MTB Park Winsford

Create a mountain bike skills area using the contours of the land to provide downhill features. This could be tied in to my previous idea of walk ways/cycle routes around the flashes. I understand that this is currently private land but it was earmarked in the neighbourhood plan for houses, so part could be used for a leisure activity that would attract people to the town and to hopefully spend money in the local community. Especially if some sort of food outlet was provided at the Marina car park area.

There should be something in the plan that gives a vision for reducing traffic and improving active travel infrastructure in the borough.

All areas of the borough need to be provided with the same services, so all communities feel that they belong to the borough.

Cycle/pedestrian Hoole bridge + link to Greenway

The Greenway is less than 500m from the north end of Hoole Bridge. Most of this 500m is tarmacked already. If this link were made and then a pedestrian/cycle bridge made over the railway on either the NW or the SE side of the existing bridge there would be a traffic free/low traffic route from the whole Greenway catchment into the town centre. This has, as far as I know, been in theplans for a long time but not executed.

Can we have regular cleaning of the road gutters?

Wrexham Road from Malpas all the way down to Cuddington is permanently getting blocked drains because the gutters are full of weeds and debris. I have asked several times to have them cleaned and in 6 years they've been out once and that was after getting Rachel Williams involved.

All services should be joined up, communicate with each other, provide information pertaining to their area of operation, cooperation.

Nhs mental health

Upton lea is currently running on 2 psychiatrists for the whole area they have no psychologists The specialist nurses are 4 when they used to be 14. Surly this situation is critical. Doctors have not really got back to how surgeries ran pre covid. The wait for a simple blood test is 2 to 3 weeks The retention of staff is terrible always new receptionists The office managers leaving after years of service. Whilst doctors surgeries score high on council audits something is wrong

Take the maintenance of Country Roads seriously.

The country roads are repaired by a well meaning band of contract workmen with a bucket of Tarmac and a 'Wacker Plate' to bash it in the holes. THIS IS NOT A LONG TERM SOLUTION. If the council were to return to the site of a repair a few weeks later, they would find that all the repair tarmac has been gouged out of the hole by the large wheeled vehicles that use the road. Repair roads surfaces so that they are safe to drive on.

Would like to see greater partnership between the local MPs and the Council, for the benefit of the local population.

Local people have lots of expertise in different areas, is there a way the Council can utilise this, perhaps through a forum of some kind?

Join in and get involved

Get involved. If your kids are in a football team, help out at the club. If you think it's sad how many shops are empty, buy things from the ones that are still open. If someone has thrown litter on the floor by the bin, why not tut but then pick it up yourself. If you're bothered by a specific issue, volunteer.

Respect each other by observing laws on parking, litter, vandalism, noise, intolerance. We should call these people out.

Active travel is really important, the more the better, because it frees up the roads for people who really need them.

Would like to see the Council offering the best social services in the country in 10 years.

More affordable and well built housing. Use brownfield sites more but build more for first time buyers.

Responsible housing

Ensure basic facilities are provided to the whole CWCC area, not just the towns!!

The village I live in is by no means 'isolated', yet we have No Gas, No mains drains and No bus service. If Oil heating boilers are to be phased out, what have CWCC done to ensure I will be able to heat my house? Air source heat pumps are not a viable option in a traditional Cheshire brick country house.
