The CEC Deputy Leader, David Brown, has agreed to give up responsibility for the £3.7m Local Plan and will be replaced by a “taskforce” – headed by Councillors Peter Raynes and Jamie Macrae – to redraft Cheshire East’s Local Plan in 6 months.
Clr Raynes said: “As a long term resident of Cheshire East, I have a passion to maintain the precious landscape of our beautiful borough. But at the same time, this council recognises the need to produce a local plan that meets the needs of the future. I cannot think of a more important task to be involved in.” Knutsford Guardian 19th Nov 2014
