Map showing the area to be removed from Gawsworth

Oct

Cheshire East Council is consulting on proposals to amend the boundary of Gawsworth and move the Gawsworth Moss area and a number of fields into Macclesfield Town.

The borough-wide Community Governance Review is looking at governance arrangements for the parishes across Cheshire East and can consider a range of matters including the boundaries of parishes, number of councillors and warding arrangements.

The proposals for Gawsworth are:

  • To move the Gawsworth Moss area into Macclesfield Town Council
  • To move a number of fields, including the LPS15 development, into Macclesfield Town Council
  • To retain a total of nine parish councillors with no need for warding arrangements

The proposals also state that if the area is not transferred, warding arrangements could continue with three councillors for Moss and seven for village (an increase of one).

You can view a map of the proposed area to be removed from Gawsworth and the explanatory report here: Extract from Cheshire East Council Consultation Documents.

The proposals being consulted on go against the suggestions made by Gawsworth Parish Council in the early stages of this review. Gawsworth Parish Council proposed that the warding arrangement should be removed and should this not be possible that:

  • The Moss Ward be extended to cover all of LPS15 and LPS19 which is currently in Village Ward
  • Residents of Moss Ward should have opportunity to agree a new name for the ward which better fits that community
  • The council should retain nine councillors but five should be assigned to Village and four to Moss.

The Parish Council had presented Cheshire East Council with survey data showing that the majority of respondents to a survey of Moss Ward residents want to remain in Gawsworth parish. This was dismissed by Cheshire East Council.

The Parish Council strongly urges residents in both Village and Moss wards to make their voice heard in this consultation. If there is not a strong voice from the residents of Moss ward then it is likely the proposals will go through.

To respond to the consultation you can:

  • Complete the CEC Consultation Survey here: https://surveys.cheshireeast.gov.uk/s/CGReview2/
  • Email your views to: communitygovernancereview@cheshireeast.gov.uk
  • Write to Cheshire East Council, Community Governance Review Consultation, Westfields, Middlewich Road, Sandbach, CW11 1HZ

The consultation closes on 28th November.
