Q1 Would you like to have a village centre?

Yes No N/A N/R

55 14 20 2

There was high response rate to this question with the majority liking the idea of a village centre.

To explore what sites may be appropriate and their availability. The Parish Council are keen to be involved and lead with input from the Working Group Preliminary discussions have taken place with the Canal and Rivers Trust. Continuing discussions about Reading Room future and possible relocation. Also starting discussions about use of Canalside for leisure purposes. Impact of potential bypass may be an improvement.

All of these amenities are given support with the outdoor leisure space being the least supported.

Links in with Question 1 above. A meeting has been held with Baileys regarding access to the tow path and hopefully residents will support the shop when it is opened. Discussions have started with the Canal and Rivers Trust with regard to access to the tow path from Baileys. Increasing the number of houses in Calveley and Alpraham is going to make the environment more ‘sustainable’. Baileys and the Wardle Garage facilities need to be accessible from the tow path (see discussions with Canal and River Trust).

Q6(a) Does the electricity supply to your address fluctuate unduly?

Yes No N/V

22 62 7

Less than one quarter of respondents reported a problem. However, given the variation in supply method across the community it is probable that these respondents are located in the back lanes areas with overhead power supplies.

Contact infrastructure provider and report the problem. Request a survey of all overhead/ underground cables to identify problems. If/when problems are identified agree an action plan to remedy. Review remedy when advised complete. A list of those affected will be compiled. Residents were invited to email the Clerk if they were affected but to date no contact has been made. The invitation will be extended for another three months and if there is no interest this matter will be dropped from the Action Plan for the time being. United Utilities have replaced approx. 10 poles and associated overhead cabling in the Fields Farm area and this has resulted in a marked improvement to the supply in terms of fluctuations and interruptions.

Q12 Are you happy with the maintenance of the roadside verges provided by Cheshire East? .

Yes No N/V

30 50 11

More than half of respondents are dissatisfied. This indicates the perception of the poor standard of maintenance generally on the back lanes. This is exacerbated by a number of issues:

• Increased use of back lanes as a ‘rat run’

• increased use by agricultural plant and machinery where farms are now made up of separated parcels of land

• reluctance of farmers, landowners and contractors to recognise their responsibility for clearing away mud caused by them

• Increased size of agricultural machinery

• Increased traffic generally and especially delivery vehicles

Objectives are:

• deter none access traffic

• slow traffic down

• provide recognisable passing places

• protect remaining soft verges

• ensure farm workers and

contractors clear away mud These issues have to be addressed with Cheshire East Highways Draw up draft outline proposal/action plan Meet with Cheshire East and agree time scale for plan formalisation. Obtain budget commitment. Finalise working plan with Cheshire East Tender and implement

• Increased speed of

traffic and refusal by some drivers to give way causing vehicles to mount what is left of soft verges

Farmers implement mud clearance. Cheshire East acknowledge there is a serious problem. Funding for non-emergency work not available. WG asked for single carriageway with proper passing places. This is ongoing and weight limits are to be implemented on 15 February. Cheshire East will be actively enforcing this – To be implemented by the end of April 2015. The Working Group drew up detailed proposals for a scheme to provide sensible passing places along the Calveley Hall Lane which is the worst affected lane. After various meetings and correspondence CEC agreed to implement this in one location as a trial. This has been delivered but only in part, the passing places are still to be properly surfaced. Signs are in place. It is intended to expand this approach to other areas of the back lanes.

Q16(a) Do you regularly look at the notice boards in Calveley?

Yes No

29 57

Approximately half of recipients who replied look at the notice board on the A51. It is reasonable to deduce that these recipients live close to this notice board. Approximately one third of recipients look at the notice board outside the school. These are most likely parents collecting children from the school gate.

It is unlikely that people in the community make a special journey on a regular basis to view the notice boards. The disparate nature of the households in the area has resulted in a community that struggles to share communication. It is clear that the notice boards are not suitable at this time as the only means of communication. The working group will investigate the issue in more depth and produce options for how this can be addressed and most likely by the introduction of a web based notice board. (See Below) Progress being made in moving the notice boards to positions where residents are most likely to read them. Plans are underway to move the notice boards to their new position. The notice board outside the school has been re-positioned. The notice board positioned by the old Davenport Arms site will require to be moved when the development is started..

The population of Calveley is as follows: 10 years of age and under : 30 11-18 years of age : 16 Over 18 years of age : 120 Over 60 years of age : 60 At present very few local people are looking for alternative accommodation – the results show that 5 would prefer to buy locally and 3 to move to a more urban area. No-one is looking to rent locally. For the future 2 will need accommodation in 2 years, 4 within 5 years and 5 will be looking for accommodation within 10 years.

We have learned recently from Councillor Mike Jones that the official view of Cheshire East Council is that Calveley has “zero need for housing” (not to be confused with zero need locally), so each planning application to build new houses will be considered individually.

Q24 Does the reduction in street lighting on the A51 adversely affect you?

Yes No

Less than half of respondents felt that the current reduction in street lighting affected them. However, because this issue is one of safety the working group feels that it should be investigated more fully and if possible a solution found.

Raise the issue with both the Parish Council and Cheshire East Council and involve Highway engineers. Agree a course of action that will satisfy local people’s concerns and the objectives of Cheshire East. Alter the lighting regime on the A51 A suggestion that all street lighting be on until midnight will be put to CEC. The lack of street lighting is also affecting the ability of bus drivers to see potential passengers. This has been reported to Cheshire East. Requests have been made to Alpraham Parish Council to reinstate street lighting at the junction of the A51 with Long Lane where this is seen as a clear road safety issue. This is now being reviewed by Cheshire East Highways following a meeting with Calveley Parish Council representatives in mid-March 2015.

N/A

N/A

Suggested to be addressed by the Leader of Cheshire East Council

Establish a Working Group. Research and involve community by consultation. Produce and publish a Design Statement The Parish Council will review this issue with the Working Group to decide whether this is appropriate and/or necessary for Calveley. It might be sensible to review with Alpraham Parish Council but this would require Alpraham to support. There is no evidence of this to date.
