Consideration was given to the outstanding
responses received in respect of organisations surveyed in Phase 1
of the review, and to those received for organisations surveyed in Phase 2.
Phase 1 of the review
With regard to the responses received since
the last meeting it was agreed that, in accordance with the
principle agreed at that meeting, that the Bollin Valley Steering
Committee be removed from the list. In
the light of organisational changes since Local Government
Reorganisation it was considered that this was now a Cheshire East
function and would be better served by the formation of a Friends
Group, for example. The need for a
steering committee of some kind was not doubted but it was felt
that the best way of carrying out that role could be considered
further at such time as some of the current funding/membership
issues had been resolved.
In the case of the BAE Systems Woodford Local
Consultative Committee, and of the Crewe and Nantwich Gymnastics
and Community Activity Association, as no further information had
been received it was agreed that they be removed from the list of
organisations.
Phase 2 of the review
The Sub-Committee considered the replies
received from Members and organisations surveyed in Phase 2 and
agreed the actions set out below: -
- Cheshire Community Council Playing
Fields Association – the Sub-Committee was informed that this
did not exist; it was agreed that it be removed.
- Cheshire Landscape Trust –
Council representation was not a requirement nor was it considered
by the organisation to be needed; therefore it was agreed that it
be removed.
- Community Transport (Macclesfield
District) – remove from the list as it no longer operated in
the way it had when established as ‘Dial a Ride’.
- Congleton Leisure Centre Advisory
User Panel – remove as it was a Cheshire East function.
- Crewe and Nantwich Sports Council
Executive Committee – it was reported that this had been
disbanded; it was agreed that it be removed.
- Fairtrade Steering Group –
remove from the list, as it was not a genuine outside organisation,
and refer to the appropriate Cabinet Portfolio Holder.
- Colshaw Farm Estate Neighbourhood
Management Board – transfer to Wilmslow Town Council as it
was more appropriate to their remit.

- Cheshire East CAB (Congleton, Crewe
& Nantwich)
- Cheshire Local History
Association
- Crewe and Nantwich Twinning
Association
- Fence Trust Macclesfield
