Cheshire East Council has been branded ‘dystopian’ after fencing off a popular public green space that was also used by homeless people. The grassed area of land behind Macclesfield Town Hall had metal barriers put round it in autumn last year and they remain to this day. It contains benches which were often used by town centre workers to eat lunch, enjoy a hot drink or take in the views over Macc towards the Peak District.

A pensioner who was given a £70 parking charge while attending a hospital appointment has won a court battle to get it overturned. Ray Field, 86, from Macclesfield, represented himself at Stockport County Court against Parkingeye, who issued the charge, and came out on top. Speaking after the hearing, he encouraged more people to stand up for themselves. Ray says he was given the charge when he visited Macclesfield Hospital in February last year.

Hi Aran, I'm a reporter at the Macclesfield Express. Just after an LDR article you filed on 25/9 about a housing scheme in Poynton being deferred. Would you mind sending it to me please - [email protected]. It disappeared from our Content Watch system for some reason!
