"Cheshire East, is a unitary authority with Borough status, in the ceremonial
county of Cheshire. It was established in April 2009 as part of the 2009
structural changes to local government in England, by virtue of an order under
the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007. It replaced the
boroughs of Macclesfield, Congleton and Crewe and Nantwich. The rest of
ceremonial Cheshire is composed of Cheshire West and Chester, Warrington and
Halton. The decision to create the Cheshire East unitary authority was announced
on 25 July 2007 following a consultation period, in which a proposal to create a
single Cheshire unitary authority was rejected. The new unitary authority will
have a population of around 358,900 (2006 population estimate) and an electorate
(i.e., those able to vote in its elections) of around 285,000. Cheshire East's
sister authority, Cheshire West and Chester, has an electorate of around 255,000
and is 116,638 hectares in
size." - from Wikipedia :
