We are Roger Morris and David Simcox, your Conservative candidates for the new Wistaston & Willaston ward. Roger has lived in Wistaston for years. This is home. We are here to fight for these villages and the people who live in them.
From Church Lane to Middlewich Road, Wells Green to Moorfields, Crewe Road in Willaston and the lanes around Mike Heywood Green — this is our patch and we are proud of it.
We have been knocking on doors, attending planning meetings, challenging Cheshire East Council and listening to what residents tell us matters most.
We are not career politicians. Roger has run his family business on West Street for over 35 years and knows this community inside out. David has spent his working life helping people in Crewe through Citizens Advice. We are local people who want to make a real difference.
No spin, no twelve-point plan dreamt up in an office somewhere. Just clear priorities, honest communication and hard work for the people of Wistaston and Willaston.
About Roger & David →🌿 Latest: Green Gap Planning Decision — 28 May 2026
Outline planning permission has been granted for 660 homes on land east of Middlewich Road, Wistaston. It went through on a casting vote, with Labour councillors from Crewe West moving and seconding approval. This is a serious blow for residents but the fight is not over.

🌳 Our Green Gap matters, and we’re continuing to raise the issue.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been out speaking with residents and delivering our survey about housebuilding and the Wistaston and Willaston Green Gap.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to chat with us or complete a survey. We want to hear your views and make sure the concerns you raise are properly represented.
We were recently joined by Ben Fletcher, the Conservative candidate for Mayor of Cheshire and Warrington, to help with the surveys and discuss the plans for up to 660 homes on land east of Middlewich Road.
The council has already voted to approve the outline application. We remain disappointed by that decision, but there is still work to do, scrutinising the detailed proposals as they come forward, pressing for proper infrastructure and protecting the remaining Green Gap.
We need homes that people can afford, alongside proper planning for roads, schools, GP services and drainage. We also want to see greater priority given to suitable brownfield sites and bringing our town centres back into use.
🎥 In this video, we discuss the development and why this matters.
If we haven’t spoken to you yet, please take part in our local survey. It covers housebuilding and wider local services. Whatever your views, we want to hear them.

Lovely to see this. Wistaston Jubilee Tennis Club on Church Lane has officially opened two newly resurfaced all-weather courts, and what a community effort it’s been to get there.
Roger remembers playing there as a kid, so it’s great to see the club in such good shape nearly 50 years on. The club started with a Crowdfunder target of £15,000 and ended up raising over £42,000 thanks to local residents, businesses and Sport England match funding. That’s the sort of thing that makes you proud to live here.
The new astroturf courts mean people can play year-round whatever the weather throws at us, with new fencing also on the way.
If you’ve not been down for a look, it’s well worth it. Great facilities, right in the heart of the village.

Straight from the fete to fixing things on Broughton Lane
Busy week for us. Thursday evening, Roger was co-opted onto Wistaston Parish Council. Two days later, straight after the fete, we headed down to Broughton Lane to take a look at the “Your Speed” sign that residents told us had been out of action for months.
We got it sorted within a working day.
This isn’t about blowing our own trumpet, it’s about showing what we mean when we say we’ll get on with things rather than just talk about them. Speed signs like this one matter. They remind drivers to slow down on a road plenty of families walk along, and when they’re dark for months at a time that’s a genuine safety concern, not just an inconvenience.
If there’s something similar in your part of Wistaston or Willaston that’s been reported but never fixed, let us know. We can’t promise everything gets sorted in a day, but we’ll always chase it and we’ll always tell you honestly where things stand.

Great to see Wistaston Community News and Events out in force at today’s Village Fete!
Brilliant afternoon at Wistaston Church Lane Academy for this year’s Village Fete, bouncy castles, stalls, games and a proper World Cup theme running through it all to mark this summer’s tournament. Lovely to catch up with so many residents and see the community turn out in such numbers.
Events like this don’t happen by themselves so a huge thanks to the volunteers at Wistaston Community News & Events for putting it together, and to Whitegates for their support this year.
Roger and I were really pleased to be there this is exactly the kind of community spirit we want to keep backing. #Wistaston #wistastonfete #wistastonandwillaston
