New Town Ranger Service in Alsager

In April, the Town Council will be introducing a new Town Ranger service to Alsager. The purpose is to help keep our town and environment clean, tidy and maintained. Across our neighbouring Councils, this service has proven to be a great success.

Initially the service will be introduced on a small scale. Over the next few months, the Town Council will be working with Cheshire East Council, community groups, businesses and residents to build up a programme of works.

The types of work that could typically be undertaken by the Town Ranger service:

· Representing the Town Council in the day-to-day community, and at school and community events.·

· Attending classes to assist with planting, wildlife initiatives.

· Reporting of Cheshire East Council issues.

· Painting of railings, bollards, bins.

Cheshire East Council launches ‘Warm PlaCE’s’ scheme

Cheshire East Council has officially launched a ‘Warm PlaCEs’ scheme to help with the cost-of-living crisis.

‘Warm PlaCEs’ are spaces where people can go, free of charge, to spend time to keep warm if they are struggling to heat or keep their homes warm. As a result of increasing energy prices there is concern that many households may be unable to heat their homes sufficiently this winter.

The council has invited voluntary, community and social enterprise groups to join the ‘Warm PlaCEs’ programme. Organisations can apply for a grant of £250 or £1000 to help set up or improve an existing warm space for their community this winter. Businesses can also register their interest in supporting the ‘Warm PlaCEs’ scheme.

Councillor Sam Corcoran, leader of Cheshire East Council, said: “The ongoing cost-of-living crisis is having significant impacts nationally and the council anticipates seeing increasing financial pressure on residents, businesses, and community organisations across Cheshire East.
