Week 11-20 off duty 

Week 21

Active parking patrol has been conducted around KEEPERS/FORSTERS and NORTHWICH ROAD. Parking on zig zags lines is a serious issue because it can pose a safety risk, especially near pedestrians crossing. Advisory notices issued to vehicles parked on zig zags to educate drivers before stricter enforcement is applied. No-one can park on zags zags even with a blue badge on display. Further patrols will be made in April with the CWAC enforcement officers.

Parking patrol has been carried out around WEAVERHAM HIGH SCHOOL. Overall, parking was good, but a few motorists received words if advise for parking on junctions/yellow lines. To improve safety and enforcement, I've contacted CWAC enforcement team to arrange joint patrols throughout April. Thank you for parking responsibly!

Following community concerns, parking patrols have been carried out on Forsters Avenue. Several advisory notices issued, along with guidance to drivers. Reminder: Do not park within 10 metres of a junction. This helps keep visibility clear and ensures safety for all road users. Thank you for parking responsibly!

Parking enforcement has also been carried out around Cuddington Primary School, with advisory notices issued to drivers parked within 10 metres of a junction and on yellow lines. Further patrols will take place alongside CWAC enforcement officers to ensure safety for all road users and pedestrians.

Parking concerns along Station Road, Acton Bridge have been monitored.  On this occasion, no vehicles were found obstructing the footpath. Future patrols will take place alongside CWAC enforcement officers to ensure continued compliance.

Over the past several months, we have received reports of youths congregating in various areas, patrols conducted across WEAVER and CUDDINGTON ward to reassure the community.

Water Safety Advice – Please Take a Moment to Read

Your safety around water is extremely important. Whether you’re at the beach, pool, lake, or river, please keep the following tips in mind:

Always supervise children around water – even shallow areas.

Never swim alone – use the buddy system.

Avoid alcohol when swimming or operating boats.

Wear a life jacket when boating or in open water if you’re not a strong swimmer.

Check the weather and water conditions before entering.

Know your limits – don’t push yourself too hard.

Learn CPR and basic rescue techniques – it could save a life.

Watch for currents and tides – they can change quickly and be dangerous.
