“🚮 Crewe and Nantwich residents are rightly worried about Cheshire East’s plan to move to three-weekly black bin collections. After the consultation, the message is clear: this move could lead to overflowing bins, fly-tipping, and health risks in our communities.
We need a practical approach that doesn’t leave our streets at risk! Read more about the strong community response below – it’s time the council listened and rethought this plan. 🛑💪

Labour’s Budget Betrayal: Higher Costs, Broken Promises, and Our Pensioners Left in the Cold ❄️💥
Labour promised growth 📈, support for small businesses 🏢, and dignity for our pensioners 👴👵—but the reality of their Budget tells a different story. First, they slashed the winter fuel allowance 🔥, leaving our pensioners struggling with rising costs to stay warm. Now, Chancellor Rachel Reeves is hitting small businesses with a 1.2% rise in National Insurance 💸. This isn’t growth; it’s a tax burden that means smaller pay rises 💷, fewer job opportunities 📉, and a squeeze on the cost of living for everyone in Crewe.
As a business owner, I’ve had to make difficult choices—pausing expansion plans 🚫 and rethinking job offers 👔. Crewe deserves better than policies that burden our local economy and make life tougher for our residents.
Keir Starmer recently said, “actions speak louder than words,” but Labour’s actions don’t match their promises 🤔. We need leaders who stand by their promises and take real action to support Crewe. Together, let’s hold Labour accountable and make sure Crewe’s voice is heard! 💪🇬🇧

🚨 Our Labour leaders have turned their backs on our pensioners! 🚨
First, the Labour government cut support for our pensioners, and now Labour-run Cheshire East refuses to debate a critical motion that could help the most vulnerable get the support they deserve this winter. ❄️
Pension Credit eligibility awareness must happen now—not after vulnerable residents have endured freezing temperatures. 🌡️ We must act before it's too late.
I stand for protecting our pensioners. Let’s not allow red tape to leave them in the cold.

🚗🚸 Ensuring Our Children's Safety 🚸🚗
Now, I heard it time and time again on the doorstep – the school run has become an absolute battleground. Parents, guardians, road users, let’s not add to the pandemonium! The zigzag lines, double yellows, and driveways are not parking spaces. They’re there for a reason – to ensure clear visibility and keep our children safe.
❌ No parking on zigzag lines
❌ No parking on double yellows
❌ No blocking driveways
This is about common sense and responsibility. Let’s stop turning school drop-offs into chaos and work together with schools and local authorities to make our streets safe again. It’s time to step up, do the right thing, and keep Crewe’s roads clear and safe for everyone. 👏

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Dame Maggie Smith, a true British legend who has left an indelible mark on my life and on the lives of so many others.
Her performances were nothing short of magical—she had the rare ability to make you laugh, cry, and reflect all at once. Whether it was in Downton Abbey, Sister act or Harry Potter, Dame Maggie brought an unmatched brilliance to every role, capturing the hearts of generations.
For me, she will always represent the very best of British culture—sharp, witty, and utterly unforgettable. Her legacy will continue to inspire us all.
Rest in peace, Dame Maggie. You will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

🚨 THREAT TO OUR BIN COLLECTIONS! CREWE WEST, IT’S TIME TO TAKE A STAND! 🚨 As someone who’s had the privilege of standing for Crewe West, I’ve always believed in common sense and straightforward action. But now, our Labour-led Cheshire East Council is on a mission to make our lives harder by cutting black bin collections from every 2 weeks to every 3 weeks! 🗑️❌ This isn’t just a minor inconvenience—it’s an outright disaster! Overflowing bins, rubbish piling up, and fly-tipping everywhere! Do we really want to see our streets covered in trash? Is this what we want for the proud people of Crewe West? Let’s not kid ourselves—Crewe is already the fly-tipping capital of Cheshire East! Last year alone, we had a shocking 3,242 fly-tipping incidents in Crewe, making up over three-quarters of the borough’s total. This new plan will only make things worse, turning our beautiful community into a dumping ground. Well, we’re not having it! We will fight this, we will be heard, and we will make sure the council knows we won’t accept their foolish plan! 💬 Let’s rise up and defend our bin collections! Speak out NOW by telling the council what you think—loud and proud: 👉 surveys.cheshireeast.gov.uk/s/HouseholdWaste2024/ Or email: CEConsultation@cheshireeast.gov.uk Or call: 0300 123 5011 and make your voice impossible to ignore! And don’t stop there—write to your elected councillor, Ben Wye for Crewe West, and demand that he stands with us to oppose this lunacy. Crewe West deserves better! Let’s make a noise they can’t ignore! Let’s stop this madness and keep Crewe West clean and proud!

