Hello fellow residents! I’m James Pratt, your local councillor for Crewe St Barnabas. I live right here in the heart of our St Barnabas community, in the West End of Crewe.
I’m proud to represent our area on both Cheshire East Council and Crewe Town Council, working to make sure your voice is heard and local priorities are delivered across Crewe & Nantwich.
From Minshull New Road, to Underwood Lane, West Street to Wheelman Road, Badger Avenue, Frank Webb, Rolls Avenue, Chassagne Square, Kettell to McNeill Avenue and all roads and communities in between – we are all Crewe St Barnabas.
I’m your local councillor – and a fellow resident of our community. I’m working hard to tackle the everyday issues that matter, including potholes, litter, fly-tipping, parking problems, street lighting and anti-social behaviour.
If there’s something you’d like me to look into, please get in touch – or you can report issues online.

I wrote to every household in the area and delivered residents surveys to to find what issues you’d like to see tackled in our community. You can still complete this survey online if you have not already. |
If you would like to contact me about any local issue please do get in touch.
Thank you for your support!

YOUR COUNCILLOR - WORKING FOR OUR AREA!
I often see posts from other areas asking, “Where’s my councillor?”
I really hope people don’t feel that way in St Barnabas.
As I regularly do, I’ve been out across the ward all day today – despite the wind, rain and resulting fluffy hair – checking on local issues and getting them reported. That included overgrown trees, potholes, fly tipping and of course a lot more.
Thank you to everyone who stopped for a chat, said hello, or shared something they need help with. It really does help me stay on top of what matters in our community.
If there’s something I can help with, please get in touch:
www.crewestbarnabas.org.uk/contact/
Or report issues online quickly here:

Let’s keep making St Barnabas better. 💪🌧🌳
