Interesting to see the Town Centre Development making the front page of the express again.
It does indeed seem like the development isn't going to go ahead in it's present form.
I personally am delighted by this. I thought, and still think, that it was the wrong type of development for us. Whilst we need something to be done, the plans on the table were going to do more harm than good.
I see this as a small moral victory for the "Plan B" campaign. But only a small one. I hope that we will all get a chance to get involved in putting a different plan for the town centre together, and only then will the victory be complete.
So, thinking hats on people.
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?
