Council
0074/ir
2nd May 2008
The 2008 Cheshire East
Elections were concluded today following the count process which
has seen a total of 81 Councillors elected to represent residents
within the Cheshire East area. The Cheshire East Unitary
Authority will be fully operational from 1st April 2009 and,as a
result, will see the abolition of Crewe & Nantwich, Congleton
and Macclesfield Borough Councils and Cheshire County Council.
During this transitional
year, the Cheshire East Shadow Council will work alongside existing
Councils to ensure a seamless handover to the new arrangements in
the Spring of 2009.
Arrangements have been made to hold the first
meeting of the Cheshire East Unitary Shadow Council, on Tuesday
13th May 2008, in the Council Chamber at the Municipal
Buildings, based in Crewe.
Councillor Maurice Jones, Mayor of Crewe &
Nantwich Borough Council, said: "I am delighted that Crewe
has been chosen as host of the first meeting of the Shadow
Council. The facilities at the Municipal Buildings are
excellent and very fitting for this prestigious and historic
occasion. This is extremely good news for the area.”
