Maintenance of Green Space consultation 

This consultation outlines proposals for the introduction of a new policy relating to maintenance regimes of green spaces within Cheshire East. As part of the policy site schedules have been produced which set out the typology and overall zone rating for each site. The revised approach allows us to deliver savings which were highlighted in the Councils Medium Term Financial Strategy 2023-2027 whilst providing a framework to drive consistency of standards across all Council maintained green spaces and delivering opportunities for rewilding of specific areas, promoting increases in biodiversity.

Allocations Policy Consultation 2023

It is a statutory requirement under the Housing Act 1996 for local authorities to have an Allocations Policy in place which outlines how social housing located within their authority will be allocated. The current Cheshire East Council (CEC) Allocations Policy was approved in 2018. Minor amendments have been made since then to bring the Policy into line with new legislation. Housing staff have been considering the existing policy and areas in need of improvement incorporating comments, compliments, and complaints about it. It is therefore proposed that some sections of the Policy need to be amended.
