Neighbourhood area name: Worleston and District

Please include a map of the area: Worleston, Poole and Axta NA (1).pdf

Please describe the area: Worleston and District comprises of the following: The village and parish of Worleston; the parish of ; the hamlet and parish of Poole; and the parish of Reaseheath including Reaseheath College Primarily rural or semi-rural with Worleston as the village centre with PO. public house, school and church. However there are significant settlements at Reaseheath and Pool with a spread of dwellings across the parish. The parish area is bisected by two B roads that carry significant traffic northwards from towards and Central and the rest of the north west

Please explain why this area is considered to be appropriate to be designated as a neighbourhood area: We are a parish only 2/3 miles from Nantwich and similar from so on the edge of areas of significant development, both housing and industrial. The area has a recognisable identity and is considered an attractive area to re-locate with a very high Ofsted performing school, a new village hall, a thriving Post Office and bakery and a well attended church. Around the village there are diverse settlements of a smaller nature with differing characteristics but also a common need and use of the services of Worleston village. Within our boundary is Reaseheath College, a significant benefit economically to the area but equally a challenge in terms of its footprint and the issues it creates, from commuters to impact on the landscape etc. Our position makes the parish a attractive proposition for developers as Nantwich becomes congested and the industry and infrastructure around Crewe develops and the residents feel that it is important that we take control in order that our neighbourhood develops in the way they would like to see

What is the intention of the neighbourhood area?: Neighbourhood development plan
