Cheshire East Borough Council is served by 82 councillors. The whole council is elected every 4 years. The next election is due in May 2023. Join us now and help us to get our first Cheshire East green councillor elected.
There are a total of 11 town councils and 97 parish councils throughout Cheshire East. Elections for all councils are held every 4 years to coincide with borough elections. If there are mid-term vacancies, town and parish councils are entitled to co-opt new councillors. Quite often town and parish councils are under subscribed and elections do not take place.
Nigel Hennerley - High Legh Parish Coucil
Green Party Programme for Cheshire East
The Green Party realises that the Biodiversity Emergency is as important as the Climate Emergency, whilst other parties seem to have only just gotten on the train – and the wrong one, with HS2 – at the last moment.
Other parties still think that both as a country and as a county, we can expand our way out of this. The Green Party realises that unless we come up with another couple of planets, we have to do less in future, but make different choices about what we do; so that we radically cut emissions and allow Nature to grow back, recover, remove CO2 naturally and still provide us with food, work, and peace of mind.
It can’t do that if the Council builds unnecessary roads - like the virtually empty Congleton Bypass; or if it allows big unnecessary housing developments run by overseas companies such as the one threatening Danes Moss, or other housing developments like that threatening the rewilded Longridge Wildlife Site in Knutsford; or if it allows HS2 to tear through the countryside of Cheshire East – for a train that nobody can use till 2040 - after which we should have built a society where nobody needs to do much travelling.
The Public recognise this, we are hearing that the public want Cheshire East to have a Green Conscience, and we will be there to do just this.
