CwaC Local Plan Conversation 2021
The Cheshire West and Chester Local Plan runs to 2030 and sets out, amongst other things, how many new homes are needed and where they should be built but also where land should be protected from development. Our Local Plan also sets out how new development should take place by setting out policies on the design of buildings and how trees should be protected.
Our Local Plan is kept under regular review to determine whether a new Plan is needed or if some policies need to change to reflect changing priorities.
We are thinking about whether the Council’s current Local Plan needs to be updated to reflect changing circumstances and new priorities such as the climate emergency, poverty and health and we would like you to join the conversation to help us decide whether we need to the change the plan.
The consultation will run from Wednesday 23 June 2021 to 5pm on Wednesday 15 September 2021.

Roger Toft
After a long illness endured with great dignity, Roger died peacefully at home on Friday 18th June 2021 at the age of 90.
He led a full and active life and will be remembered, particularly by older residents of Kingsley, as being a prime mover in the building of Kingsley Community Centre. Without the efforts of Roger and a small group of friends, it is likely that the village would not have a Community Centre. They came up with the idea during gatherings at the Red Bull around 1970 and developed it into a plan to find the means of funding, a site and gaining planning approval. Moving forward, they assembled a small army of volunteers who helped with funding and then rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in with the actual work of construction.
Roger was born and grew up in Ince and spent the whole of his working life with Shell. After graduating from Loughborough University, he qualified as a Chartered Chemist and worked in research and development where he specialised in lubricants, becoming a world authority in that field. This also led to his work in crystallography.

Mobile Phone Upgrade Scam 10/06/2021
|
||||
|
||||
| Dear Resident, The National Fraud Intelligence Bureau are aware of an ongoing scam where consumers are being cold called by individuals impersonating employees of legitimate mobile network operators and suppliers. Victims are offered early handset upgrades, or new contracts, at significant discounts. Once customers have been convinced that the deals are genuine and agree to proceed, suspects then ask for their online mobile account credentials, including log-ins, address and bank account details. Suspects then place orders with genuine companies on behalf of victims, however select a different handset to that requested and have it shipped to the customer’s address. Upon receipt, suspects assure victims that this has been an error and instruct them to ‘return’ the handset to a different address not affiliated to the mobile company. These addresses are usually residential. Upon intercepting the ‘returned’ handsets, the suspects cease contact and victims find themselves stuck with no phone and liable for the entirety of a new contract taken out in their name. The NFIB have received over 300 reports since January 2020 with reported losses in excess of £86,000. What you need to do - Cold calls about mobile upgrades and contracts - If you’re unsure that the person calling you is an official representative of the company they claim to be from, hang up and do not reveal any personal information. Only contact your mobile network provider on a number you know to be correct. For example, 191 for Vodafone customers, 150 for EE customers, 333 for Three customers, 202 for O2 customers, 4455 for Tesco Mobile, 789 for Virgin Mobile and 150 for Sky Mobile. If you receive a device that you did not order or expect, contact the genuine sender immediately. The details for this will be within the parcel. NEVER post a device directly to a given address. All genuine Mobile Network Operators would send out a jiffy bag for you to return without you incurring additional cost. If you have been a victim of fraud or cyber crime, report it to Actionfraud.police.uk, or by calling 0300 123 2040.
