Adlington

The countryside around Adlington has a rich history, a remarkable variety of wildlife, and a long tradition of farming that has shaped the landscape for centuries.

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

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?

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.

• 7th March 2026 - Roadshow Awareness Campaign
• 18th April 2026 - Community Planning Alliance Day of Action

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.

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.
