Consideration was given to acting as the grant recipient and accountable body for the grant of £4m from the Governments Regional Growth Fund for the development of the Middlewich Eastern Bypass by Pochin Developments.
A report set out the context of the proposal and the benefits of supporting the delivery of the scheme; these included the creation of new business premises and approx 2,800 jobs, environmental improvements arising from traffic being diverted away from Middlewich, and the reduction of congestion on the A54 link to the M6.
