With energy prices set to go up yet again to levels many can't sustain while attendees of DAVOS this week are flying in on private jets may I suggest we welcome the earths cycle warming things up a bit. Heating oil is hellishly expensive – this by the way is all by design.

The green tax on energy is pushing people into energy poverty meanwhile water levels in Sydney haven't changed in 150 years despite in the 80's climate nutters saying it would be underwater by 2010 – and in the 1970's "scientists" said we would have an ice age in 2020 and let's not forget the scientists bonkers modeling scenarios on Covid that sent the world into a frenzy and huge debt. I'll use a bit of common sense I think.

Even Joe Biden refers to hurricanes now as a result of climate change – Kansas has had hurricanes since before records began ffs. Shrewsbury flooded higher in the 1500's than it has in the past 100 years.

If you believe the hype and hysteria on climate change then I can only assume you believe the Covid Fear Porn, that Biden was voted in, that there were weapons of mass destruction and that the WEF and the WHO care about the people.

Anyone truly worried about their impact on the planet should never ever step foot in a supermarket, Should read what plant based foods consume in production, the chemicals and crops involved and then ask yourself what is better...eating chemicals and unsustainable crops or eating local and seasonal food – forget supermarkets, go to your butcher – the world has gone crackers.

Wouldn't it be weird if all this was to charge us more, have more control, discourage self reliance push us to submission and make a shed load of money??? I mean it doesn't keep me awake at night but it does make me wonder!

We are sadly at a stage where people can't afford to heat, eat and run cars.

We need to focus on home grown produce, support and shop local, reduce waste and generally make good decisions but sadly the masses are being forced into submission by lunatic leaders with their own agendas – follow the money and keep in mind that farmers and truckers run on diesel – when they can't afford to run, we don't eat!

Let's live our lives, question things, read more and not be led by the nose shall we. Maybe we should be more concerned that the NHS has the worst outcomes in the developed world yet we have to worship it like it's our new religion. Clap...clap....clap

It looks like the whole of Woore Road, Windmill Lane and all the streets off Windmill Lane are still awaiting the silver bin collection. I have reported on line and received the usual spiel of 'next 5 days'.

I have spoken to Cheshire East today and they have informed me that the lorry broke down yesterday,and wasnt able to finish the collections, he asked that everyone leave their bins out and they should be collected in the next few days, he was extremely helpful

I had an acknowledgement of my report of missed collection.

I rang Cheshire East today and spoke to a helpful lady who informed me that the bin folk had vehicle problems on Monday. She told me to leave the bins out and they hoped to have the bins emptied within 5 working days ! 😎�'�

After hearing the usual excuses of, leave it out and it will be collected within 5 days, and the wagon has broken down again, when pushed, the very pleasant lady at the council reluctantly admitted that the reason the bins are not getting emptied as they should be was down to a shortage of drivers, so why do they constantly try to fob us off with utter rubbish (no pun intended).

Hi
Bins not emptied at Witton Close, CW3 0HZ.
Thanks

Silver bins weren't emptied on Woore Rd either.

Dear Editor, My belief in Cheshire East Council is at an all time low. Not only was our brown bin not collected as reported here recently, coupled with the fact that our silver bin has also not been collected, we also have issue with the road gully at the end of our drive. This remains over flowing with what can only be described as a rancid smelling stagnant water. This has been reported to Cheshire East not only when it was first blocked back in November 2021, but an additional 6 times! The last time being on Friday, when I was initially greeted by a young lady who did not initially realise that I was on the line and stated "I don't want a child with a Burnley accent". Clearly when she did realise that there was someone on the line the phone went dead. It appears to me that incompetence seems to be a common trait at Cheshire East Towers! Please do pass my comments to Rachel Bailey. We also live on Kettle Lane.

Silver bins not emptied yesterday on Monks Lane & Heathfield Road too.

