AS the election draws closer, I would like to thank Fiona Bruce, Conservative candidate for Congleton for all her stalwart work in her constituency.

Fiona has worked closely with Cheshire East Council on many issues, most notably Neighbourhood Plans, the regeneration of Congleton and Middlewich and the development of Midpoint 18 in Middlewich.

She has always been willing to lobby central government to get the best deal for her residents and those in the wider area of Cheshire East.

On behalf of Cheshire East Council, I hope we will continue to be working with her in the future.

Councillor Michael Jones Leader of Cheshire East Council
