Phase one of the Royal Arcade redevelopment in Crewe town centre delivered a new modern bus station and multi-storey car park. The bus station opened in May 2024, and the car park opened in July 2024. The remainder of the Royal Arcade development site, which borders Victoria Street and Queensway, is currently fenced off and the council is continuing to explore longer-term plans for this space.


While we continue to look at the long-term plans, we are also developing proposals for 'meanwhile (temporary) uses' of the site. The improvements to  the site will be undertaken using funding from the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund. We would like you to share your feedback on options for type of seating arrangement, gates, and the types of recreational activities that could take place on the site.

Cheshire East Council is working to update the Local Transport Plan for the borough, and we would like you to share your views to inform the development of the plan.

Based on the evidence that we have gathered so far, we have created a vision with emerging aims and priorities for the plan. However, this is just the start of the process – we now need you to let us know whether you think we are on the right lines.

Your feedback will help us refine and prioritise our plans to match the needs of the people that matter most – communities using the transport network.

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.

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. This consultation is on the first draft of the strategy and will be open until 4 April 2025.
