Some councillors in Cheshire East object to including Warrington in a deal with government.

Politicians in Cheshire are split over whether to let one of the county's councils join their devolution bid over fears about inheriting its debts.

“I think it would be utter madness for this council to go into such a deal, because it will just syphon off the resources into Warrington.” He told Cheshire East’s corporate policy committee on Thursday it was "timely and important" to hold talks with the government.Sam Corcoran, the council leader, said Cheshire East had a "very close working between" with Cheshire West and Warrington, and said there was no risk of Cheshire East’s funding being "syphoned off".
