Current consultations

Since 2009, Cheshire East Council has had a Home Repairs and Adaptations Policy, with the most recent version of this policy published in 2022. This policy sets out several ways the council helps disabled and vulnerable residents to manage their own care and wellbeing at home, by funding repairs and adaptations to their homes so that people can continue living in accessible and safe environments.

The council is proposing to amend this policy so it can meet the severe financial pressures it faces, and to focus the use of council financial resources on statutory services, and on the most vulnerable residents. Proposals include several amendments to the policy, including one which proposes a reduction in discretionary spending (Disabled Facilities Grant).

Cheshire East Council is consulting on its draft Housing Strategy for 2025-2028. This strategy supports the Council’s aims and objectives for housing in the Borough, to improve the choice, quality, and supply of housing for a diverse population, support people to buy or rent their own home, prevent homelessness, improve options for older people and protect the most vulnerable.

Closes Tuesday, 25 February 2025

On-going consultations

Local Nature Recovery Strategy consultation

Local Nature Recovery Strategies will act as the blueprint for how to improve nature in local areas to help wildlife thrive, improve our ecological network, and target investment in nature where it could help us adapt to climate change and improve the places we live, work and play.

The Strategy for Cheshire will cover the whole of Cheshire and include Warrington. 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. There will be multiple stages of consultation as the strategy is progressed
