Household waste recycling centre

 

27 March 2024

Cheshire East Council has given an update on its household waste recycling centres.

On 27 February, the council agreed a budget for 2024/25 which will protect vital services and focus council funds on providing support where it will make the most difference.

As part of the essential savings measures for this year, and due to increasing operating costs, the emergency reduction of household waste recycling centres (HWRCs) in the borough has been agreed.

Four core sites will remain open in Alsager, Crewe, Macclesfield and Knutsford.

The emergency closure of Bollington, Poynton and Middlewich HWRCs is currently targeted to take place in the next two to three months.

The council is working to ensure that the transition is as smooth as possible and as part of this, will be putting in place mitigation measures.

These will include later mid-week evening opening hours at its four core sites, and the introduction, on a trial basis, of a mobile household waste recycling service for residents in the Bollington, Poynton and Middlewich areas.

The final details of these mitigation measures continue to be developed but will be timed to go live at the same time to limit any disruption as much as possible.

Further information will be shared by the council over the coming weeks. For now, all HWRCs in Cheshire East can be accessed as normal.

The council will be engaging with town councils to explore opportunities for working in partnership to support HWRC services in their local areas.

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.

Closes Thursday, 30 November 2023
