In 2025-26 Cheshire East's Community Grants Programmes delivered over £700,000 to community projects.

A new grants programme has been designed to help residents stay healthy, tackle the cost of living and build stronger neighbourhoods. Grants will be awarded to community groups, charities and local organisations that make a real difference every day, focusing on prevention, improving wellbeing and supporting residents facing financial hardship. ❤️

Cheshire East Labour is so proud that a new Council initiative to improve wellbeing and support those most in need has been launched. The Enabling Healthy Neighbourhoods vision is simple: the right support, in the right place, at the right time.

Based upon the Marmot Principles, the framework focuses on prevention, helping people stay well, remain independent and access support locally before problems escalate.

"What if local people had more power to shape the places where they live?"

Labour's Cllr Rob Vernon introduces Community Powered, Cheshire East Council's new initiative approved by Cabinet on 3 September. Community Powered will enable communities to take on local buildings, assets and services, giving residents greater control, stronger local ownership and the opportunity to improve their neighbourhoods for residents.

The Council is improving the way it consults with residents by holding community assemblies. A cross-section of society is required, especially younger people. To get involved join the Community Voices Panel: https://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/council-information/consultations/the-community-voices-panel Thank you!

We are inviting residents to talk about the budget for next year at a community assembly on Monday 7 September in Holmes Chapel.

Participants who attend will receive a £60 One4All gift card as a thank you for their time, and refreshments will be provided.

There's no obligation to buy - a reminder that the deadline to register is Friday 4th September. 🌞

Cheshire East residents can now register for the latest round of the successful solar buying scheme, which has already helped over 500 households install solar panels and cut carbon emissions. Delivered through Cheshire East Council, the scheme makes switching to clean, renewable energy really easy.

The deadline for registrations is 4 September. 🌞😎

The Council has been busy this summer working through its road maintenance schedule of patching, microsurfacing and where cost effective to do so, full resurfacing.

Where appropriate, microsurfacing is used as a cost-effective way to maintain our roads, costing around five times less than full resurfacing. The technique protects the road surface from penetrating water, extending its life by up to 5 years, and in some cases up to 7 years. Because of the lower cost, the Council can treat many more roads across the network, keeping them to a good standard.

Even though the Labour government has doubled the funding for road maintenance, it will still take councils many years to work through the backlog.
