Consultation

The consultation went well - and was delighted that it was publicised by Silk FM and the Macc Express. James from CPP also hovered outside the school and reminded all the parents, so I'm truly confident that everyone on the estate had a chance to have their say.

The feedback was 99% positive and people were delighted with the plans. There were no negative responses, but the other 1% was the expected "it'll only get trashed" argument.

I dare say that at some point in many years to come it probably will - but as residents of Macclesfield West we shouldn't not improve our habitat lest that might happen.

It's a bit like refusing to wash your car in case it gets dirty again (more on car washing tomorrow).

And more to the point, we must take pride in these facilities once we have them and not allow anyone to damage them. We all live near the area and pass it on a daily basis, we can all keep an eye on it.

Many many thanks go out to James, the Guys at SilkFM, Karen from the Express, the staff at the Childrens Centre and especially Beth from Groundwork Cheshire for making all of this happen.
