The Climate Emergency Response Plan Engagement is now closed.

Thank you to everyone who took part.

The engagement findings report will be available here later this year.

Your views are really important and what you have told us will be used to help shape the draft Climate Emergency Response Plan 2025-2030 for the borough, which will then be shared for public consultation later this year.


The way we use land in our area plays an important part in how the food we eat is produced and how the natural environment and biodiversity is affected. Land use and management affects river catchments, courses, and underground water sources and that can impact drinking water quality and water used in industrial processes, including food manufacturing. Freshwater aquatic life and, eventually, the sea water environment can also be impacted by the water quality in rivers in our area.

Land use activities including farming, tree planting and management, establishing, managing, and improving habitats and biodiversity, are important in helping the area mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate and nature emergencies, such as heatwaves and flooding. As we develop the borough’s new Climate Emergency Response Plan, it is important to understand residents’ views on how these activities could be used to shape the plan for the next five years and beyond. It is also important to establish the extent to which the impacts of climate and nature emergencies affect residents in the borough. Managing land use will help us to enhance nature, improve air quality, reduce pollution, and ensure we all have great places to live, work and enjoy.

Have your say

Tell us what you think the Climate Emergency Response Plan could do to help meet the challenges and embrace the opportunities of using land in a way that is lower carbon and meets the needs of communities in future.

You can share your views either by completing the survey below or sharing your thoughts on our ideas board.

This engagement exercise is open until Sunday, 1 September 2024.

    Survey about land use, adaptation and repair

    We would like to hear your views on our proposed priorities for tackling Climate Change in west Cheshire. 

    The Council is renewing its Climate Emergency Response Plan and we would like to understand if the themes we have set out are the right ones and if you think there is anything else that should be included in the new plan.

    If you would like to review our current Climate Emergency Response Plan to see what actions were suggested around energy to help the borough reach carbon neutrality, please visit the Climate Emergency Response Plan website. 

    Your feedback is important and will be analysed and used to help shape a new draft Climate Emergency Response Plan, which will then be shared for public consultation later this year.

    This survey takes approximately five to ten minutes to complete.

    The closing date for responses is Sunday, 1 September 2024.
