Cheshire Best Kept Stations

Cheshire is unique.  It is the only county in England that has a Best Kept Station Competition.

Each year Railway Stations throughout Cheshire compete for the coveted awards in this Competition.

The Awards for 2011 were presented by David Roberts, Retired Managing Director of Roberts Bakery, at the Annual Awards Evening held at the Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse, Northwich.

Frodsham was Cheshire’s Best Kept Station 2011 with awards also being received by Alsager, Chelford, Crewe, Ellesmere Port, Frodsham, Greenbank, Handforth, Helsby, Holmes Chapel, Lostock Gralam, Nantwich, Northwich Rose Hill and Runcorn Railway Stations.

Previous winners have included Acton Bridge, Chester, Cuddington, Delamere, Knutsford, Macclesfield, Mobberley, Neston, Plumley, Poynton, Stockport and Wilmslow.

Since its inception in 2003, Cheshire Best Kept Stations have had many wins but the real winner has been the partnership built between the rail operating companies, local authorities, local business and the local volunteer groups - those unsung heroes in the community.

Cheshire’s Best Kept Stations is sponsored by Arriva Trains Wales, Cheshire West and Chester Council, Cheshire East Council, Marketing Cheshire, Northern Rail, Roberts Bakery and Virgin Trains.

Cheshire Crimebeat – the High Sheriff of Cheshire’s Charity – supports youth projects at our stations, allowing young people to make a positive contribution in the community.

Cheshire Best Kept Stations – where everyone is a winner.

A partnership that encourages cleaner, tidier and more hospitable stations in Cheshire.
