THE trial of active travel lanes in Chester has been paused, the council has confirmed. Cheshire West and Chester Council says the decision has been taken after listening to the recommendations from the independent Sustainable Transport Task Force that has been analysing their use. The trial Emergency Active Travel lanes have been in operation for the past five months, but will now be paused from Monday. The council introduced two new trial Emergency Active Travel lanes in Chester as part of the Government’s ambitions to promote cycling, walking and public transport as healthy alternatives to using cars. The lanes were established in October 2020 for an initial six-month period during which time the authority would listen to the opinions of road users as well as local business and residential communities.

COUNCIL housing tenants in Ellesmere Port and Neston who are struggling to deal with the financial shock caused by the Covid-19 pandemic are being offered support through an innovative new online workshop. Social landlord ForHousing, the provider of the council’s housing management services, has launched Cash Chats – online sessions which are targeted at tenants who have accrued rent arrears due to the current crisis. The sessions provide information, advice and guidance for those affected by financial shock, or those who need additional support, enabling them to gain a greater understanding and more confidence around financial issues. Janet Lawton, strategic homelessness and contract lead at ForHousing, said: “Everyone has been affected by the pandemic this year.
