Cheshire West responsibilities
Cheshire West and Chester are responsible for all aspects of Highways, ie speed limits, speeding, road closures, and management of on-street parking. Issues can be reported straight to CWAC using the website or app (YourStreets), or escalated through Ward Councillors ( contacts here ).
Cheshire West make decisions on planning applications.
Report Issues
Many issues can be addressed faster if reported by residents when noticed. Please see list of issues and who best to report them to.
We can all help
We receive many comments on matters outside our control, such as speeding and bad parking, but also the need for more maintenance of hedges, footpaths and landscaping. Those are things that we as a community can do a great deal to control – by parking properly, driving carefully, cutting our hedge back so they don't encroach on the pavements, not dropping litter, etc. Pulling together to improve these issues would allow Parish Council resources to be used for other priorities – for example, KPC spent £4,000 on litter picking in 2022/23.
