Hi Louise,
I don't know why there isn't a footpath between Corbrook and where the foot path next to the main road restarts at the bottom of the dip on the Hankelow side.
It can be risky walking this stretch on the road itself.
What I would do is take the footpath across the fields from Monks Lane, past The Parkes and on towards the A525. This footpath emerges where the roadside footpath begins and so you can continue on to Hankelow in safety.
Hope this helps.
Nigel.

Why is there no pathway along the road between Corbrook Park Nursing home and Hankelow, or is there another pathway between Audlem and Hankelow that I don't know about?

Does anyone have a glass tile cutter I might borrow please. I have tiles being fitted tomorrow (Monday 22 Aug) but need a cutter to ensure the job can get done. The tiles are actually glass rather than ceramic hence the specific ask. If you can help please call 07909 522287. Thank you.

I imagine the vehicles involved were parked on the street(s) where there exists shorter time limits.
Tuesday coming there will be a large funeral I believe. Mr. Hassall was a lovely man.

Any recommendations for the cleaning of soffits, fascia boards and the outside of gutters on our bungalow in Hankelow please. We have tried to contact companies/ individuals in 'Directories' but have had no replies.Thanks.

Stroller has now been found, Thank you

Just had an email update:-
"Shropshire Council have started working and work are currently in progress.

The permit to allow Shropshire Council to carry out the works has been approved by Shropshire meaning they have permission to carry out the works.

The dates for the works have been changed from to 30 Jun 2020 09:00 – 30 Dec 2022 23:59."

Unless the parking warden studies the obituaries of the local papers or checks AOL each day I doubt they would have known about the funeral, and their presence in the village was merely a coincidence.

However, having walked past the car park today the sign at the entrance indicates that the parking limit is 11 hours of free parking. If the car was parked for less time than that then I think you have grounds for an appeal.

I suspect though that the warden felt that the car wasn't parked correctly, otherwise they would have issued tickets to those who park their cars there day and night due to a lack of parking at the home address.

It is not the first time a traffic warden has appeared on the day of a funeral ! – sadly the village parking is difficult – on Tuesday – not easy to access turnpike re four way traffic lights and green lane closed – surely in those circumstances common sense should prevail which appears to be no longer the case in this world

Just a point of information for the future control of Ragwort that would help to relieve the strain on volunteers who have toiled under blazing sunshine to manually dig it out of the ground recently. An alternative worth consideration is the use of an atv or quadbike with a weed roller on the back set to a height of say 12 or 18 inches (metric versions are available) above the ground. The roller is fed with a commercial herbicide that wipes the Ragwort with sufficient chemical to kill it without destroying the shorter grasses and valuable flora below it, thus saving much time and manual effort in physically digging it out. Obviously, the timing of the application would depend upon the year and state of growth of the Ragwort but with such alarming density that has been allowed to accumulate under previous management, it would make life a lot easier for the future control of this pernicious and poisonous weed. But well done to all the valiant volunteers who have done such an outstanding job this year.

Not sure if I said does or does not relate to the bridge – it should read does NOT relate to the actual bridge but the dog run into the brook

I believe it is not the actual bridge itself that the notices relate to but the area to the left when approaching the bridge from The Green side that the dogs use to get into and out of the brook. The notices are only 'advisory' and Cheshire East's way of covering themselves on the Health and Safety front.

I can see that it must b e upsetting to get a ticket under the circumstances described but spare a thought for the traffic warden . What are the terms in his job description? Is he allowed to decide about issuing tickets? Was he aware of the funeral taking place ? If those who received a ticket contact the relevant people perhaps they have the authority to waive charges. Somebody doing such an unpopular job must need the employment so spare a thought for that person.

On my dog walk today I followed the public foot path down vicaridge lane .several notices were pinned up advising a bridge was unsafe ,but it wasn't clear which one ,can anyone make it clearer ,thanking you .

Just doing his job. How does he know where the drivers gone?

Hello, I'm looking for a seamstress in or nearby Audlem. Does anyone know of anybody? Thanks, William pearson

I suspect the Traffic Warden was targeting unlawfully parked cars. It's what we expect Traffic Wardens to do for us.

Janet, I can't help but agree that receiving a parking ticket after attending a funeral can only make a bad day even worse, and it is not a great look for a village desperately trying to attract more shoppers and visitors either. It only goes to highlight how urgently this village needs more parking. In the meantime I wonder if the Parish Council should contact the local funeral directors to remind them that the Turnpike Field can be made available for additional parking in the drier months ? It's not a something that grieving relatives would necessarily be thinking about during their period of immediate loss, but a funeral director could easily arrange it with the PC if they felt it appropriate to the potential size of the congregation. I would also suggest that anyone planning a large local wedding may also consider this as an option too. The field is there to be utilised by the local population and there is no cost involved, as it is run by volunteers.

The Secret Bunker could be a possibility, but don't tell anyone where it is and I believe it is quite soundproof Billy. This new band will it be a rubber one or a hair one ? The answer is in the question – knob to the left not the right. Good Luck

Just wanted to say how disgusted we were to see a traffic warden in Audlem today who ticketing people attending the funeral. They were parked in a legal parking bay but had gone over the time limit a little as the service ran on. lovely to see that there is still some compassion in this world (NOT!)

Hi
We have what Laura Ellwood needs. If you/ she can we provide her contact details we will message her

Hello can anyone advise whether Jean who advertises cleaning duties etc on AOL is still in business? I have sent emails and texts to the info given but not had any response.
Many thanks

Even though I have the best neighbours in the world, I'm looking for a place to rehearse a new band so my neighbours don't have to be subject to too much Rockabilly music. Does anyone know anywhere in the Audlem area suitable please? I can offer free earplugs to anyone nearby if needed although the rest of the band are currently using them at the moment. I'm sure it's nothing to do with my singing........possibly....... ;-0

To those who have enjoyed the benefits of, for example, a Parish Council or a Public Hall Committee, without making any attempt to contribute to them -
I suggest that instead of moaning and picking holes that you get involved.
None of these resources work by magic.

Bit late but I have been pondering on the access to Pym's lane with Middlewich road closed. Their website not very helpful as it says 'access via Marshfield roundabout' anyway they have been sensible and put the barriers just beyond the Middlewich road lights which means you can still turn right and access as usual!.
