Let's clear that one up for you.... #Devolution20 May 2025 10:57 +0000at://did:plc:nwnwt2j3pycdkvhnrg73lufd/app.bsky.feed.post/3lplwjmtah22yhttps://bsky.app/profile/cheshire-east.bsky.social/post/3lp4yatbsks2rWe've seen a claim that Cheshire East has borrowed £5.5m to fund devolution. This is completely untrue. This has nothing to do with devolution. #Devolution #MythBusting14 May 2025 12:18 +0000at://did:plc:nwnwt2j3pycdkvhnrg73lufd/app.bsky.feed.post/3lp4yatbsks2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/cheshire-east.bsky.social/post/3loqnzu23ls2xDevolution - heard this one before?? Let's clear that up: Devolution means more local control - not less. Every council keeps running its own services. Joint decisions only happen where it makes sense - like transport and investment. #Devolution09 May 2025 14:44 +0000at://did:plc:nwnwt2j3pycdkvhnrg73lufd/app.bsky.feed.post/3loqnzu23ls2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/cheshire-east.bsky.social/post/3loofayw2wk2bToday, the government has issued Cheshire East Council with a Best Value Notice.

Let's put that straight. ✅Local identity isn't going anywhere. Devolution strengthens our voice at a regional level, so we can protect what matters to our communities. #Devolution07 May 2025 14:10 +0000at://did:plc:nwnwt2j3pycdkvhnrg73lufd/app.bsky.feed.post/3loll7dgjkk2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/cheshire-east.bsky.social/post/3log2jr5c4c2wHeard this one before? 🤔 Let's clear that one up... ✅The whole point of devolution is unlocking long-term funding. That’s how we plan properly—and avoid lurching from one short-term fix to another. #Devolution05 May 2025 09:28 +0000at://did:plc:nwnwt2j3pycdkvhnrg73lufd/app.bsky.feed.post/3log2jr5c4c2w
