Have your say

Cheshire West and Chester Council, Cheshire East Council and the NHS work in partnership to provide the Community Equipment Service. The Partnership is currently reviewing this service. The service loans different types of equipment prescribed by Health and Social Care professionals. You may have been supported by this service if you have ever had an Occupational Therapy assessment either at home or to help you be discharged from hospital.

The Law Commission is reviewing the legal framework governing social care for disabled children in England to make sure the law is fair, modern and accessible, allowing children with disabilities to access the support they need.

The Council is currently running a consultation on the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) for Chester City. In October 2014, the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 introduced powers to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB), including the power to make PSPOs, which can be used to regulate activities in public spaces that can have a detrimental effect on the local community. They can help by giving local councils and local police additional powers to tackle ASB in specified locations to reduce the risk of members of the public being exposed to ASB.

The Council is asking people in the borough to share their views on the actions the Council has set out to tackle the Climate Emergency.

Residents across Cheshire and Merseyside are being urged to make their voices heard and help shape the future of local GP and health services by taking part in a new survey launched by Healthwatch. Plans to improve patient access to primary care services were launched in spring 2024. We want to see what change, if any, people have noticed since then in their experience of GP services. The survey, open to all residents, will allow individuals to share their personal experiences of using or attempting to use, GP services in the past 12 months. The information gathered will be used to identify gaps in services, highlight areas of improvement, and provide recommendations directly to service commissioners, ensuring that the voice of the community is reflected in service planning and delivery.

Partners across Cheshire West and Chester are using this questionnaire to find out about the physical activity levels, attitudes and behaviours of residents, as well as the opportunities that exist to support residents to become more physically active. The survey should take around 10 minutes to complete and you can quit at any time. As a thank you for completing the survey, you will be entered into a prize draw to win a three month Brio Leisure passes - there are four passes up for grabs! To enter, you will need to enter your email address at the end of the survey - if you don't wish to enter the prize draw you do not need to provide this information.
