Council officers could soon have the power to inspect every private rented property in one of the most deprived areas of Crewe, writes Stephen Topping.
Cheshire East Council is considering introducing selective licensing in an area to the west of Crewe station – including parts of Nantwich Road, Edleston Road and Mill Street.

Cheshire East councillors are urging the Government to close a loophole allowing cross-border taxi hiring in an effort to protect children.
New legislation in 2015 made cross-border taxi hiring easier, so vehicles licensed by other councils can lawfully work in Nantwich and Crewe without meeting Cheshire East Council’s requirements.
Cheshire Police have vowed to crackdown on alcohol misuse in Nantwich and other towns as part of a week-long initiative.
Officers will be carrying out activities all week including licensing checks and compliance of alcohol exclusion zones.
Nantwich pubs, clubs and takeaways could face a “levy” for opening after midnight to help clean-up and police the town’s streets. The plans have been mooted as part of Cheshire East Council’s consultation on its licensing policy.
Nantwich residents are angry at a pub company’s bid to re-open its Welsh Row venue with longer opening hours. Enterprise Inns plc has applied to change the licensing conditions in place at the currently closed Wilbraham Arms pub.
The former Mia Stanza store on Nantwich’s Welsh Row could become a new Thai restaurant and takeaway, it has emerged. A licensing application has been lodged by restaurant owners in Manchester for the site, town councillors said.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
