Prevent the closure of Chelford Market and Auction House
Rejected
17 signatures
What the petition asks
This closure will be disastrous for the rural community; many will be required to transport livestock further which requires licensing. At a time when British farming is already struggling these extra costs are unacceptable. Cheshire East Council should prevent closure until it can be relocated.
