The Draft Neighbourhood Plan for Upton-by-Chester & District now has approval from the Parish Council and is moving towards completion. The Plan has been developed by a team of residents and councillors, carefully listening to views expressed across the community.
​
The next stage is a final consultation, when everyone who is interested in the future development of Upton-by-Chester and District will be invited to comment. Consultation is due to start in early February, and the Draft Plan and the ways in which you can comment will be posted here.
A Neighbourhood Plan is about housing, shops, businesses, green spaces, and sustainability. It deals with land use and the types of development that local people want (or don’t want) to see in the future.
​

Cheshire West and Chester Council would like to hear your views on our proposed waste strategy, which will shape how the Council delivers waste services over the next 10 years.
 
Our current waste strategy was developed in 2002
We are preparing a new strategy to ensure that our vision and priorities reflect the needs of our communities, are aligned to emerging national plans and policies, as well as helping to address our climate emergency.
The new strategy will also help the Council ensure that the waste collection and, recycling services are managed in a cost-effective way in order to address the unprecedented budget challenges faced by the Council.
The aim of this consultation is to: 
  • Describe the current waste service in Cheshire West and Chester.
  • Share some of the challenges and opportunities we face over the next 10 years.
  • Receive feedback on the proposed key priorities for our strategy and the options we are considering in order to achieve our priorities. 
Please take time to read the information and complete the related questions in our consultation questionnaire. https://participatenow.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/waste-strategy-consultation

Council opens Book of Reflection 
A book of reflection has been opened online for residents to pay tribute to those who have lost their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Cheshire West and Chester Council has launched the book to offer people chance to reflect on the past year and share their messages of reflection, condolence, hope and thank yous. 
There is also a section within the book to say ‘thank you’ to those who have made a difference during the pandemic.
 
Cllr Louise Gittins, Leader of Cheshire West and Chester Council, said:
“This devastating disease has claimed hundreds of lives in our borough, leaving family and friends mourning their personal loss, while the wider community mourns our loss as a society.  The nature of COVID-19 means that, as a community, we have been unable to come together in our grief as we would usually wish to when faced with loss of this magnitude.  We hope that this book offers an opportunity to do this, to share our thoughts and support one another during this incredibly difficult time.  Throughout 2020 we have seen and experienced the power of communities coming together to help and support residents in need, as well as the inspirational support and commitment shown by the nation’s tireless NHS staff and all key workers.  This is why we also wanted to offer people a place in the book to say thank you to all those who have helped and are continuing to help us all through these difficult and unprecedented times.”
 
The book will also be kept as a record of the tributes paid and the thank yous.

Anyone without internet access who wishes to add a message can telephone: 01244 972214 or  977074  Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