🔥 A Sudden Change of Heart, Connor? 🔥
Connor Naismith, just days ago, I wrote to you urging a vote against the cuts to the Winter Fuel Allowance. Instead, you sent back a party-line response and voted for it. Now, after public backlash, you’re calling for a review — is this genuine concern or just damage control? 🤔
Your party may have put you in a tough spot, but you could have at least abstained to show it was wrong. No review was done on the impact to life or illness these cuts could cause for those just above the Pension Credit line. And with no support until April’s rise — meant for all costs, not just heating — it’s too little, too late. ❄️⚠️
We need you to be better and stand up for us moving forward. Represent the people who elected you, not just the party line. 💬

🚨 Disappointed in Our MP’s Decision! 🚨
I was deeply disappointed to see our local MP, Connor Naismith, vote in favour of cutting the Winter Fuel Payment for pensioners. This is not just a policy on paper – this is about real people facing real worry right here in our community. 😔
Such decisions should never be about towing the party line. They should be about representing the very people who elected you, and that begins with safeguarding the most vulnerable among us. How anyone with a clear conscience could support this cut, especially with rising utility costs, is beyond me. ❌🔥
We must remember that politics is about people, not parties. It is about making choices that protect those who need it most. I, for one, will always put our community first. 💪🏡
To all our pensioners: Please make sure to check if you’re entitled to Pension Credit – it could make a real difference. 📞 Call Age UK for assistance on 0800 731 0160. Don't miss out on support you might be eligible for!

🌟 Hello Everyone 🌟
I'm David Simcox, your local Conservative candidate for the upcoming by-election on 5th September. 🗳️
While speaking to many of you on the doorstep, I've heard concerns about the changes to the Winter Fuel Allowance under the current Labour government. I know how important it is to ensure our local pensioners get the support they deserve. That's why I have sent a leaflet to all homes in Crewe West sharing information about Winter Fuel Payments, including a telephone number for Age UK 📞 0800 731 0160 and the website www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/money-legal/benefits-entitlements/winter-fuel-payment/ — because not everyone uses the internet, and everyone should know how to claim what they’re entitled to! 🧣❄️
If you or a loved one might qualify for the Winter Fuel Allowance, please reach out. This support could make a real difference! 🤝
I promise to stand up for those who need it most if elected. Let’s make sure no one in our community is left out in the cold this winter. 🏠❤️

🚨 Crewe West: Safety Matters! 🚨
I've been pushing to fix the overgrown grass on Empress Drive. 🌱 Despite being marked "resolved" THREE times on FixMyStreet, it took a formal complaint to get any real action. And still, the job isn’t done properly—grass and weeds are still a hazard! 😤 I’ve raised the issue again to ensure it gets the attention it deserves.
Having someone who lives miles away or just keeps things as they are won’t solve our problems. We need a local representative—right on your doorstep—who genuinely cares and checks these issues firsthand. That’s me! I’m committed to fighting for real, lasting solutions, not just empty promises. 💪

