Cheshire East Council is a unitary authority, serving over 420,000 residents and 20,000 businesses. The council delivers a wide range of services including education, social care, planning, transport, and environmental health.
The Cheshire East Plan 2025–29 sets out a bold vision: “Enabling prosperity and wellbeing for all in Cheshire East.” It outlines three strategic commitments:
Unlocking prosperity for all – through inclusive economic growth, improved transport, lifelong learning, and a carbon-neutral future.
Improving health and wellbeing – by reducing health inequalities, supporting independence, and fostering safe, thriving communities.
Being an effective and enabling council – focused on financial sustainability, digital transformation, and collaborative governance.
Aligned with the council’s transformation and improvement programme and financial strategy, the plan provides clear direction for residents, partners, and staff, ensuring Cheshire East continues to be a vibrant, inclusive, and forward-thinking place to live and work.
Warrington is a genuine ‘northern powerhouse’ – strategically significant, home to a number of multi-nationals and one of only two cities outside the south of England to feature in the top 10 of the influential Centre for Cities Outlook report in 2017.
Growing a strong economy for all is a council priority. But so too is ensuring that there are opportunities for the most vulnerable in our society. Other priorities include building strong, active and resilient communities, and creating a place to be proud of.
Delivering on the above rests with our employees – all 2,700 of them. That’s why, as well as becoming a modern and efficient organisation that understands residents’ priorities and manages its resources accordingly, we have achieved the Workplace Wellbeing Charter for our holistic approach to the health and wellbeing of our workforce.
We are also a proud member of the Employment Stammering Network (ESN) - a group of employers who are committed to creating a culture where people who stammer can achieve their full potential.
