Minutes:
The Council had been approached formally in May 2011 by Willaston Parish Council requesting that consideration be given to re-naming the land in question in memory of Mike Heywood, a former Chairman of Willaston Parish Council and local community leader. The reasons for the request were set out in the Parish Council’s letter of 11th May 2011 as attached to the report.
The piece of land in question, being at a crossroad, was already a focal point for community involvement, including community ‘planters’ and celebratory signage. The plot of land was approximately 25m by 20m in size.
The recommendation was supported by the Cabinet Member for Environmental Services and the initial approach to the Council had been made via the Ward Member, Councillor Brian Silvester.
RESOLVED – That the Cabinet Member for Prosperity agrees that:
(1) the piece of land currently titled “land on the south side of Moorfields, Willaston, Nantwich” be renamed as ‘Mike Heywood Green’; and
(2) the Land Registry be informed of the name change.
