Cheshire East Council Community Governance Review Part One: Report Cheshire East Council Community Governance Review Part One: Report Section 1: Introduction Background and methodology Between 28th October 2019 and January 31st 2020 Cheshire East residents and other stakeholders were invited to provide comments and views on how effective they felt current governance arrangements were and if they felt changes, if any, were required and why. The comments and views received will form part of a review of town and parish council governance arrangements across the Cheshire East Borough. The overarching purpose of the review is in accordance with the 'Department of Communities and Local Government and Local Government Boundary Commission for England guidance on Community Governance Reviews’ [LGBCE Guidance] to “ensure that community governance arrangements continue to reflect local identities and facilitate effective and convenient local government.” The Council has also undertaken some preliminary analysis of each of the town/ parish council wards within the borough including details of current electorate and councillor representation, together with electorate growth forecasts that take account of expected future house-building. The council has also received a small number of requests from parish councils to review their specific governance arrangements. The online survey was promoted via a media release, on the council’s website and on social media platforms. Paper copies were sent to libraries and key contact centres and an engagement event with town and parish councils was held. Overall 276 responses were received either via the online/ paper survey or sent by e-mail. The aim now is to review and assess all the preliminary analysis conducted alongside the comments and views received. Analysis will include a quality check to ensure that any comments received relate to the town or parish to which they have been associated. Once this has been completed we will develop some draft proposals which will be the subject of a formal consultation at a later date.

  • Appendix 4 Detailed Proposals for Each Ward – Organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP)
    Appendix 4 Detailed proposals for each Ward – organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP) Proposed Wards within the Knutsford Local Area Partnership Knutsford Local Area Partnership (LAP) is situated towards the north-west of Cheshire East, and borders Wilmslow to the north-east, Macclesfield to the south-east and Congleton to the south. The M6 and M56 motorways pass through this LAP. Hourly train services link Knutsford, Plumley and Mobberley to Chester and Manchester, while in the east of this LAP hourly trains link Chelford with Crewe and Manchester. The town of Knutsford was the model for Elizabeth Gaskell's novel Cranford and scenes from the George C. Scott film Patton were filmed in the centre of Knutsford, in front of the old Town Hall. Barclays Bank employs thousands of people in IT and staff support functions at Radbroke Hall, just outside the town of Knutsford. Knutsford is home to numerous sporting teams such as Knutsford Hockey Club, Knutsford Cricket Club, Knutsford Rugby Club and Knutsford Football Club. Attractions include Tatton Park, home of the RHS Flower show, the stately homes Arley Hall, Tabley House and Peover Hall, and the Cuckooland Museum of cuckoo clocks. In detail, the proposals are: Knutsford is a historic, self-contained urban community with established extents and comprises the former County Ward of Knutsford, containing 7 polling districts. The Parish of Knutsford also mirrors the boundary of this proposal. Knutsford Town is surrounded by Green Belt which covers 58% of this proposed division. The proposed ward has excellent communications by road, motorway and rail and is bounded to the north by Tatton Park and to the east by Birkin Brook.

  • Mottram St. Andrew Parish Council
    Edward Charles Slater 05.06.1887 – 15.12.1917 Edward Charles Slater was baptised on the 5th June 1887 in Alderley Edge, the son of John and Mary Slater. In the 1881 census Edward was living in Welsh Row, Alderley Edge with his parents and his brother John and sisters Harriet and Emily. By 1901 the family had moved to Nether Alderley. By 1911 Edward had left home and was living with his wife Alice in Oak Road, Mottram St. Andrew who he had married in 1909 at All Saints Church, Siddington. Alice’s maiden name was Coppock and Edward’s occupation was a bricklayer. They had five children. Edward, Frank, Joey, Wallace Charles and Ellen. They also had a foster child named George. Edward was baptised in Prestbury in 1911, Joey in 1912, Frank in 1914, Wallace Charles in 1917 and Ellen in 1920. Edward enlisted in Mottram St. Andrew and served as gunner in the Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA) in the 63rd Siege Battery in France and Flanders and he was awarded the Victory Medal and the British Medal. His army number was 171714. Siege Batteries were equipped with heavy howitzers sending large calibre high explosive shells in high trajectory, plunging fire. The usual armaments were 6inch, 8inch or 9.2inch howitzers, although some had large rail or road mounted 12inch howitzers. The 63rd Siege Battery had two rail mounted 12inch howitzers and were sent to France on the 2nd March 1916. As British artillery tactics developed the Siege Batteries were most often employed in destroying or neutralising the enemy artillery as well as putting destructive fire down on strong points, dumps, stores, roads and railways behind enemy lines.
