Pingot Lane Planning Inquiry

The appeal inquiry for the PIngot Lane planning applications commenced on Wednesday 3rd April, and ran for 3 days. 

The Planning Inspector has now issued his decision which grants temporary (5 year) personal planning permission to the applicants.

The full decision letter can be accessed here.  There are certain planning conditions which must be adhered to, and these are detailed on pages 12 and 13.

 

Measles - Increase in Cases

Due to an increase in measles cases across the country this year, including the recent outbreak in the West Midlands, Cheshire West and Chester Council is encouraging everyone to check that they and their children have had two doses of the MMR vaccine.  The MMR vaccine is a free, safe and effective way to protect against measles, mumps and rubella.

We would appreciate local residents' help to spread this message throughout our community and help increase vaccine uptake as measles can have serious and sometimes fatal consequences.

Operation Park Safe rolled out across Cheshire Constabulary

Cheshire residents will now be able to report public illegal parking problems online after a trial project in Crewe was given the green light to be rolled out across the county.

To report parking issues as part of Operation Park Safe, visit cheshire.police.uk/park-safe. Please read the instructions on how to report an issue carefully, to ensure you click on the correct option.

Operation Park Safe is a project which allows members of the public to report parking issues online through the Cheshire Police website.

As part of the scheme, residents can upload videos and photographs of offending vehicles to the website where they will be assessed by an experienced traffic officer, who will triage and deal with any dangerous parking offences.

Any minor traffic obstructions or community impact issues will be allocated to the local PCSO or Beat officers to deal with in an appropriate manner.

The operation was piloted across Crewe LPU in January and will now be rolled out force-wide from Thursday 1 February.

What residents will need to do:

  • You will need to provide a written statement about the offence, including the date and time it happened. This can be completed electronically.
  • You will need to provide us with your name, address, date of birth, and contact details.
  • You may be required to attend court if the matter is contested.
  • Do NOT challenge the driver or get involved in confrontation.
  • Do NOT put yourself at risk to obtain a photograph.

What officers will do:

  • The Roads and Crime Unit will triage the report and will deal with the person responsible. This may include issuing fines or educational courses depending on the severity of the offence committed.

Offences officers will deal with:

  • Vehicles parked on or in a crossing area: This includes the area covered by zig-zag lines.
  • Parking on white lines: People cannot stop or park on a road marked with double white lines, even when a broken white line is on your side of the road, except to pick up or set down passengers, or to load or unload. This includes the pavement or verge.
  • Forcing pedestrians to walk in the road: This includes parking on the pavement where there is not enough room for pedestrians to get past.
  • Parking at/on a junction: Vehicles cannot stop, park opposite or within 10m of a junction.
  • School parking offences: People cannot stop or park on the zig-zag lines or keep clear markings.
  • Parking on a cycle track
  • Parking a goods vehicle on the road: Vehicles with a maximum laden weight of more than 7.5 tonnes (including trailers) cannot park on a verge, pavement, or any land situated between carriageways, without police permission. The only exception is when this is essential for loading and unloading, but the vehicle cannot be left unattended.

What officers can’t deal with:

  • Single and double yellow line offences: These are local authority parking enforcement only.
  • Pavement parking: This is where there is still room for pedestrians to get past without having to go into the road.

Cyber Fraud Prevention

Data from Action Fraud, the national fraud and cybercrime reporting service, shows that 22,530 people reported that their online accounts had been hacked in 2023, with victims losing a total of £1.3 million.

How to secure your accounts

  • Use a strong and different password for your email and social media accounts. Your email and social media passwords should be strong and different from all your other passwords. Combining three random words that each mean something to you is a great way to create a password that is easy to remember but hard to crack.
  • Turn on 2-Step Verification (2SV) for your email and social media accounts. 2-Step Verification (2SV) gives you twice the protection so even if cyber criminals have your password, they can't access your email or social media account. 2SV works by asking for more information to prove your identity. For example, getting a code sent to your phone when you sign in using a new device or change settings such as your password. You won't be asked for this every time you check your email or social media.

If you live in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and have been a victim of fraud or cybercrime, report it at www.actionfraud.police.uk or by calling 0300 123 2040.

If you receive a suspicious email, you can report it by forwarding the email to: report@phishing.gov.uk.
