Current consultations

At Cheshire East Council, we are committed to fostering a workplace and community that is inclusive, equitable, and celebrates the diverse population we serve.

As part of our ongoing efforts to develop a robust Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) strategy, we are conducting this survey to explore your experiences of EDI in Cheshire East. We also ask for your views on a first draft of an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2025-2029.

Closes Sunday, 20 July 2025

Work has begun across the partnership to develop a refreshed Domestic and Sexual Violence Partnership Strategy for 2025 - 2028 and we would now like your views on this.

We would also like to gain your views and seek your suggestions on our safe accommodation and support services.

The feedback provided will inform our refreshed strategy as well as our review of the safe accommodation service model for 2026 and beyond. 

Closes Friday, 25 July 2025

On-going consultations

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.
