This summary is based on the Stop Adlington New Town mailing list report summary emails (so far, more is to follow).

The report begins with a simple question. Is a new town at Adlington needed at all?

The proposed new town has left many in Adlington feeling excluded from decisions that will directly affect their lives. Plans have been led by organisations and individuals who are not part of this community, while local knowledge and concerns have been ignored or sidelined. This page exists to give space to the voices of residents — through their own words, stories, and videos — so they are no longer overlooked.

Today marked a historic moment for our campaign, the largest turnout we have ever seen, with over 600 people standing shoulder to shoulder in support of Adlington.

We were delighted to be featured on Silk FM yesterday, as they covered the Adlington New Town proposal and helped spread the word across Cheshire.

Local residents from Adlington appeared on GB News today to voice concerns about the government’s proposed new town development in the area.

Your Voice Matters

Please take a few minutes to write or email those concerned.

If you haven’t already written to your MP and the key decision-makers about the Adlington proposals, please consider doing so before it’s too late. Personal letters and emails really do make a difference, and the more of us who speak up, the stronger our community’s voice will be.

You don’t need to be an expert or write anything complicated. What matters is that you share your concerns in your own words.

Today, the front page of the Congleton Chronicle featured the campaign to stop Adlington New Town, highlighting the issues it would cause for Congleton residents.
