Cheshire West & Chester Council is currently developing the Council Plan which sets out the vision and priorities for the next four years. At the same time, CWAC is developing its budget plans for the next four years to ensure it can fund its priorities.

Central government cuts are expected to lead to a £47m gap that the authority has to bridge over the next four years, a 17% cut to the council’s net budget.

At the event, there will also be an update regarding business support activity delivered by the West Cheshire College.
