Cheshire East Council is currently in the process of putting together its budget for next year.

The purpose of this short survey is to understand what your priorities are for the council to consider when putting together its budget.

Your feedback will help us put together the draft budget, with feedback to be taken into consideration at Full Council on 25 February 2026.

Cheshire East Council is recommissioning its Sexual Health Service, and we want to hear from you. 

We are keen to understand what people think - what’s working, what isn’t, and how services could be improved. Your feedback will help shape a service that better meets the needs of our communities and improve access to testing, treatment and support.

There are two surveys one aimed at adults aged 20 and over and one aimed at young people aged 13-19.

Closes Friday, 14 November 2025

Cheshire East Council is working to update the Local Transport Plan (LTP) for the borough, and we would like you to share your views to inform the development of the plan.

Since our LTP was adopted in 2019, the way people move around has changed significantly. We've developed an updated LTP Strategy and Investment Framework to ensure our transport policies remain robust, relevant, and responsive to the needs of Cheshire East.

We gathered views from residents, businesses, and community groups who called for more inclusive access, better public transport, safer walking and cycling routes, and stronger environmental commitments. However, this is just the start of the process – we now need you to let us know whether you think we are on the right lines. This is your opportunity to help us build a transport network that works for everyone.

Closes Sunday, 7 December 2025
