Poynton Town Council met on Monday 6th October and it was agreed that we would formally object to the proposals and seek to work with other local town and Parish Councils. In addition, we have asked Mr Tim Roca, MP and a representative from Cheshire East Council if they would be willing to attend a public meeting at Poynton Civic Hall to listen to the concerns of residents from all affected towns and parishes.

Poynton Town Council was concerned to learn of the Government’s proposals for “new towns” and the large-scale development of 14,000 – 20,000 new houses at Adlington. Whilst not in the boundary of Poynton, this development in a small neighbouring parish is likely to have a significant impact on Poynton.
We welcome the recent statement by Tim Roca MP making clear his opposition to what he describes correctly as "a scheme that would inflict significant, large-scale, and irreversible harm on our cherished Green Belt." The Town Council agrees with his call for “prioritising brownfield land and regeneration sites for new housing."
Poynton Town Council will be working with our neighbouring Parish and Town Councils as well as Cheshire East ward councillors and our MP to ensure that the views of our residents are heard.
We will keep residents informed of any developments on this web page.
