Hello fellow resident! My name is James Pratt, I live in Crewe, St Barnabas ward and I’m a local councillor for our area.
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 am your councillor, who also lives in your area and I’m working for local residents to tackle issues such as pot holes, litter, fly tipping, parking problems, street lighting, and anti social behaviour to make our area better. Please let me know about the issues you’d like me to work on or report them online.
Read my latest news updates or check my recent facebook posts to find out what I’m up to!
Please follow and share my Facebook page and by sign up for my Email Newsletter so I can keep you up to date on local issues.
In February 2023 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 get in contact about any local issue please do get in touch.
Thank you for your support!
Here’s what I’ve been up to recently…

I've enjoyed being out and about this week, especially in the sunshine today instead of dodging the usual showers!
I've met with residents and discussed concerns that have been raised to me, as well as reporting various issues that I've seen myself across our patch.
This has included the usual issues with potholes, checking and reporting outstanding road problems on Hulme Street, Minshull New Road and West Street
📣 More to come on this soon, keep following my facebook! 📣
As well as requesting:
Clear ups of fly tipping around the area
Collection of a lost shopping trolley on Badger Avenue
Repair of a broken alley gate lock

...and many other issues.

WORKING FOR OUR AREA IN ST BARNABAS
It's been another busy week working to tackle various issues across our area.
Several items of fly tipping have been requested for clearance, a drainage issue has been reported and I've discussed many other individual issues with residents.
I've also had a meeting this week with a senior highways officer to work to put together a plan to make more permanent repairs to the worst areas of potholes and road defects in our patch. The budget available to me is unfortunately very small so I am keen to ensure I can get as much done as cost effectively as possible.
As always, if there's something you think I could help with, do let me know using the link below.
Have a great weekend!
