CHESHIRE EAST HIGHWAYS TRIBUTE TO NHS STAFF


The Cheshire East Council Highways team, alongside their partners, have painted symbols of thanks outside two local NHS hospitals at Macclesfield and at Leighton, Crewe. These are a mark of appreciation for the NHS frontline staff for all their hard work during this difficult and demanding time. The teams installed the artwork during time out from their essential day-to-day duties.

The opportunity to do this, to applaud the efforts of each and every healthcare professional was one that the team didn’t want to miss and was made possible during the quieter period on the roads due to the current lockdown. The work was carried out on Thursday 16th April and timed-in with our weekly clap for the carers. 

This work has been shared on Cheshire East Council’s social media pages, where residents and other local organisations have joined the council to spread their messages of thanks to all the NHS staff. It is hoped that the artwork will brighten the days of all those staff, symbolise everyone’s gratitude and remind them that we are #AllInThisTogether
