SECTION 1 – CHESHIRE FIRE AUTHORITY 1.1 The Cheshire Fire Service (Combination Scheme) Order 1997 (the Scheme) established Cheshire Fire Authority (the Authority) for the combined area then covered by Cheshire County Council, Halton Borough Council and Warrington Borough Council. Upon local government reorganisation in 2009 the Authority’s combined area became that covered by the borough councils of Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, Halton and Warrington (the Constituent Authorities). At that time it was agreed that there should be 23 Councillors appointed to the Fire Authority. 1.2 The Scheme restricts the number of Members that may sit on the Authority (to a maximum of 25). It also requires each of the Constituent Authorities to appoint such number of representatives to be Members of the Authority as is proportionate to the number of local government electors in its area in relation to the number of such electors in each of the Constituent Authority areas. In other words the seats are allocated in proportion taking into account the electoral numbers in each of the Constituent Authority areas. The allocation is checked each year. 1.3 There are currently 23 elected Members of the Authority. At present the appointments are made in the following proportions: Cheshire East Borough Council 8 Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council 7 Halton Borough Council 3 Warrington Borough Council 5 1.4 The Authority operates a committee system rather than an executive/ cabinet model. The Authority itself makes all the key decisions. It appoints the following main committees: Policy; Performance and Overview; Governance and Constitution. Seats on these main committees are allocated in political proportions. 1.5 A copy of the Cheshire Fire Services (Combination Scheme) Order 1997 is attached as Annex 1 to this section. June 2015 .

Cheshire West & Chester Council
CHESHIRE WEST & CHESTER COUNCIL: ELECTORAL REVIEW Submission to the Boundary Committee on Council Size. 1 Context 1.1 This submission sets out Cheshire West & Chester Council’s proposal on Council size. This is the first issue to be addressed in the electoral review of the area. The proposal is for a Council of 75 elected Members in Cheshire West & Chester. This proposal was made by resolution of the Council on 2 April 2009 at its first meeting after vesting day, on which it replaced former county and district councils. The three political parties represented on the Council; Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat, concurred in the making of the Council’s resolution. 1.2 The proposal has been formulated having regard to key principles of electoral review; that local government should be convenient to local people and effective. Further to these principles, the Council is of the belief that its proposal will ensure that all roles at political level can be carried out effectively, and will enable the authority to achieve its objective of being an exceptionally excellent Council. 1.3 Cheshire West & Chester is a newly created Unitary Council, delivering by direct provision or by commissioning, the full range of Local Authority services in its area. The range of its products is tremendous - from a direction sign on a footpath to the care of a vulnerable child. The Council has at its heart, the wish to serve the whole community of those who live in, work in, or otherwise visit Cheshire West and Chester. It serves a population of 329,100, the fourth largest of Unitary Local Authorities in the North West and the sixteenth largest in England.

Introduction 1.1 An Area of Archaeological Potential (AAP) was identified in the Congleton Borough Local Plan Deposit Draft (December 1994). The AAP has now been redefined and two Archaeological Character Zones (ACZs) have been identified within this. Each Zone is identified by its defining archaeological or historical characteristics, or Primary Characteristics. For example, in the Early Medieval Zone (Archaeological Character Zone 1), the defining characteristics include the site of an important early medieval church, potentially of Minster status, as well as the pre-Viking crosses in the Market Place and other examples of sculpture from the same period in St Mary’s churchyard.

VALE ROYAL INTRODUCTION 2 This document details Youth arts activity and organisations in West Cheshire and Chester is presented in this document on a district-by-district basis. This project is part of a wider pan Cheshire audit of youth arts including; a separate document also for East Cheshire, a sub-regional and county wide audit in Cheshire as well as a report analysis recommendations for youth arts for the future. This also precedes the new structure of Cheshire’s two county unitary authorities following LGR into East and West Cheshire and Chester, which will come into being in April 2009 An audit of this kind will never be fully accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date. Some data will be out-of-date or incorrect as soon as it’s printed or written, and we apologise for any errors or omissions. The youth arts audit aims to produce a snapshot of the activity that takes place in West Cheshire provided by the many arts, culture and youth organisations based in the county in the spring and summer of 2008– we hope it is a fair and balanced picture, giving a reasonable impression of the scale and scope of youth arts activities, organisations and opportunities – but it is not entirely exhaustive and does not claim to be.

SANDBACH ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT Vince Devine & Jo Clark 1. SUMMARY Although the manor was recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086, very little is known about Sandbach during the early medieval period. However, the survival of elaborate pre-Viking sculpture, in the form of crosses and grave slabs, indicates that Sandbach was an important religious centre during this period. By the late 16th century the town was granted the rights to hold a market and two fairs, all of which have continued into the present century. During the 19th century, a silk and shoe industry were established, and their commercial success was a significant factor in the growth of the town.
