I TRAVELED TO LEIGHTON HOSPITAL TWICE THIS WEEK..........TOTAL CHAOS.......... THE DIVERSION SIGNS WERE NOT IN PLACE........THE BACK STREETS OF CREWE WERE JAMMED.......... GIVEN THE TASK INVOLVED, CLOSING OFF ROADS , PERHAPS THE MANAGEMENT OF LEIGHTON , BENTLEY MOTORS AND CHESHIRE EAST SHOULD HAVE MEANINGFUL DISCUSSIONS .

NHS. PATIENTS GO TO HOSPITALS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A NEED, AND THE CURRENT ARRANGEMENTS ARE TOTALLY MISLEADING.
THE DIVERSION SIGNS SHOULD SHOW THE BLUE 'H ' SIGN TO AVOID CONFUSION AND GIVEN THE PROFITS ' BENTLEY MOTORS ' MAKE PERHAPS THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THE INSTALLATION AS A MARK OF GOODWILL. OR AM I BEING SILLY !

It was most thought provoking to read Hannah Platt's comments on the chat forum, especially as regards the NHS. It's certainly evident that more needs to be devoted to mental health care, and beyond the NHS on education.

Rail travel .Bus fares . Insurance . Food. Petrol . Rates .Rents . Cost of living . All massive price increases. No invite invite to a Boris party . what a state the country is in .No worries tho . My grey bin was emptied yesterday . Made my day. the y

I'm rather surprised that residents expect to have some sort of service for their Council Tax payments. Don't they realise that it's a donation?

Seems the editor may have not included my final point which is;
Regarding climate hysteria, as a resident of the UK which is already green taxing us all to kingdom come, my bigger worry would be that the NHS has the worst health outcomes in the western world, id be more concerned about this and the fact that with more houses being built we are less and less likely to have access to GP's medical care and treatment. Because this will actually effect all of us.

I received the following message from CE Waste Collection Service at 1637 hrs today, regarding missed collections on Monday:

'just to keep you updated on progress so you can advise any residents with queries, unfortunately we were unable to get back to the area today, we have it planned for tomorrow. One of the Team Leaders is scheduled to drive the vehicle with one of the normal crew members who has good knowledge of the area assisting him, hopefully we can get all the collections completed. I have passed on the areas you have highlighted.

Thank you for your help in keeping residents informed'

Our silver bins were not collected 2 weeks ago in Coxbank, I reported it via the missed bins link and received a reply saying they would be collected within 5 days. The following Monday the siver bins were emptied in the same truck as the general waste which was due to be collected that day!

I had the following reply in reponse to an email I sent to the email address CheshireEastCouncilCustomerServices@cheshireeast.gov.uk :

***Due to operational issues the recycling crew did not complete their rounds yesterday. The Waste department are aware of this and will empty the bins as soon as they can.
Our teams are working extremely hard to maintain our waste collection services. Covid-related staff sickness and the ongoing impact of the national shortage of HGV drivers is affecting our ability to complete some collection rounds, and to return to collect bins that have been missed or that have not been collected as scheduled due to access issues.
Until the situation eases this disruption may continue. We apologise for any inconvenience caused to residents.***

If there are ongoing service issues it would be preferable if the Council informed residents in advance to manage our expectations.

In response to the post about grey bins not being emptied,We live in Buerton Festival avenue.And our bin has not been emptied,They came and did the garden bin and left the grey,Our neighborhood people have Thier grey bins still out,Does anyone have any information as to why..

Surprise surprise!
I just got a phone call from Chris at ANSA-waste & recycling. He said that they are currently short staffed so Monday they ended up no sending the grey bin crew out. He did say it will be collected on Saturday....
Fingers crossed ;-))

Response I received this morning.... we will have to wait and see!

Dear Dr Oliveira,

Thank you for contacting Cheshire East Council yesterday; I am sorry to hear you experienced another missed collection on Monday (23/5).

Your Lane's recycling collection was missed this week due to an operational issue which prevented crew #2's wagon from being sent out on its allocated route. The Waste department are aware of this and will duly return ASAP within the first 5 working days. Please leave the grey receptacles outside and accessible in the interim.

Please also let Customer Services know by return if your recycling bin still has not been emptied by 6pm next Monday (30/5).

I hope you find this e-mail helpful. Please don't hesitate to contact us should you require further assistance.

Yours sincerely,

Neil Chisholm

Please do not reply to this email.

Bin is still out, lets see whats happened if anything by Friday. I`m not holding my breath.

With energy prices set to go up yet again to levels many can't sustain while attendees of DAVOS this week are flying in on private jets may I suggest we welcome the earths cycle warming things up a bit. Heating oil is hellishly expensive – this by the way is all by design.

