Macclesfield residents can ask questions about our town or borough to Cheshire East's top two councillors.

Cheshire East Council is inviting residents to take part in the third virtual 'conversation with' the leader and deputy leader.

While the public are welcome to attend Cheshire East Council meetings, this will offer those who are working or unable to get to the meetings to ask a burning question to the powers that be.

Previous 'conversation with' sessions have covered a wide variety of topics about council services and policies, including planning, highways, the carbon neutral plan and town centre regeneration.

Questions will be addressed by the leader and deputy leader in a pre-recorded question and answer video, to be published in December.

Questions can be submitted online using the form found on the council's website.

Councillor Sam Corcoran, leader of the council, said: "We have seen great engagement with residents in the first two sessions. We received around 100 questions in total from residents across the borough, on a wide range of topics. 

"And this time, to mark November Children's Rights Month, it would be great to hear from young people.

"So much of the council's work is to do with the future of the borough – I would really like to hear questions from our younger residents."

Questions can also be sent by post to: Communications Team, Cheshire East Council, Westfields, Middlewich Road, Sandbach, CW11 1HZ by Tuesday, 22 November 2022.

Councillor Craig Browne, deputy leader of the council added, "We know that residents will be concerned about the cost-of-living crisis, winter wellbeing and they may have concerns about council funding and what impact that may have on services.

"We want to hear from residents and we will do our best to answer any questions you have, so please do get in touch."
