COMMUNITY SURGERY - SATURDAY 24TH JUNE, 11AM

I am pleased to confirm that I will be holding my first community surgery of this electoral term (following my recent re-election in May), at Alderley Edge Library this Saturday morning. 

I introduced the idea of a community surgery eight years ago, following my election as Ward Councillor in 2015 and over that time a number of residents have taken advantage of the opportunity to come along and speak to me face-to-face about matters that are causing them concern.

For any resident who would like to speak to me but isn't available this Saturday, I can confirm that I will be holding a surgery on the last Saturday of each month, starting at 11am for the foreseeable future.

CCTV SYSTEM HELPS POLICE APPREHEND BURGLARS

CCTV operated by Cheshire East Council and funded by Alderley Edge Parish Council has played a key role in assisting police following a spate of burglaries in Alderley Edge & Wilmslow. Working out of our CCTV Control Room at Macclesfield, camera operators received reports of a burglary at West Bank, Alderley Edge; by scanning the adjacent area, they were able to track the offenders going back to their vehicle and hence, pass on the images and details to the police.

Stuart Hobson, CCTV Control Room Manager at Cheshire East Council said "our CCTV footage has now been placed on Facebook by the police and shows that without us locating them, the police would have had nothing to go on. Although we are regularly involved in these kinds of operation, it is not often that it makes the headlines; however, I like to think that this shows the vital work the CCTV Service carry out 24 hours per day to help people feel safer across our borough."
