the Cheshire East Council highway network. The core objective will be the reduction of disruptive road works on the most traffic sensitive parts of the network, at the most sensitive times.

The scheme aims to reduce the amount of disruption to users of the Highway Network within Cheshire East by encouraging organisations who conduct street or road works to undertake activities during the least disruptive time for road users, and to complete them in a timely manner. It aims to reduce the number of activities being undertaken at specified times by applying a daily charge to these organisations for occupation of street and roads during chargeable hours.

It will be led by Cheshire West and Chester Council, supported by Warrington, Cheshire East, Peak District National Park, Natural England and our Local Nature Partnership. This consultation is on the first draft of the strategy and will be open until 4 April 2025.
