Alsager Station was awarded with a working to become dementia friendly status at the virtual Cheshire Best Kept Station Awards 2020.

The project, which forms part of helping Alsager become a dementia friendly destination, included improved station signage, a dementia friendly awareness training session for station adopters and other community members.

A dementia friendly walking route from the station to the town centre will feature in the 'Rails to Trails' collection of short walks from stations on the line produced by North Staffordshire Community Rail Partnership.

The winners were announced by Cheshire Best Kept Stations' chairman, Mark Barker, through a YouTube ceremony.

Cheshire Best Kept Stations are now planning individual awards presentations for the different stations, which will probably take place in the new year.
