Pupils at Sir William Stanier Community School have met Crewe and Nantwich MP Edward Timpson to share with him their ideas of how to re-develop Crewe town centre. 

They also discussed their views on plans to move Crewe Station to Basford Sidlings, following his tour of the school and a look at plans for the new school building to replace Coppenhall and Victoria high schools. 

Mr Timpson said he thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Year 8 pupils' ideas. 

"It was great to see how young people are taking an active interest in the re-development of their town - something that should definitely be encouraged." 

He also congratulated them on raising £300 for the charity CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young).

A school spokeswoman said the children enjoyed meeting their new MP.
