Invitation to Annual Parish Meeting 2026

We have  received the Parish Council completion of Audit Certificate. This can be viewed by selecting the Finance option

As you may be aware from the report presented to the Council’s Environment and Communities Committee last September and more recently as part of the approved Medium Term Financial Strategy 2024-28 a review of permanent provision of household waste recycling services for Cheshire East has been initiated.

The next stage of the implementation of this review, in advance of the planned report on final recommendations, is to undertake a public consultation. This is now live and can be found at;

https://surveys.cheshireeast.gov.uk/s/HWRC_Consultation_2024

The consultation will run for 6 weeks, closing on Sunday 16^th June.

The consultation seeks views on the series of options approved by the Committee alongside a number of other relevant factors around service provision moving forward.

Please note: it specifically does not invite commentary around the forthcoming emergency site closures on which a further update will be issued in the next two weeks.

Please submit your consultation feedback either via the above link, or by emailing ceconsultation@cheshireeast.gov.uk, and do not issue your response direct to myself, as I cannot guarantee that your views will be collated into the wider public consultation feedback summary.

 Please also be aware that as part of the communications plan attached to the review we have published a list of frequently asked questions to the council’s webpages – https://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/hwrcconsultation

This year the Wrenbury & District Model Railway Club will once again hold their free to enter Open Doors event in the Village Hall Cholmondeley Road Wrenbury CW5 8HG.

The club are running their large 0 gauge layout ‘WRENMERE’ alongside their original 00 layout ‘Kerbstone St Margaret’s’ following recent alterations, plus their new portable 00 layout ‘Wrenbury St Margaret’. In addition, they now have their N gauge layout ‘Oldfield North’ back up and running after a rewire alongside their latest layout ‘Cannon’s Wharf’ in 009 gauge. This will be accompanied by their 009 exhibition layout ‘St Margaret’s Quay’. Visiting will be two 009 layouts plus examples of other gauges of model railway rolling stock.

As usual there will be items of model railway rolling stock for sale along with books, DVDs and other railway memorabilia.

Within walking distance of the hall are two pubs where meals are served. The canal side Dusty Miller is offering a 10% discount off their food menu to event visitors. A camping field is available behind the Cotton Arms over the road.

This year the event is supported by ‘3 Counties Connected Community Rail Partnership’ and their representative will be in attendance. Details of their work can be found on their website. www.3countiesconnected.org.uk

Wrenbury-cum-Frith Parish Council

• Supports the 20’s Plenty for Cheshire East campaign;
• Calls on Cheshire East County Council to implement 20mph in Wrenbury; and
• Will write to Cheshire East County Council to request 20mph speed limits on streets throughout Cheshire East where people live, work, shop, play or learn, with 30mph as the exception on those roads, where full consideration of the needs of vulnerable road users allows a higher limit.

I would like to provide you with a quick update regarding the forthcoming highway maintenance work on Station Road and Wrenbury Road, Wrenbury.

• As part of our risk based approach this weekend 11^th and 12th June the spray injection patching machine will be repairing areas of the road as a temporary method of improving the carriageway surface for all users. This will be outside The Grange and the Mill at Aston.

               This work will be carried out under temporary mobile working traffic management.

• Please be assured that this treatment is not the final stage of carriageway treatment intended for Station Road and Wrenbury Road, but will improve the situation until the drainage issues have been identified and resolved, and we are in a position to then programme the Level 3 resurfacing work.
• There is a meeting planned on Monday 13^th June with highway engineers and Network Rail, in order to discuss and obtain permission to work within the restrictions of the level crossing safely.
• Once permissions are granted a full highway drainage CCTV survey will be carried out in the areas of concern. Any issues arising from the survey will be addressed leaving the highway ready for the resurfacing work to be programmed.

The council appreciates everyone’s patience in waiting for this work to be delivered.

Further updates will be issued as the scheme progresses.

This week sees the 8^th birthday of the Wrenbury & District Model Railway Club. They formed with just 12 members and although 4 members have passed away in those 8 years and others have moved out of the county, they now have 27 members. In addition to this growth in their numbers they have widened the variety of layouts they work on. N, 00, 0 gauge are well established and most recently 009 arrived in the form of a prize-winning layout ‘St Margaret’s Old Quay’ which had been in storage for many years and was in need of a major upgrade. All 4 gauges will be running at their Open Doors event in the Wrenbury Village Hall Friday evening the 1^st of July and all day Saturday the 2^nd along with other visiting layouts and railway items.

The club has been invited to attend a number of outside events during the year and hope to see you at one or more of these. To ensure the safe transit of their portable layouts they are seeking a sponsor for a bespoke trailer which also offers that sponsor an advertising opportunity.

Visitors are welcome any Wednesday evening in the Wrenbury village hall between 7 and 10pm where members can offer advice about other aspects of their hobby plus a free drink and biscuit.

Their web site keeps the various photo albums of their progress updated and carries all their contact details.
