Greenest church in Cheshire?
You might have seen the scaffolding,skips and hard hats around Audlem Methodist Church recently. It’s all in aid of a major renovation, which Property Steward Nancy-May Goodwin hopes will make it, “the greenest church in Cheshire, if not the North-West!” You can see for yourself by popping in to see the work in progress as part of Audlem’s Climate and Nature Event on Saturday, 18 September between 10 am and 4 pm.
“We’re doing it because the building needs it,” says Nancy-May, “but we’re also doing it because, faced by a climate and nature emergency, it’s the right thing to do.”
To read more about how the church's renovations will help climate and nature click here. To donate to enable evenmore energy saving installations at Audlem Methodist Church, visit the church's website and click on the 'Donate with DONA' button at the top of the page.

Hankelow Neighbourhood Plan Referendum
A Referendum will take place on Thursday, May 6th
in the Hankelow Community Hall, to decide the following question, yes
or no:-
“Do you want Cheshire East Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for
Hankelow to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood
area?”
What is the referendum?
It is a legally binding vote of residents of
Hankelow to choose if they want to adopt the Neighbourhood Plan.
Residents should already have received a voting card or postal vote if
they are registered to vote.
What does a Neighbourhood Plan do?
If adopted by the parish’s residents the
Neighbourhood Plan would become a legal planning document. It would
form part of the local development plan for Cheshire East, and have
significant weight in making decisions on planning applications.
What happens if the Neighbourhood Plan
isn’t agreed through the outcome of the referendum?
Decisions on planning within the Hankelow parish
area will be made by Cheshire East Planning Dept using the Cheshire
East Local Plan and the other National planning documents, which do
not include specific requirements of individual parishes such as
Hankelow.
Do I have to vote?
Whether you vote or not is entirely your
decision.
Where can I see the plan?
The Neighbourhood plan together with other
relevant documents can be viewed online at:-
A web search for “Hankelow Neighbourhood Plan” is
the quickest way to find the page.
If you are unable to view the plan online, there
are some hard copies available. Contact Gin Foster on 01270 811558.
Please vote on Thursday
May 6th

Volunteer Driver Insurance
Debbie Lindop of Cheshire East sent this information:-
We’ve had a couple of queries about volunteer drivers and if still covered under their car insurance, so I thought it would be useful to share this information wider.
It would appear that the previous Association of British Insurers (ABI) scheme of pledges to provide cover for drivers who are volunteering will continue until at least 19/3/21, however, there are different rules for each insurance company about if the insurance company needs to be advised or not. See the full list here.
