16.04.21 The Parish Council is very concerned to hear of an incident on Chemistry Pits playing field regarding an horrific attack on a cat by an unattended dog.
The playing field is covered by a borough-wide order that does not require dogs to be kept on a lead, however, dogs must be kept under control.
If you are unable to control the behaviour of your dog then please keep it on a lead.
Sadly the cat has been put to sleep which is very upsetting, this could have been a young child.

The Parish Council has recently considered the damage caused by contractor vehicles parking on grass verges and has resolved to ask CW&C Council Planning Enforcement if there is anything that may be done to ensure that grass verges are reinstated once building work is complete.
In response to an enquiry from a resident with regards to white bollards on grass verges, the following was received from CW&C Highways:
"As you know we have to ask for the cost of posts to be covered and we only put them in on request of the property they are going directly outside. However, we will only put them where there is substantial damage being caused to prevent that.
We have had one location I’m aware of where a PC (Parish Council ), covered the cost of their provision on a stretch of main road through the area where there was a persistent issue but we did require agreement in writing from each property and this is not typical the onus is usually on the individual resident to apply and fund them. Either way they could not be bulk bought by the PC individual requests need to come in to us to be assessed".

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.
