I have been to see Ralph today in Clarendon House along with Maureen Mayne.
We have been a few times to see him and he expresses great delight and is aware of who we are.
His sons have put a lovely tree up in his room and he has a few cards.
I have so much admiration and respect for Ralph . He has great strength of mind and I'm sure he would love to receive Christmas Greetings from the village he loves and did so much for.

On behalf of BEC (Buerton Events for the Community) I would like to say a big thank you to all the Audlem businesses ( and there was many) who generously contributed to our recent Christmas Fayre.

The day was a great success. Thank you so much for your vouchers, all funds, will now go towards providing future events for our local children/Buerton community

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2024

Can anyone recommend a local upholstery cleaner please? Thank you

Thank you Andy for your kind comments. As I convalesce I was suddenly struck by how much time had passed by without any apparent action taking place in this case. Of course, it may be that the parish council has been updated without any public statement being made to us ratepayers. However, with C E threatening to impose car park charges it is now more pressing than ever that we get some answers and hopefully some funds to make progress with the green car park, if our change of use case is successful. If this is published before the pc meeting tonight it would be helpful to our case if the pc throws its FULL WEIGHT behind my letter to the PCC and the MP
I have certainly had a lot of support for my letter from many in the community whom I have met whilst dog walking plus emails.
It is essential that we push our case for swift police action.

That'll be why it's just a rumour then

Hello, just wanted to say what an amazing pub The Bridge is. Sunday lunch was amazing, fresh veg and perfectly cooked beef from the local butchers. Sharon the land lady is the best and why that pub is not packed every Sunday for dinner just amazes me . For less than £10 you get the best roast in Audlem. Also I want to point out that Sharon and Richard have raised thousands of ponds for local charity. Thank you for also looking after locals that don't have others looking after them.

Iwould very much like to congratulate andthank Peter Morgan for stepping into the breach on behalf of us all with an excellent letter expressing our frustrationsat the stagnated effortsto track down and recover the missing funds owned by our community and to identify the responsibility for themis-direction of them in the first place? Peter you have my heartfelt Thank you and a thumping pat on the back!Icertainly couldn't have done better, or even equalled its content or the identified recipients. Let's hope your effortslead to apositive outcome for usall Avery Happy Christmas to you andyour family!Thank You; Andy Smith

The SAFE (Save Audlem's Future Existence) Group, a Group of Audlem volunteers working against Cheshire East's proposal of adding charges to our Car Park, we're looking for a kind volunteer to video and ideally edit the interviewing of a number of members from the village, i.e. private citizens, shop owners... and the impact that the car park charges will have on them.

We need the videos as historical evidence for future use, and for short term use into the media.

Anyone who can help – if you can please contact brian.bugeja@gmail.com

Rumour has it the bridge on Windmill Lane Buerton is closed.

Thanks Geraldine, Peter and Colin
Your replies much appreciated , having looked into the air source looks like will not be great , to be fair to the one installer who got back to me ( left messages with quite a few) they did not try to push it and explained the problems.
After a bit of tlc the boiler is ticking over ,Ellison's were great and came and had a look at what I've got and we have a way forward hopefully in the spring.
Thanks
Simon

I would like to send Ralph a Christmas card as he was so much a part of Audlem Christmas for many years. I know he is in Clarendon Court in Nantwich and just wondered if any one else would like to know where he is to send him Christmas greetings.

Hi Mandy,

Thank you very much for the recommendation. I've made contact with Mitch and will be arranging an appointment soon.

No wonder Cheshire East is in a financial mess.
Since the temporary lights were installed on Green Lane in Aug 2022, they have spent £30,823.92 to end of Nov '23!

They have strimmed some grass / bushes, inspected the hole and paid a contractor a significant sum to manage the lights.
No work has been done to correct the issue itself!

Surely a decent contractor could have fixed it within a couple of weeks and for less than has been spent so far.
At this rate, I suspect they could be looking at a near £100k spend by the time the issue is fixed. Assuming they do actually fix it.
(FOI response with all the figures have been provided to this site.)

And let's not forget the wasted time and extra CO2 from people waiting for non radar lights to change.

Very many congratulations to Joe Sheldon being awarded Citizen of the Year. Joe's generosity has been greatly appreciated giving advice and service, going the extra mile for Buerton Events for the Community (BEC). Thank you Joe, your award is well deserved.

Thanks all. Chair obtained. Much appreciated
