Your attention is drawn to the following:

 

PLANNING

Planning applications are dealt with by Cheshire West and Chester Council. Most applications are determined under delegated authority by Council Officers. The remainder are determined by the Council’s planning committee which consists of elected Councillors. Prior to the determination of a planning application there is a consultation period during which anyone may submit objections, support, comments, observations in writing/on line.

The Council will not normally answer questions contained in these submissions. Residents are free to contact their Cheshire West and Chester Councillor about a planning application. Cuddington Parish Council are a consultee for all planning applications in their area. These are considered at each Parish Council meeting and objections / comments forwarded to the planning authority.

“REPORT IT” SCHEME

Many services provided by the Council are subject to a “REPORT IT” scheme such as the reporting of pot holes in the road, pavement trip hazards, fly tipping, blocked drains causing flooding on road. The list is extensive. You are encouraged to report via the website ( Click here ). You may also report by phone or at a Council Service Centre.

 

DOMESTIC REFUSE COLLECTION AND RECYCLING

Council policy is to improve recycling rates and reduce the amount of waste going to landfill. Everyone is encouraged to recycle. The appropriate boxes are obtainable free from the Council. It is important that the contents of bins and boxes do not blow away in the wind. Lids to boxes are provided by the Council or alternatively the contents may be secured in other ways.

To help increase food waste recycling we need to raise awareness and help make it even easier for our customers to recycle more food waste. The Recycle First collection service collects your food waste every week.

HEDGE AND TREE TRIMMING

These should be reported to the Council in cases where the hedge or tree are Council owned or clearly the responsibility of the Council. If not Cuddington Parish Council may be able to help.

 

WINTER GRITTING

The Council grit the roads in anticipation of bad weather in accordance with priorities established and which are regularly reviewed. There are primary routes and when completed the Council will do the secondary routes. However, it is possible to contact the Council and request an area to be gritted. It is also possible for the Council to supply a grit bin at roadside in appropriate locations.
