School Climate Action Guide

Guide to help schools develop a school climate action plan

A guide to help schools to develop a climate action plan, a requirement set out by the Department for Education, has been developed by the Council’s Climate Change Team. Creating a climate action plan will help to set out the steps schools are taking to meet climate targets, providing an opportunity for students and staff to understand more about the topic and open up discussions about developing green skills. It could also help reduce energy bills and prepare schools to deal with the negative effects of climate change, such as overheating.

Cheshire West Crowd

Funding available for west Cheshire projects that tackle the Climate Emergency

Lots of local projects are live and fundraising on Cheshire West Crowd, with many projects put forward that are helping to improve the energy efficiency of properties or install renewable energy systems, such as solar panels or air source heat pumps. It’s not too late to get involved if you have a project that tackles the Climate Emergency by delivering quantifiable carbon benefits. The Climate Change emergency fund, worth £80,000, can provide capital investment for projects if they meet the funding criteria. The deadline to create your project, pass verification and launch your crowdfunding campaign is Friday, 26 September.

Recycling lorry

We all get recycling now do it right

Residents are being encouraged by the Council to build upon the borough’s excellent recycling rates by supporting communities to ‘recycle right’. The borough has one of the highest recycling rates in the country at over 59% but even more can be done to ensure the correct items are recycled. Specialist advisors will visit homes who have been identified as putting wrong items in their recycling containers, so they can be given more support through the Recycle Right campaign.

The following posted on behalf of Peter Storey (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.):
The intention is to have a table at this Charitable event for Kingsley Artists and Crafters to showcase their skills work.
Anything goes really, but we would need you to state how much you want for your work and we would ask that you either provide a percentage of your takings or make a donation to the charity. If you wish you can just exhibit your work and not sell it. The scope of things is vast of course and would cover items such as paintings, sculptures, carvings, prints, sewing, knitting, things made out of wood or metal, flower arranging and many more.

If you are interested in knowing more or want to submit items then please email me on

We're creating a new Local Transport Plan – and we want to make sure it works for everyone 

How we get around affects all our lives. Whether it’s bus, train, car, walking, cycling, wheeling and so on. Transport helps us get to work, school, shops and services. It connects our communities, friends, families, customers, services and suppliers. But in too many places across the borough, it isn’t working as it should. It needs to change. 

This plan sets out our long-term approach to transport across the borough. It’s about making transport fairer, greener, safer and more joined up. 

We've already heard from over a thousand people about the biggest challenges and priorities for transport across the borough through our early engagement. This has shaped the first part of a new Local Transport Plan, which we’re calling a Core Strategy. 

We want to know if you think we’ve got this right. Share your views to shape the future of local transport. 

What feels right? What needs changing? What have we missed? This is a conversation, and your views really do shape what happens next. 

Closing date: 17 August 2025 

For more information and to take part, please visit our consultation hub: www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/LTP4  

We’re keen to make sure that as many people as possible have the opportunity to respond to our consultation and we’d really appreciate your help in sharing this information with your partners and networks. 

There are several ways you can share your views: 

  • Write to us at: Let’s Talk about Transport, Insight and Intelligence, Cheshire West and Chester Council, The Portal, Wellington Road, Ellesmere Port, CH65 0BA  
  • Telephone: 0300 123 8123 quoting ‘Local Transport Plan’ and let us know your thoughts 

Paper and Easy Read versions as well as alternative formats of the consultation materials and survey are available on request using the details above.
