Hello Audlem
I'm so lucky, I've been given a whole lot of beautiful plants, therefore I'm in need of some terracotta plant pots if anyone has any surplus to requirements...
I can collect and make a donation to the charity shop.
Thanks in advance.

Golden Labrador dog with collar running loose, just seen at Churchfields running towards Stafford Street.

To Lesley Ross. Your daughter's artwork is beautiful

Has anyone else been cold called about checking roof insulation. I am slightly concerned that this is a scam and have advised my dad to reject anyone offering to check.

Hi, we have an external garage security lock that needs fitting, can someone recommend a local person who would be able to do this?

Nigel, Thanks for your kind comment. Bob

Young Chocolate working cocker has been lost in fields around Buerton after being scared by dog attack, dog has pink collar & still has pink slip lead attached.
People out looking but any sightings would help .

Good morning Bob.
Thank you for the Atlantic Adventure Part 1 article; great stuff! I am looking forward to Part 2 with awe.

The AOL team have written and published some very good and relevant articles this week that will have rung true with many of us who have been or still are involved with village projects alongside the Parish Council. I also agreed with the many positive statements regarding the value of Parish Councillors – themselves being volunteers.

The comment that particularly gelled with me in yesterday's 'Volunteers and Project' article was the clause:
"The key point is that this Working Group is given a broad objective and then left to get on with it, within some given budgetary constraints. Such working groups can work much more quickly and more flexibly than the Parish Council itself with its rigid monthly timetable and highly formalised procedures",
The numerous examples summarised in the article clearly demonstrated the repeated success of this strategy.

I too read about the decision with interest. I especially found the inference that no local resident is entitled to undisturbed sleep before midnight on any day of the week enlightening. I attended a wedding at a similarly located venue a few years back where as a result of planning objections, the owner had installed a very sophisticated soundproofing system whereby once you had passed through several doors to reach the adjoining garden, no sound at all could be heard from the dance floor so local residents were not disturbed at all. Perhaps The Parkes will provide a similar system? As for Bob Fusart's final comment, experience has taught me that for anything connected with Cheshire East's Planning Department or indeed Cheshire East itself, the only possible response is invariably extreme cynicism.

Well stated! Bob Cartwright would have been proud of you. I wish AOL team well in their quest for answers. But on evidence of the last few years I'm not holding my breath. Maybe we need to involve Jackie Weaver???

I read with interest the Planning decision on the Parkes. Whilst it all sound pretty good and reasonable, who is going to monitor that the criteria regarding number of guests and the time limits are observed. As with all these things, it is inevitable that 'mission creep' will ultimately prevail and before we know it the number of guests will slowly rise and the hours of operation extend. Me a cynic? Never!

Very good points by the editorial team today. Hope you get some answers

Yes work has already started. It is cordoned off with a metal fence, trees cut down, hedgerow removed. A large area has been filled with soil covering the rabbit warrens etc. a ramp from existing works has been created for the digger.
It was a haven for wildlife and untouched since the trains stopped running.

Yes good luck Audlem FC for the big game

I know there was quite a bit of interest in both the original and amended planning application for The Parkes as a wedding venue . Planning Cttee heard the application on 9th February, link to decision below suggest cut and paste.

Apology if already submitted

I think you will find work has already started! – If it has it shouldn't have, and if you think it has then you should contact CE Planning and ask them why it's started

Good luck to Audlem FC for the game against Cooper Buckley on Sunday 27 Feb

I think you will find work has already started!

I would like to thank those fearless souls, who despite the rotten weather on Saturday, persevered with planting snowdrops in the church grounds. The flowers are a cheery and uplifting sight this time of year!

We'd like to thank the editors of AOL for the nicely balanced article 'Audlem Emerges'. It was lovely to read something which had such a positive tone. Many thanks indeed also to the team for all the work that they do to keep AOL a vibrant daily 'read' for us all.

For those who checked out my YouTube " road construction and maintenance" idea? Here's my update.
It's called tyre-derived- geo- cylinder technology. In simple terms it's a tyre filled with aggregate, it's permeable, erosion resistant and environmentally friendly. Here's how it works, (the best tyres to use are truck tyres) first the side walls are removed from the tyres. The surface area is removed to the required depth, the tyres are placed in the trench face down and nail gunned together forming a honeycomb structure. The tyres are then compacted with aggregate then covered with whatever permeable finish one requires.
This process is away of binding crushed stone aggregates together into a load bearing circular building unit which can support compressive loads and resist lateral soil pressure.
This system is being used across Europe, the USA and Canada.

Maybe a local civil engineer could look into the possibility?

Black Labrador type dog running loose in turnpike field this morning from about 8 until quarter past. Didn't look as though it had a collar on. It darted through the barbed wire fence and down onto the towpath at the coop end of the field.

Nothing happening yet

Just wondering what's happening to Audlem sewage works, off Whitchurch Road.
Is it due to be extended?
I don't remember any planning permission floating around anywhere!
