PETITION TO CHANGE CHESHIRE EAST COUNCIL

I am supporting the campaign to #ChangeCheshireEast from the existing Cabinet System, to a new Committee System of governance. The campaign, which is non-political, aims simply to ensure that whichever political group is in control of the Council has to make decisions in a way that is more open, transparent and democratic. Under the current system, the majority of the decisions are made by just eight members of cabinet who then ensure that other members of their group are "whipped" to support them. Under a Committee System, all decisions would be debated openly and all Councillors would get an equal say. I would like to ask all residents to support this campaign by signing our petition at www.changecheshireeast.org or by using the QR code to the right of this article. Thank you!