Must be time for a clear out. A few people have tried numbers within the directories and got no response, perhaps AOL should do an audit and see if these businesses are still valid / trading

I submitted another online form but I'm quite sure that it will not make the slightest difference as previous submissions have not achieved anything. It's strange that the feedback page, shown immediately after submitting the report, doesn't work. Can't think why that should be!
Following the missed collections on 9th May, my excess garden waste was not taken as the driver informed me "we've been told not to collect any extra waste as the wagon weights are going through the roof".

Silver bins not collected on Kettle Lane. The email address for CE Customer Services is CheshireEastCouncilCustomerServices@cheshireeast.gov.uk which seems to work, not CheshireEastCustomerServices@cheshireeast.gov.uk which doesn't work.
Have reported using the email address and received an automatic reply saying they should respond within 5 working days.
I have also reported using the Missed Bin Collection report on CE Website but this has proven to be no more use than ornament based on past experience.

Hi,
My sliver bid has been missed also, I live on Longhill Lane.

Hi all
I am looking for recommendations for a cleaner for my elderly parents. They are based in Buerton? I tried a couple of numbers from the directory , but no one replied.
Can anyone recommend anyone?
My mobile number is 07966 575748 if any one can help?

I have now used the 'report a missed collection' form.

Thanks to Kevin for his suggestion but when I tried it to report the silver bin not emptied today it rejected me as not on its list of allowable addresses!!!

Hi
Our silver bin hasn't been collected today. Anyone else affected?

Hi if anyone is looking for part time care work in audlem and can drive please give me a call
On this number 07854244455

Colin, I suggest you send an email to CheshireEastCustomerServices@cheshireeast.gov.uk. We had an issue where the black and silver bins were not collected for more than 6 weeks. If you call to report a missed collection the call goes to a call centre who log it but cannot resolve the issue. Complaining to Customer Services will get a response, although it could take up to 5 days, and it will get resolved. Our bins were emptied on a Saturday morning following the mail to CECS. Normal collection day is Monday. Good luck.

i enjoyed Chis Dyson's well thought out and scientifically based reply to Howard regarding climate change. However I have always unserstood that Flat Earthers were those who denied new scientific thinking, prefering to keep to the old beliefs.
We are all entitled to our beliefs. I hope yours do not lead to you being in that handcart heading for hell. I wish you good luck.

Well, as suspected absolutely nothing happened re the missed collection promised by lunchtime today, so having just spoken to another very friendly chap at C.E. he has assured me that the bins will be emptied today by 6pm (and he said it without laughing so it must be true). But then it got me thinking, has anyone ever seen the council refuse collectors working anywhere near 6pm, ON A FRIDAY?

Funny that Colin because my neighbours reported it online on the day of the failed collection as did I the next day. I also rang last Friday and was told we had to wait 5 working days for them to come – which should have been Tuesday at the latest. Fat chance. Still at least we're not charged for it like Cheshire West, but I suspect that won't be too long coming.

Howard, I think you are on the wrong community website?

Try Shanghai Online or Mumbai Online.

From where I an sitting the climate looks fine to me. In fact the sooner it heats up the better because £1.00 a litre for heating oil is getting a little ridiculous. Still, thats what happens when you pay people to stay at home.

In the March 2022 edition of Northwest Business Insider, Sam Ashworth (The Project Director for Hurstwood Holdings, the parent company of Tabley Homes (Audlem) Ltd) wrote the following about their proposed development in Audlem;

"We have been very encouraged by the reaction to our proposals by both the local councils and communities"

CE certainly should not have commented as the adjudicator on the planning application. I will be asking APC if they have commented, there comments should have been negative rather than encouraging, given that the proposal breaches the Audlem Neighbourhood Plan. I was not aware of any discussion that Tabley Homes held with the "communities" in Audlem – Was anyone else consulted? This seems like PR cattle manure to me. Hurstwood holdings is an established group that pushes through this sort of development nationwide.

PLEASE go to the CE planning portal (Application No: 22/1302N), read the comments some have made already and register yours
