 Native wildflower meadows, created by the Council’s StreetCare teams have been much-admired by residents and visitors this summer.
The displays of wildflowers were grown to give pollinators, like bees, a boost in the borough and definitely caused a buzz on social media, with lots of compliments.
The Council’s wildflower displays were created using a bespoke Cheshire seed mix that was created by the Wildflower Centre based at the Eden Project.

Consultation launches on new social housing tenants’ charter
A new charter is being designed to establish a fresh relationship between the Council and its social housing tenants.
The Social Housing White Paper in November 2020 realigned the relationship between landlord and tenant by giving greater powers to tenants and making landlords more accountable.
In response to the White Paper, the Council and its housing partner ForHousing have worked with a sample group of tenants to draft a tenants’ charter – Together with Tenants.
