Sorting Out the Gate and Illegal Encampment Issues at Frank Webb Avenue and Brooklands Grove
As your local councillor, I am committed to responding swiftly and effectively to the concerns of residents. Recently, I was alerted to an issue affecting the field between Frank Webb Avenue and Brooklands Grove, where an illegal encampment had been set up. Upon receiving these reports, I immediately contacted the Cheshire and Warrington Traveller Team….
Leighton Brook Clean-Up – Community in Action
I was proud to be joined by a small but incredibly dedicated group of volunteers as we rolled up our sleeves, pulled on our wellies, and got stuck into cleaning up the brook that runs through Leighton Brook Park. This isn’t glamorous work. It’s muddy, smelly, and physically demanding. But it’s work that matters…

It affects the community’s sense of safety and pride, and cleaning…
Fixing our roads in Crewe – Underwood Lane
I’ve been out on Underwood Lane again recently, taking a close look at the dreadful state of the road. This is something I’ve been reporting for many months now, and frankly, I’ve lost count of the number of potholes I’ve flagged up. Unfortunately, the repairs carried out so far have often been patchy and short-lived….
Evening & Sunday Car Parking Charges in Crewe & Nantwich – Bananas Decisions?
You may have seen this photo doing the rounds in the media – I recently took it outside Delamere House, Cheshire East Council’s HQ in Crewe. It’s sparked quite a bit of conversation, and rightly so. Many of us are scratching our heads over the council’s decision to introduce car park charges during evenings and…

Redwood Drive Footpath Closure – Detailed Update
I wanted to provide a full update on the ongoing situation with the footpath on Redwood Drive, as I know many residents are concerned about the closure and what’s being done to resolve it. Back in 2023, Taylor Wimpey submitted a planning application proposing to relocate the footpath on Redwood Drive due to subsidence issues…
