Governance
From 1974 Hurleston fell within Crewe and Nantwich Borough Council, which was succeeded on 1 April 2009 by the unitary authority of Cheshire East.[3] Since 2024 Hurleston has been within the parliamentary constituency of Chester South and Eddisbury[4] which is represented by Aphra Brandreth of the Conservative Party.[5]
Hurleston was formerly a township in the parish of Acton.[6] In 1866 it became a civil parish in its own right.[7] On 1 April 2023 the parish was abolished and merged with Stoke to form "Stoke and Hurleston".[8]
Geography and transport
The civil parish includes several small deciduous and mixed woodlands including Bachehouse Covert, and also the mere of Bachehouse Pool and most of Hurleston Reservoir.[9]
The Shropshire Union Canal splits into two branches at Hurleston Junction and both branches run through the parish. The main line runs north–south, while the Llangollen branch at first runs westwards, descending 34 feet via the four Hurleston Locks, and then turns southwards.[9] The A51 runs north–south through the parish, crossing the Llangollen branch of the canal at Hurleston Bridge. The A534 forms part of the southern boundary of the civil parish.[9]