Together, we can create a safer, better, and more vibrant Crewe West! 💙

🚨 Labour's Winter Fuel Cuts. A Major Concern on the Doorstep 🚨 As I've been speaking to people on the doorstep, one issue has come up time and again: the recent changes to the Winter Fuel Payment policy under the Labour government. These changes will impact 1,373 (86%) state pensioners in Crewe West Ward. Many of our pensioners, some of the most vulnerable in our community, will no longer be eligible for the Winter Fuel Allowance unless they are receiving Pension Credit or another qualifying means-tested benefit. Having volunteered in the Citizens Advice Bureau, I’ve seen first-hand how many people are not claiming the benefits they are entitled to. Shockingly, it’s estimated that 1 in 3 pensioners who are eligible for Pension Credit do not claim it, meaning they could miss out on vital support this winter. This situation worries me greatly, as it may leave many pensioners in Crewe West having to make difficult decisions about whether to heat their homes or meet other essential needs. This isn’t fair, and it’s not right. ❌🏠 I want to urge all pensioners, not just in Crewe West, but across the country, to check if they are entitled to Pension Credit. If you or a loved one could be eligible, please reach out to Age UK or your local Citizens Advice Bureau for support. If you qualify for Pension Credit, you will also be eligible for the Winter Fuel Allowance. 🧓💷 Even if you don’t qualify for Pension Credit, there may be other schemes available to help you this winter, such as the Warm Home Discount or Cold Weather Payments. It’s crucial to explore all options and get the support you deserve. 🔍💡 For more information, please visit Age UK’s website www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/money-legal/benefits-entitlements/winter-fuel-payment/ or call them on 0800 731 0160.

🌞 Lovely to Meet Residents Today! 🌞
Today, I had the pleasure of meeting with residents around the Sunnybank Road area. It was great to hear directly from you, and I appreciate your honesty in expressing frustrations with issues that have been reported but not addressed. 😞
One major concern raised was the overgrowth at the corner of Sunnybank Road and West Street. 🌳 This has been reported multiple times on FixMyStreet since 2020, yet nothing has been done. It’s shocking and unacceptable that this dangerous situation has been allowed to persist for so long.
🚗 The overgrowth is forcing pedestrians to walk in the road, creating a hazardous situation, especially with vehicles turning from the busy West Street. If elected, I will follow up on this and ensure that this issue is resolved swiftly and effectively. Your safety is my priority, and I won’t stop until we see action! 💪
Thank you for raising these important issues—I’m here to help! Let’s work together to make our community safer. 🛤️

🌟 What an exciting day at Crewe Queens Park! 🌳✨ "Operation Summer" was a huge success with family-friendly activities like outdoor theatre 🎭, nature walks 🌿, storytelling 📖, and face painting 🎨. It was a perfect day out for everyone, and best of all, it was free! Seeing everyone enjoy a day full of fun and laughter was wonderful. 🎉👨👩👧👦
I had a fantastic time with the friendly pirates and enjoyed some delicious ice cream at the park cafe. It was also great catching up with my friend, Councillor Roger Morris from Crewe Central. Together, we're looking forward to making the changes our community needs.
Thank you to everyone who came out and made today a wonderful family fun day!

Sign Age UK's petition. Cutting the Winter Fuel Payment this winter, with virtually no notice and no compensatory measures to protect poor and vulnerable pensioners, is the wrong policy decision.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

HELP TO KEEP OUR NEW PARK CLEAN
I've been out this morning and litter picked and swept around the playground areas at Leighton Brook Park. Thank you to those who also helped pick up litter at the park on Saturday! 👍
Please help keep our new park clean by using the new litter bins and encouraging others young and old to do so too! If you see litter or someone littering, you know what to do! 🚮
I've put up some posters for the Community Litter Pick this coming Sunday also:
✨🗑️ COMMUNITY LITTER PICK 🌳✨

🚧 ROAD CLOSURE - WINDSOR AVENUE TUESDAY 6TH AUGUST
Please note that a section of Windsor Avenue between Underwood Lane and Sandiway Road is scheduled to be closed to traffic on Tuesday 6th August between 9.30am and 3.30pm for highways repairs. This work is anticipated to last 3 working days (or up to a period of 5 days as isnecessary to enable the works to be completed.)
Access for residents will be maintained where possible.
This is the first part of a series of more permanent repairs I have been working on to tackle the worst areas of our roads in St Barnabas using a limited amount of ward funding available to me.
Those who use this road will know why it needs these improvements!

We had a great day today litter picking at the Coppenhall Place estate just off West Street.
Thanks to Claire & David for organising the litter pick, it was a great success with a good take up from the residents.
Great to see you all today and also to discuss the on going issues that you have.
Many thanks for all your continued support.
