Northern leaders come together for ‘Connecting through Crewe’ event
Connecting through Crewe event
Northern leaders came together to discuss how Crewe’s 360-degree connectivity and strategic position puts it at the heart of delivering on the region’s transport ambitions and why the opportunities for the town and its ongoing regeneration remain despite the cancellation of HS2 in the north.
Cheshire East Council’s leader and deputy leader, councillors Sam Corcoran and Michael Gorman, Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram – the ‘Metro Mayors’ of Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City Region – and businesses leaders gathered at Crewe’s Market Hall on Monday 4 March under the banner of ‘Connecting Through Crewe’.
The event focused on the importance of the town in delivering regional transport and levelling up ambitions, and how partners can work together to maximise opportunities that may come forward in place of HS2. It follows the Government’s decision last year to cancel the HS2 scheme north of Birmingham.

Could supported internships benefit your business?
Supported internships
We are inviting local businesses to come along to a free supported internships event on Wednesday 27 March, to find out more about how their business could benefit from matching an intern, with a disability, into their organisation.
The event will take place at The Space, Congleton [
] from 8.45-10.45am, with breakfast included and the opportunity to network and hear from past interns and employers.
The scheme, which has been running since 2022 through the ‘internship works’ DfE programme [
], has targets to double the number of supported interns nationally by 2025.

Our current crossing strategy was approved for adoption in December 2011, and sets out how locations for new pedestrian crossings in Cheshire East are identified. We are now consulting on an updated draft of our crossing strategy, which proposes a consistent approach to managing new and existing pedestrian crossings on the highway network.
