THERE is no agreement between Cheshire East Council and Middlewich Town Council, as claimed by Michael Jones; it is an ill-conceived Conservative election gimmick that the CEC councillors for Middlewich seem to be playing along with.
The by-pass has always been Cheshire East's responsibility and it is their fault it has not been completed in the 30 years since it was agreed.
The threat of re-routing it will only delay completion further, as they go into additional consultations and the planning process.
Cheshire East councillors should focus on delivering the by-pass as planned, not playing silly games in the press.
This response to our petition shows the people of Middlewich should be given a voice and there should be no more major development in the town, which generates extra traffic, until the by-pass is complete.
We are at virtual gridlock and Middlewich cannot cope and the sustainability of new developments must be questioned.
