Whoever decided that Olive & Geoff should "retire (sic)" should hold their heads in shame! – would these be the same people responsible for a Police probe of 'suspicious' cash transactions within the parish council? Just saying....

Hi, I have been advised that my Grandparents are buried in Audlem cemetery and would like to visit the grave.
Who would be the best person to advise me please ?
Thanks
Terry

I am totally flabbergasted that a couple like Geoff and Olive who have dedicated so much of of their time ( freely ) and hard work , have been treated so shabbily !! It's a wonder anyone does anything freely any more . Who ever is responsible for causing them all this upset should be ASHAMED !

Have to agree with Bob Fousert.
What's going on with the village institutions of late? People like Olive and Geoff are the backbone of the community and need encouragement.

We are painting our shop this week due to all the unsightly dog wee marks on the shop, we all want to keep the village looking clean and fresh so, would all those dog lovers out there get their dogs to wee up against other areas and not against the wall and door of the shop
We would really appreciate your efforts on this, we have around 10/day stains that we have to wash off
Much appreciated and a massive thank you

We find at Audlem Mill that Sunday is usually the busiest day of the week for our shop, so of course we are open. We are regularly asked every Sunday where people can buy a coffee and cake, or lunch, and of late, they have been telling us that all catering establishments in Audlem have been closed. As just about all Audlem retail businesses rely heavily on tourism, it seems a great pity that many are closed on one of the days that they are most needed.

Regarding the comment of Geoff and olive retiring from caretakers of the hall I believe they were sacked not retired ,Such a shame

Olive, if this is the case, it's very sad and brings shame on the Town Hall Committee! It seems that loyalty, dedication and selfless good service over many years counts for nothing. This beggars the question, why would anyone want to volunteer their help in the future?

Hi all

Is the Lord Combermere re-opening? We popped into Audlem yesterday (we live on the outskirts) to walk down to the cafe at Overwater. On our way back we popped into the Co-op and were discussing how much was now closed in the village with the addition of Sunday closures as well. Shroppie, Lord Combermere,Eleventh Hour and on a Sunday Tearoom at No.11, Lindens. I understand it may be due to lack of footfall but seems such a shame

I would just like to say we did not Retire from the Town Hall we were pushed out sacked

I wouldn't be too concerned about the raucous behaviour of a few of the village lads Geoff. If their over exuberant antics only follow a Crewe Alex victory I think your fence will be standing for a good number of years.

As a former member of the Public Hall Committee, I must endorse the thanks for Olive and Geoff for their hard work over the last two decades. Without their dedicated contributions I'm sure that the Public Hall would be struggling to survive. They are the unsung heroes of Audlem, having given their time for free. Enjoy your retirement from the day-to-day running of the Hall. You will be hard to follow.

How about the freedom of the Village award for Geoff and Olive Sretch ?
If anybody deserves it they do. List of voluntary work is endless. I believe that the award is at the discretion of the Parish Council . Come on Councillors have a vote on it.

Hi Michael,
I can thoroughly recommend Anthony Jess.
He is very experienced especially with old materials and techniques and likes things done properly. He is based in Shavington. His mobile number is 07913 533 859
Nice bloke too and interesting to talk to.
Hope you get sorted out.

A small group of lads (two or three) came down the alleyway by the side of The Scout Hut today (Saturday) at around 5.30 singing loudly songs supporting Crewe Alex. I assume they had been to the game against Harrogate.As a former Crewe Alex season ticket holder for twenty years, I have no problem with that but they also chose to hit/kick the fence at the back of my property. The fence has suffered several bouts of vandalism recently and I assume these lads are to blame. I would appeal to their parents to warn them against such behaviour. Several years ago I caught,through the use of cameras, a similar miscreant who was arrested , taken to Nantwich Police Station and interviewed under caution with his parents. I hope the same fate will not befall these lads.

Can someone please share the contact details for Anthony Jess?

Mike: It's cheaper to impose hosepipe bans than fix leaks or invest in water storage facilities as it is cheaper to dump raw sewage in rivers rather than dispose of it safely and hygienically. Of course, you lose customer goodwill but water companies don't care about that. Profit is all.

Hi Nessa,

Could anyone recommend someone for either or both of the above jobs. Hedges need trimming asap. S. Buerton.

With hose pipe bans imminent, am I the only one unsurprised by United Utilities sluggish response to the Green Lane water feature which after several days is now cutting up the road?
