Robert Mee, High Sheriff of Cheshire MEET the new High Sheriff of Cheshire for 2021, keeping up a tradition that dates back more than 1,000 years. Robert Mee DL from Mollington, Chester, takes on the role of High Sheriff for the next year – an honour that is the country’s oldest secular title, traditionally responsible for the judiciary and law and order in the land. Originally from Nottingham, Robert joined Chester-based company Capital Bank in 1972, working his way up to managing director during his 30-year career there. After holding a number of non-executive positions, he retired in 2010. He then undertook a number of volunteer roles, including a collaboration with Cheshire West and Chester Council to set up a development board for Ellesmere Port to drive economic growth and help advise on priorities for the town.

Work has officially been completed on the town’s £19.89million Centre Park Link scheme. A new bridge across the River Mersey from Chester Road, just north of Gainsborough Road, has been constructed, joining onto an extended Slutchers Lane leading from Wilson Patten Street. New signal-controlled junctions have been constructed at each end of the new link on Chester Road and Wilson Patten Street. Warrington Borough Council says the project will support Warrington’s ongoing growth and transform journeys around one the borough’s most busy road networks. The scheme will improve the overall capability of Warrington’s transport network to deal with incidents and will help make journey times shorter and more reliable for motorists and public transport users.
