👮 Recent figures show that 259 police officers have been recruited in Cheshire as part of the Conservative Government’s pledge to put 20,000 more officers on the streets by March 2023.

This means more officers on patrol, bearing down on anti-social behaviour and violent crime.

Bringing the new headquarters of GBR to Crewe would deliver highly-skilled and highly-paid jobs for a number of Eddisbury residents.

I urge everybody across our constituency to vote for this great opportunity for Central and South Cheshire.

🚗 I am glad to see that Coole Lane has been reinstated as a gritting route after months of campaigning by residents and Councillor Rachel Bailey.

Back in December, I witnessed first-hand the danger this ungritted road posed to residents and drivers.
