Budget Prioritisation Survey 2026
Budget Prioritisation Survey 2026
How should Cheshire East Council prioritise its budget?
Cheshire East Council is seeking residents' views on which services should be prioritised as we plan future budgets. Like many councils, we are facing rising costs and increasing demand for services, meaning difficult decisions will need to be made about how resources are allocated.
This short survey asks you to consider these choices and tell us what matters most to you. Your feedback will help inform the development of the council's budget and will be reflected in the information presented to councillors when budget decisions are made.

Housing Allocations Policy Consultation 2026
Housing Allocations Policy Consultation 2026
Cheshire East Council’s Housing Service is reviewing the Housing Allocations Policy (also known as the Cheshire Homechoice Common Allocations Policy), which sets out how social housing is allocated in Cheshire East.
Social housing is in very high demand in the borough, so it is important that homes are allocated fairly and to those most in need.
We are proposing a small number of updates to the policy and are now asking for your views.
