Latest News From the Campaign

It’s a Community Fun Day to mark the Community Planning Alliance Day of Action .

The announcement that Adlington has been removed from the government’s list of proposed new towns marks a significant and hard-fought victory for our community. This outcome is a testament to what can be achieved when people come together with a shared purpose and determination to protect the place they call home.

A new report from CPRE Cheshire raises serious concerns about proposals to build a large new town on Green Belt land around Adlington.

The report questions the suitability of the site for a development of 14,000–20,000 homes, which could house up to 50,000 people—effectively creating a new town the size of nearby Macclesfield.

Two recent reports from Smart Growth UK raise significant concerns about the Government’s push for large new settlements, including the proposed new town at Adlington.

This weekend our campaign team took to the road, bringing the message about the proposed Adlington New Town directly to neighbouring towns and villages.

Today, our supporters showed out in force at Tatton Park for the Cheshire East Council meeting to remind councillors we’re still here.

On Saturday 7th March, we’ll be taking the Adlington campaign on the road.

We’re setting off in a decorated minibus to visit surrounding towns and villages to raise awareness about the proposed development in Adlington and speak directly with local residents about what’s happening.

Canalside Radio’s Nick Wright, today interviewed the leader of Cheshire East Council, Nick Mannion. Amongst the discussions of devolution and council budget, the Adlington New Town proposal featured.

Following the protest at Tatton Park we have some more events planned.

Details are still being worked out so watch this space.
