Current consultations

We are looking to produce an Inclusion Strategy for Cheshire East which puts a strong emphasis on promoting high-quality inclusive practice for all children and young people.

This consultation, along with the preparatory work undertaken, builds upon prior initiatives and feedback received during earlier meetings on the initial draft proposal. An online survey has now been developed to gain additional perspectives on the Inclusion Strategy before consolidating the findings.

Closes Friday, 1 August 2025

We want to make active travel a natural choice for more of our residents; so, it’s important that we plan the transport network to enable safe, comfortable and efficient active journeys.

Since our Cycling Strategy was adopted in 2017, Government policy has evolved to consider all modes of active travel and so now is the time develop a new Active Travel Strategy.

To help deliver on our ambition within the Active Travel Strategy, we are developing a suite of Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs) 

We would welcome your feedback, which will help shape the Active Travel Strategy and the LCWIPs for the borough.

Local Nature Recovery Strategy consultation

Local Nature Recovery Strategies will act as the blueprint for how to improve nature in local areas to help wildlife thrive, improve our ecological network, and target investment in nature where it could help us adapt to climate change and improve the places we live, work and play.

The Strategy for Cheshire will cover the whole of Cheshire and include Warrington. It will be led by Cheshire West and Chester Council, supported by Warrington, Cheshire East, Peak District National Park, Natural England and our Local Nature Partnership. This consultation is on the first draft of the strategy and will be open until 4 April 2025.

Countryside parks and rangers service

If you have recently attended one of the ranger service events or visited one of the sites we manage, we really want to hear from you. Help us to improve our sites and events by completing our surveys.
