Ansa asked us to share the following information about the FlexiLink flexible transport service Ansa Transport operates on behalf of Cheshire East Council.
FlexiLink is a demand responsive, pre-bookable transport service providing an alternative means of travel for eligible Cheshire East residents:
[That covers all of us here in Marton].
The fare is £3 per journey or free with a concessionary bus pass. Full details are on the website at Cheshire East Flexible Transport Service.
At Highways and Transport Committee in July, the committee approved a recommendation to launch a public consultation seeking views of users, residents and stakeholders on the future development of Flexilink. This consultation is open until 30 September 2023.
If you’d like to share your views about Flexilink, please go to the consultations page here and look for the Flexilink consultation: https://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/council_and_democracy/council_information/consultations/consultations.aspx
Cheshire East have informed us that they will be reviewing the car park arrangemenents. The statutory public consultation for the parking review will run from Wednesday 20th September 2023 to Wednesday 1st November 2023.
The proposals will be on display at each car park as well as in local newspapers, and on the council’s website. The proposals will also be available to view in local libraries and further information will be provided as part of press releases issued to the local media and promoted by the council.
During the six-week statutory public consultation period, every ward councillor, town and parish council will be invited to make representations, alongside other stakeholders and the wider public.
If you would like to add your voice to the consultation, please follow this link and look for the Parking Review Consultation: https://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/council_and_democracy/council_information/consultations/consultations.aspx
You have until 1 November 2023 to write or email Cheshire East with your views.
During 2023, Marton Village is exploring the merit of installing a solar powered speed sign on A34 looking south to Congleton. Details may be found in this PDF document.
The Congleton Half Marathon will come through Marton again this year, on Sunday 1st October.
The race starts at 9.30am and we can expect that the first runners will be passing through by 9.45am with the slower paced runners being through by approximately 10.45am. Do come out and support the runners as they go through our village.
More details are available on their website, and the route map is below.
Next Friday (8 May) is VE Day – a celebration that would have been marked across the country if we weren’t in lockdown.
We would like to invite you to help Marton to celebrate by having afternoon tea in your garden or on the Oak Lane bank, decorations optional, social distancing essential, at 3pm on Friday.
Julie Cowell will make a British quiz sheet. Does anyone have any 1940’s music they can set up? Please contact Julie via WhatsApp.
Village ramble round the Marton footpaths on 27 December.
Meet at Marton Meadows Golf Club at 11am … And return for gluhwein!
Everyone welcome – Merry Christmas!