The green tax on energy is pushing people into energy poverty meanwhile water levels in Sydney haven't changed in 150 years despite in the 80's climate nutters saying it would be underwater by 2010 – and in the 1970's "scientists" said we would have an ice age in 2020 and let's not forget the scientists bonkers modeling scenarios on Covid that sent the world into a frenzy and huge debt. I'll use a bit of common sense I think.

Even Joe Biden refers to hurricanes now as a result of climate change – Kansas has had hurricanes since before records began ffs. Shrewsbury flooded higher in the 1500's than it has in the past 100 years.

If you believe the hype and hysteria on climate change then I can only assume you believe the Covid Fear Porn, that Biden was voted in, that there were weapons of mass destruction and that the WEF and the WHO care about the people.

Anyone truly worried about their impact on the planet should never ever step foot in a supermarket, Should read what plant based foods consume in production, the chemicals and crops involved and then ask yourself what is better...eating chemicals and unsustainable crops or eating local and seasonal food – forget supermarkets, go to your butcher – the world has gone crackers.

Wouldn't it be weird if all this was to charge us more, have more control, discourage self reliance push us to submission and make a shed load of money??? I mean it doesn't keep me awake at night but it does make me wonder!

We are sadly at a stage where people can't afford to heat, eat and run cars.

We need to focus on home grown produce, support and shop local, reduce waste and generally make good decisions but sadly the masses are being forced into submission by lunatic leaders with their own agendas – follow the money and keep in mind that farmers and truckers run on diesel – when they can't afford to run, we don't eat!

Let's live our lives, question things, read more and not be led by the nose shall we. Maybe we should be more concerned that the NHS has the worst outcomes in the developed world yet we have to worship it like it's our new religion. Clap...clap....clap

It looks like the whole of Woore Road, Windmill Lane and all the streets off Windmill Lane are still awaiting the silver bin collection. I have reported on line and received the usual spiel of 'next 5 days'.

I have spoken to Cheshire East today and they have informed me that the lorry broke down yesterday,and wasnt able to finish the collections, he asked that everyone leave their bins out and they should be collected in the next few days, he was extremely helpful

I had an acknowledgement of my report of missed collection.

I rang Cheshire East today and spoke to a helpful lady who informed me that the bin folk had vehicle problems on Monday. She told me to leave the bins out and they hoped to have the bins emptied within 5 working days ! 😎�'�

After hearing the usual excuses of, leave it out and it will be collected within 5 days, and the wagon has broken down again, when pushed, the very pleasant lady at the council reluctantly admitted that the reason the bins are not getting emptied as they should be was down to a shortage of drivers, so why do they constantly try to fob us off with utter rubbish (no pun intended).

Hi
Bins not emptied at Witton Close, CW3 0HZ.
Thanks

Silver bins weren't emptied on Woore Rd either.

Dear Editor, My belief in Cheshire East Council is at an all time low. Not only was our brown bin not collected as reported here recently, coupled with the fact that our silver bin has also not been collected, we also have issue with the road gully at the end of our drive. This remains over flowing with what can only be described as a rancid smelling stagnant water. This has been reported to Cheshire East not only when it was first blocked back in November 2021, but an additional 6 times! The last time being on Friday, when I was initially greeted by a young lady who did not initially realise that I was on the line and stated "I don't want a child with a Burnley accent". Clearly when she did realise that there was someone on the line the phone went dead. It appears to me that incompetence seems to be a common trait at Cheshire East Towers! Please do pass my comments to Rachel Bailey. We also live on Kettle Lane.

Silver bins not emptied yesterday on Monks Lane & Heathfield Road too.

Must be time for a clear out. A few people have tried numbers within the directories and got no response, perhaps AOL should do an audit and see if these businesses are still valid / trading

I submitted another online form but I'm quite sure that it will not make the slightest difference as previous submissions have not achieved anything. It's strange that the feedback page, shown immediately after submitting the report, doesn't work. Can't think why that should be!
Following the missed collections on 9th May, my excess garden waste was not taken as the driver informed me "we've been told not to collect any extra waste as the wagon weights are going through the roof".

Silver bins not collected on Kettle Lane. The email address for CE Customer Services is CheshireEastCouncilCustomerServices@cheshireeast.gov.uk which seems to work, not CheshireEastCustomerServices@cheshireeast.gov.uk which doesn't work.
Have reported using the email address and received an automatic reply saying they should respond within 5 working days.
I have also reported using the Missed Bin Collection report on CE Website but this has proven to be no more use than ornament based on past experience.
