Cheshire East Highways project shortlisted for National Parking Award

We are pleased to share that a project led by Cheshire East Council, delivered in collaboration with our Cheshire East Highways teams, has been shortlisted for a national award.

Colleagues from across Cheshire East Highways worked closely with council teams and supply chain partners to successfully introduce pay and display parking across 22 car parks in nine towns and villages throughout the borough.

The programme included the installation of 30 new solar-powered parking machines, carefully adapted and positioned to ensure accessibility for all users. A strong focus on clear, inclusive communication was also central to the project, helping local communities understand the changes and how they would be implemented.

The team has now been shortlisted in the Traffic Team of the Year category at the National Parking Awards, which recognises partnership-led approaches that demonstrate positive change, good practice and high standards of customer service.

This shortlisting reflects the strength of collaboration between our teams, our client and industry partners, and our shared commitment to delivering sustainable, cost-effective solutions for local communities.

Congratulations to everyone involved, and to all other finalists. We look forward to the awards evening in September at the Royal Lancaster in London.
