Weaver and Cuddington Ward is represented by 2 Conservative Councillors Phil Rimmer and Lynn Stocks, and 1 independent Councillor, who were elected in May 2023 to represent the ward on Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council, as Conservatives.

Phil and Lynn try to attend Parish Council meetings in the ward and are usually available before or after meetings. Any urgent matters can be raised directly by telephone or email (see Contact Us page).
Phil Rimmer has lived in Cheshire all of his life. Phil has served on a Parish Council before and wants to make a difference for all residents in the local area. Phil decided to stand as he was fed up with the state of our roads and the levels of Council Tax we all have to pay.
Lynn Stocks is married to Mark and has three grown up children. She has lived in Cheshire most of her adult life. Over recent years, she has spent a lot of time serving the community as an NHS volunteer responder and also as a vaccination steward in Hartford. She also donates blood regularly at Weaverham Community Centre.
Weaver & Cuddington ward was created in 2011. The 2019 local elections saw a change in the ward’s boundaries, due to a reduction in the total number of Borough Cllrs from 75 to 70 leading to changes in wards and boundaries across the Borough. Weaver & Cuddington remained a 3 member ward covering the existing Parishes of Acton Bridge, Cuddington & Sandiway and Weaverham, and Crowton and Norley became part of the ward. Dutton Parish (Dutton & Bartington) moved into Marbury ward.
