I've been enjoying the new Cheshire East website recently. It looks a lot better than the old one, and us Councillors were "consulted" on what the new site looked like. Which was nice, except we only had three choices and the other two were rubbish. Great choice.
Anyway, delighted to see that everyone is going to get "consulted" on the new budget:

Except most of the meetings are by invitation only?
The idea initially sounds good, but surely it doesn't really work if you decide who comes?
Welcome to my blog.
I was elected as Councillor for Macclesfield West in May 2008. I live in the centre of the ward with my Wife and Westie, and when I'm not a Councillor I'm a Scout Leader and I run a small consultancy business.
I'm equally at home cycling around the town as I am walking the dog up Shutlingsloe – Macclesfield is one of the few places that can provide this town and country balance.
This blog is intended to give the residents of Macclesfield West an insight into the work that I am doing on their behalf. This could be better services and facilities for children and young people, or perhaps trying to achieve a better plan for the Macclesfield Town Centre redevelopment. At all times I'm keen on reducing costs and keeping council tax as low as possible.
The blog is intended to be little lighthearted at times, perhaps irreverent but never irrelevant. You're encouraged to comment on each post and have your say - it's a great way to debate the issues of the day.
How can I contact the Council?
