	Introduction
		Crewe and Nantwich Borough has a resident population of 111,006 and covers around 160 square miles. It offers a mix of historic towns and un spoilt villages set in South Cheshire countryside. The excellent communication links render the Borough an ideal base for exploring surrounding areas. The two main towns offer a contrast. Crewe is a thriving modern industrial and commercial centre, complemented by the historic market town of Nantwich. Whilst Crewe has a long history as a manufacturing and railway engineering centre, Nantwich is best known for its agricultural strengths, especially in the dairy industry. However, in recent years a number of newer service and high technology companies have moved into the area which now gives the Borough a more diverse economic base.
