SUCCESS – NO PARKING CHARGES FOR ALSAGER!
Happy to report that the Highways & Transport Committee of Cheshire East Council voted against the proposals and consultation, meaning that charges will not be coming to towns like Alsager. Well done to all those who spoke, myself, Cllr Sue Helliwell, Cllr June Buckley and others from other towns. And a big thank you to all the residents, businesses and organisations who also added on the pressure with emails and petitions. A fantastic win for Alsager.

The quiz night it returning at Alsager Golf Club, Wednesday fortnightly starting 6 October, 7.30 pm. Maximum of 4 per team, £6 per person including a light supper.
Crewe Lyceum
With thanks to Alsager Chronicle
After 500 days of closure Crewe Lyceum has now re-opened in time to celebrate its 110th birthday. Over the next 12 months it will honour the theatre's history, not only as a setting in which to host acts and live entertainment but also as a community asset.
Bin collection
With thanks to Alsager Chronicle
Cheshire East are still experiencing a shortage of HGV drivers leading to some missed bin collections. Residents are asked to be patient and understanding.
Equal rights football
With thanks to Alsager Chronicle
Alsager Football Club has now created its first all-girl team, AFC Meercats, to represent the town's community football club. They played their first game last Sunday having been together just 5 days. Although AFC will have been in Alsager for 10 years in 2022, and despite having more than 20 registered teams, this is the first all-girls team.
