Background as to why Toucan crossing in Congleton was downgraded to Puffin
Dear Cheshire East Council,
In January 2024, Seddon Construction applied to Cheshire East Council to vary the condition attached to their Manchester Road, Congleton development requiring a Toucan crossing. The variation of condition application ref: 24/0147C was decided within 2 weeks without consultation. As a result, the crossing, if built, will now be downgraded to a puffin crossing.
We request access to emails, telephone memos, reports, meeting notes and any other decision making records that went on internally and between Seddon/Laurus and the Cheshire East Council members / officers (particularly those in the Highways department and the Planning Department) on this matter before and after the application to downgrade the Toucan crossing was made.
Yours faithfully,
Paul Emms
