We would like to thank the community in Crewe for their response and resilience following the devastating fire at a commercial property at Catherine Street. Hundreds of residents were displaced by the incident on Friday as emergency services fought to put out the fire. An emergency cordon and a number of road closures were put in place. The council set up an emergency rest centre at Crewe Lifestyle Centre for residents who had to leave their homes overnight. Once the fire was extinguished and demolition of the remaining structure was completed, the cordon and remaining road closures were lifted on Sunday evening at around 8pm. The council’s environmental services company, Ansa, started a clean-up of the surrounding streets, clearing ash, dust and debris. Councillor Nick Mannion, leader of Cheshire East Council, said: “I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the Crewe community, emergency services, businesses, volunteers and Cheshire East Council staff who supported the response to the fire in Crewe on Friday evening and over the weekend. “Thankfully, emergency services reported no casualties, despite the devastating scale of this incident. “Council officers worked through the night and throughout the weekend to ensure that residents were kept safe, well and were informed as the situation developed. Officers also worked alongside Cheshire Fire and Rescue and Cheshire Police to ensure the response at the site itself and surrounding area, and, later, the lifting of cordons and road closures, was managed safely. “The fire led to evacuation of dozens of households from the surrounding residential streets. The council, supported by the British Red Cross, set up an emergency rest centre at Crewe Lifestyle Centre and supported residents through the night on Friday and up to 7pm on Saturday when the rest centre closed. Thankfully, at this point, most families could return home as the cordon was reduced. Staff arranged for emergency hotel accommodation for those who still could not return home and had nowhere else to go. “We understand that this has been an incredibly upsetting time. If residents continue to feel emotionally affected by this incident, in coming days, they may want to consider seeking further advice and support from their GP. “The council’s role in responding to major incidents is not always as obvious or well known as that of the police, fire or NHS. However, the events of the weekend show the important role the council has in supporting our communities at times of crisis.” As residents look to settle back into their homes, the council has published guidance on dealing with any remaining ash, dust and debris.

We’re pleased to share that Crewe’s new multi-storey car park will open on Monday (29 July). The new long-stay car park will be open between 7am and midnight, when it will then be locked. It’s open Monday to Saturday. Here are a few other things you may want to know: 📌 Ticketed barriers at the entrance/exit to the car park. 📌 Access at the pedestrian entrances is restricted to only those who have a parking ticket and are returning to their vehicle. 📌 CCTV across the site, including at the lobby areas of the car park – which is monitored. 📌 20 electric vehicle charging points (including two for disabled drivers) - located on the top floor of the carpark. 📌 Parent and child spaces. 📌 Solar panels – these will minimise the energy costs of both the car park and new bus station.
