The main religion in Cheshire West and Chester is Christianity, with a percentage figure above the average for England (46.3%, 2021).

Three disused railways in the borough have been converted to off-road cycleways, including: The Shropshire Union Canal towpath between Waverton and the National Waterways Museum is paved with asphalt; it is a shared-use route between cyclists and pedestrians for a distance of 12.5 miles (20.1 km).

[22] A similar network of over 30 miles (48 km) of cycle routes branded the Ellesmere Port Grenway has been proposed by the town's development board.

[23] Chester has four park and ride sites located adjacent to radial routes on the city's outskirts: Boughton Heath, Sealand Road, Upton and Wrexham Road; they run on two lines which intersect at Chester Bus Interchange.

[25] Passenger numbers doubled to this figure in the ten years to 2015, making the station the eighth-busiest in North West England.

[27] Motorways and primary routes in the borough which are maintained by National Highways (trunk roads de jure) include the M6, M53, M56, A55, A483, A494, A550 and a short section of the A41 in Hooton.

Other primary routes which are maintained by the council (principal roads de jure) include the A41, A49, A51, A54, A56, A483, A530, A533, A534, A556, A5115, A5116, A5117 and A5268.

Chester and Ellesmere Port – both primary route destinations – form the hub of the road network in Cheshire West and Chester, with routes of national importance carrying traffic in all directions to locations including Flintshire, Halton, Wirral and Wrexham.

[28] Three local MPs – Graham Evans, Justin Madders and Chris Matheson – raised safety concerns about the M56 between J12 and J14 in parliament after more than 160 incidents were recorded since 2011.

In response, Andrew Jones, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport, confirmed that an upgrade to smart motorway will only take place after 2020.

The area is served by BBC North West and ITV Granada with television signals received from the Winter Hill TV transmitter.
