Current consultations

At Cheshire East Council, we are on an exciting journey to shape how we provide support services for carers, with carers. We want to hear more about your experiences as a carer and what is most important to you.

This survey is for you if:

  • You are 18 years of age or older and provide care/support, unpaid, to a family member or friend who cannot manage without your help due to illness, disability, mental health problem or an addiction;
  • You care for someone who lives in Cheshire East borough (you might live in Cheshire East, or you might live in a different area)
  • You no longer provide care for a loved one, but you were caring for someone in the past

Councillors and council Officers are responsible for putting together the budget for 2026 to 2030, which is called a "Medium Term Financial Strategy"

We’re facing a forecast funding gap of £18.2m for 2026/27 – down from £33m earlier this year – thanks to hard work and early savings. But challenges still remain.

This consultation sets out a number of proposals that could potentially be included in this Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS), as well as continuous savings from programmes previously identified in our MTFS for 2025–2029.
