Staff at Lawton Manor Care Home were delighted to be invited to have the Covid-19 vaccination by Mere Park Medical Centre which was facilitated by the Thirteen Club in Alsager yesterday (Wednesday).

Councillors agreed to carry out a longer two staged approach to the town centre's public realm consultation, to ensure the entire Alsager population can express their views and not be "disenfranchised" due to Covid-19.

For Alsager's town centre to thrive, the town council believes it is imperative that car parking charges are not introduced.

Since Cheshire East was created in 2009, car parking policies across the borough have differed from town to town.

Following claims that Alsager Town Council meetings had sometimes become "quite toxic" for a "good number of years", councillors agreed to adopt an anti-bullying charter.

After Cheshire East Council recently agreed to adopt an anti-bullying charter, Cllr Michael Unett proposed that Alsager Town Council adopted the same charter and agreed to adhere to the same principles.
