Yes, it is OUTRAGEOUS, or even amazing, how our Parish Council manage to provide the services they do in these inflationary times by limiting the precept increase to only 60 pence per week. As you say Andy, 5 shillings or a crown a week in old money!

According to my maths it's less than five shillings a week, or for those even older than me that's less than a crown!

I'm sure we'll get an explanation though.

Well, I suppose they have got to recoup the best part of £200,000 that they manage to carelessly lose somehow Tim

Just had my new Council Tax bill through. I was expecting an increase relating to inflation. 5% increase from Cheshire East, Fire Services and Police, but 12.9% increase from Audlem Parish Council is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!

I want to send many, many congratulations to all the cast and crew of this fabulous show which we went to see last night! A very impressive first night!
A special mention for Naomi Newman who wrote all the music and conducted the wonderful choir!
I would urge people to go and watch it (on till Saturday at Audlem Methodist Church).

Tim from Astro Aerials in Crewe is highly recommended 01270 850012 /07751 041156

Shower trays developed a leak and needs resealing. Any recommendations on someone who does this work would be appreciated.

Can anyone recommend a local gas engineer to service an Ideal max combi boiler, please?

Hi

Good morning – does anyone have a contact for a local *reliable* TV and aerial engineer? Looking for my mum .... thanks :)

There are a number listed in AOL Directory Businesses/Transport

Can anyone recommend a taxi firm who would go to Manchester Airport?

Is Mark goldsmith taking the wizz, 550 potholes he's having a laugh. I suppose his definition of a pothole is different to the majority of tax paying people who use our deteriorating road infrastructure. For goodness sake can this joke of a council take some responsibility for a change.

I noticed with rolled eyes Cheshire East's press release featured on Audlem Online today, in which the council attempt to refute the fact that they are the WORST council in the country for potholes. Particularly ironic was the part where they referred to: "We are using our limited budgets in the best possible way." Our roads are visibly terrible, they are disintegrating from lack of care and there are visibly potholes eveywhere. Do they think we're all blind? Cheshire East's 'limited' total budget for 2024-2025 was £287m...limited?! Perhaps not building a white elephant multi storey car park in Crewe, which is operating at a loss due to under use does not represent using budgets in the 'best way'. How many potholes could have been fixed with that. How can they be made to be accountable...? Furthermore, giving them greater power & tax raising power as part of a regional Cheshire devolved authority does not seem to be a sensible thing to do...

I have read, with interest ,Mark Goldsmith comments about pot holes. I don't know where and on what roads he drives on but I suspect the article is spot on.

Kind person to sit with bed/chair bound elderly gentleman saturday mornings 9 til 12. Just company and make drink and snack

Please note.
APC web site clearly states that the deadline is the 6th March.
Cheshire East have given APC an extension until the 24th March. Any residents have to submit before 6th.

Does anyone know someone who would be able to fit two cat flaps?
If so please ring Dave on 07753141273. Thank you.

I agree with John W
But.....train of thought, why not get Elon Musk in to check PC "missing" Finances ?

Just wanted to say. I agree we need the Ukrainian flags back up in the village. Show our support for a peaceful country that has been wrecked by a dictator. Ring any bells. Also as a retired service man I have noticed that there are a few Union Jacks that are flying upside down in the village.

I agree with Roland, let's show some support.

I'd support displaying our Ukrainian flags if only to give people under Russian attack some small degree of hope.

Rather Ukrainian flags on Cheshire street than Russian ones. Putin has no respect for borders, Novichok in Salisbury, Pulonium in London hotel. We must stand with Ukraine
