Get involved – Local Cycling & Walking Infrastructure Plan consultation

Cheshire West and Chester – Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan Consultation

The Government’s Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy 2017 has the ambition to make walking and cycling the natural choice for shorter journeys.

There is recognition that realising this ambition will need sustained investment in cycling and walking infrastructure.

Cheshire West and Chester Council has declared a climate emergency and wishes to improve the cycling and walking routes across the borough to encourage residents to make more day to day short trips on cycle or on foot

To make this easier for residents, the Council has worked with partners to produce a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan for the borough, which consists of proposals for potential new walking and cycling routes.

The plan supports the Council’s ambitions to increase levels of walking and cycling in West Cheshire, improve access to jobs and services and, in doing so, to increase the health and wellbeing of our residents.

What we are consulting on

The Council has set out long-term priorities for improvements to infrastructure along cycling and walking routes in key urban areas of the borough and would like your views on these priorities, as well as any additional suggestions you have for improvements across Cheshire West.

How to take part

Details about our proposals and an online questionnaire can be found using the link below –

How your views will be used

What you tell us will be used to inform the development of these proposals. Following the end of the consultation period (consultation closes on 13th February 2020) the Council will consider all feedback and make any amendments thought necessary and incorporate them into the final Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan which will be finalised and approved by the Council in Spring 2020.

TV Reception Issue

Info received from a village resident.  Are you experiencing similar issues?

Over a few months, I have been having trouble with the TV reception from around 5 pm to approx 7 pm, it meant missing the end of programmes or half of them, the TV would become pixilated or I would lose the signal altogether,

I eventually called Freeview who asked me to unplug the Arial re-programme the TV, plug the Arial in again and repeat the operation which I did, this did not resolve the problem.

They then gave me a number to ring 0808 1313 800 which is a G4 contact Number, following conversation they sent me two filters to fit one as the Arial enters the house and the other just before the TV, I did this and left it a couple of weeks to monitor the situation, the problem returned.

I again called the G4 number to report the outcome, following this called they sent out two engineers to take readings and if required take the necessary action, on arrival the engineers took meter readings and found my TV signal from Winter Hill was being overpowered by the signal from the G4 mast in the Village, they then went on the roof and fitted a filter to my Arial, came back down and took more readings which appear to have suppressed the signal from the mast, we now have reception even on the spare TV in the spare bedroom.
 
I am relating this long drawn out narrative because the engineers informed me they had been to several properties in the Village, and maybe if villagers were made aware they would not need to pursue the frustrating path I trod.
