Two hundred council staff can park for free on multi-storey

|May 28, 2025
TWO hundred of Cheshire East's 3,200 staff have an access card to park for free in the multi-storey car park in Crewe.
The council was asked about staff parking after a businessman said he had witnessed cars leaving at the same time on numerous days and driving straight through on number plate recognition.
He said: "I assume the vast majority of these are Cheshire East employees."
Referring to the low number of cars which use the 390-space car park, he added: "Given the fact that only a few cars need to use the next level up and potentially many of these are Cheshire East staff or visitors, what prospect is there of this ever being anything more that an over large Cheshire East car park?
"Nurses at hospitals have to pay to park at their place of work."
