Cheshire East Council is inviting residents and businesses to help shape the future, together, as part of its work to develop a new strategic plan for the borough.

The council is developing a new plan for a number of reasons including:

• The significant number of new elected members following the elections in May and a need to reflect post-election priorities.
• The changing context of which the council is now operating in, with regards to the financial challenge caused by factors such as rising inflation.
• A greater need to focus council resources to meet increased service demands and costs.
• Improvement in digital technology and artificial intelligence which the council need to safely and securely take advantage of to drive efficient service delivery.

The council is inviting its partners, residents, businesses, and customers to shape the priorities and ambitions of Cheshire East for the short, medium and long term, together through an online survey.

The survey can be found at https://surveys.cheshireeast.gov.uk/s/ShapingOurFuture23/ and is open until midnight on 15 December 2023.
