Macclesfield Town Council was created in April 2015 as a result of Reorganisation of Community Governance (Macclesfield) Order 2015, in which a number of assets, including Weston Community Centre were identified for transfer. This process for the transfer is a separate process by virtue of The Local Government (Parishes and Parish Councils) (England) Regulations 2008 and also falls in line with the Council’s general approach to asset transfer and the Cabinet paper dated 12 July 2016 which sets out the framework for disposal of assets by the Council.
Cheshire East Council is committed to delivering services tailored to its individual communities. Weston Community Centre is a community building which caters for the different aspects of the community within Macclesfield. Macclesfield Town Council will ensure that this asset is sustainable and will work with the local community to provide the right services, in the right places, at the right times and it will take on full accountability for all aspect of the transfer including all running costs and existing bookings.
