Councillor Sam Corcoran, leader of Cheshire East Council, and Councillor Craig Browne, deputy leader, asked residents to send in their questions about the council.

The conversation covers:

Investment across the borough
Gritting routes
Potholes and road maintenance
Climate change, biodiversity and managing the environment
Car parking
House building and infrastructure
Planning applications
Middlewich Eastern Bypass
Cost of councillors
Role of councillors

Thank you to everyone who submitted questions. While we could not answer them all, unanswered questions may be taken forward to future ‘Conversation with the Leader and Deputy Leader’ videos.
