Nigel Mottershead on Road Closure

12th August 2021 @ 9:23pm

Hi Shona,
The one network site says it will last until midnight tomorrow (13th).
BUT.....
Nothing happened today regarding reinstating the surface so it's anyone's guess as usual.
I'll send you a screenshot ...
Nigel.

Lynette hopkins on Departure of Ant our wonderful postman

12th August 2021 @ 8:53pm

It really saddened me today When Ant informed me he will be leaving Audlem by the 26th August
He has always gone above and beyond , he couldn't have been more helpful .it really saddens me that the Royal Mail have such little regard and respect for someone who has done an outstanding job for the past 20 years to be treated In Such a ruthless way . I would like to show my appreciation to him ,I know it's short notice but if anyone else in the village would like to contribute please let me know . Obviously I would want it to be open and transparent so if anyone has any suggestions on how we could do a collection for him please let me know .

Shona Shannon on Road Closure

12th August 2021 @ 6:20pm

Hi
Does anyone have any information on how long the road closure is on Woore Road at the junction with Sandy Lane/Bath Lane? Can't find any info anywhere on Cheshire East website or Audlem and the diversions we're taking are on single track narrow roads in order to access our home which are not ideal when you meet oncoming traffic.
Thanks
Shona

Hello Carol
If you could take a photograph(s) and forward to me at rachel.bailey@cheshireeast.gov.uk and as your local Cheshire East Councillor I will then seek action from Highways.
A issue recently reported to me in another location was addressed, so hopefully this will be repeated!!

12th August 2021 @ 6:19am

The miscanthus or Elephant Grass growing at Tyrley and also many other places in a 15 mile radius of Raleigh Hall, Eccleshall goes to fuel a 2.6 MW generating plant there which is enough to supply all 2,600 homes in Eccleshall.

Regarding household hedges causing an construction on the footpath, I have tried to get the council to press for the clipping back of the conifer type trees on a particular bad bend between Chapel End and Audlem (near to where the garage used to be). I have seen a lady with a pram nearly run over by a car as it is too narrow for modern buggies. The farmers generally do a good job of cutting back hedges but many private residences seem to not care.

I'm looking for someone to fit a cat flap in a UPVC door. Can anyone help? (I live on Mckelvey Way)

Cheshire East Highways are responsible for enforcement but I've had no luck getting them to do anything for the last twelve years at least.

I have seen work being done on the footpaths along the main road North of Hankelow, but not sure who was doing it. Approach Parish council first? Which is Buerton for that stretch. The path has always been narrow-40 years ago I rode on the pavement with my two boys to Buerton school and scared myself silly-only did it once. Requested a 30 mph limit but the response then was it would be unenforceable.

Elizabeth Tellwright on Help in the house

I am looking for a reliable cheerful person to help around the house three mornings a week. Please contact if interested or know of anyone who might be. Audlem area. Thank you Elizabeth

Carol Palin on Obstructions on the highway

May I add to this conversation that obstruction on the highway also causes nuisance to pedestrians.

We have recently moved to Buerton and regularly walk from Windmill Lane along the main Audlem Road to Longhill Lane and back home down Windmill Lane.

The footpath along the Audlem Road is dire. About 100 yards before the right turn into Longhilll Lane the hedges encroach over the whole of the footpath for about 50 yards which causes pedestrians to walk on the road on a blind bend with double white lines.

The heavy traffic, tractors, trailers, heavy goods vehicles are quite frightening and heaven forbid that this sort of traffic is approaching in opposite directions when we have to step off the footpath into the road! Stepping onto the road also occurs where vegetation nettles, brambles, weeds etc., are growing across the footpath too.

The whole of this section of footpath needs attention as most of the hedges and verges encroach onto the footpath to some degree and as boundary hedges are cut the cuttings are left on the footpath eventually breaking down and encroach further each season.

Apart from the above some areas of the footpath surfaces are dangerous – they have been repaired piecemeal and are very uneven and could easily cause a twisted ankle or worse to pedestrians.

Apologies for this rant, not sure who is responsible for ensuring that private owners cut their boundary hedges back to their actual property borders and clearing up the mess, or who is responsible for the state of the footpath surfaces or the excessive vegetation growing over the surfaces.

I can recommend Peter Blurton to service an Aga provided it is not an electric one., which he doesn't service. He is an ex Aga technician wry on his own. We have used him for some years – most helpful and reliable. Phone No. 07540-976874.

Billy Gibbons on Thanks Jessie

I would really appreciate it if anyone recommend a local aga engineer please for my aga.

Norman Huntbach on Obstructions on the highway

Just a reminder to those with roadside properties. Please keep your hedges, trees and bushes cut back within your own boundary and this probably isn't the edge of the green verge as most people mistakenly think. The verge is still part of the highway despite it being unmetalled. Allowing or causing a restriction in the highway width causes dangers for all road users but especially when taller vehicles are involved because to avoid overhanging obstructions the vehicle has to move towards the centre of the road.

bob fousert on Thanks a Lot!

8th August 2021 @ 5:19pm

Could I just say thanks a lot to the person who yesterday caused damage to stone work on the border of my property in Longhill Lane, with either a pretty large agricultural vehicle or its trailer, and failed to stop. (I am guessing this was the cause as there was a swathe of recently cut grass left along the edge of the road and if it had been a car there would have been lots of bits of bodywork to pick up). Thanks a lot too for the re-landscaping of my border and for giving drivers a chance to play dodgems as they tried to avoid the rock and stone debris that you left in the road. Luckily, as far as I am aware, no one was hurt nor cars damaged between the time the damage was caused and the time we found it and cleared up yesterday afternoon.

James McGregor on A Ticket for Parking in a Car Park

8th August 2021 @ 4:18pm

I understand people might not be happy with things that have been done by the parish council in the past but I hardly think the current group of volunteer parish councillors can be held accountable for a decision made 10 years ago by a completely different group of people. We must make sure future decisions are made for the best of the village and not get held up on past mistake that we can do nothing about now. I would like to point out that we have places available on the parish council and would welcome any people who want to make a difference to this wonderful village please do get in touch

Christina Heades on Thank you

8th August 2021 @ 10:14am

Hello, I would like to send a huge thank you to the lovely folk of Buerton. What a lovely surprise, yesterday (Saturday) when Sam from flower divas turned up on my doorstep with a beautiful bouquet of flowers from you all. You are so generous, I am missing you and my chats ( because we all know, I can chat !). I am enjoying my retirement, especially not getting up early. Thank you once again and take care.

Love from Christina x

Mike Hancock on A Ticket for Parking in a Car Park

8th August 2021 @ 9:27am

It is worth reminding readers that the reason the PC do not own and therefore can't manage the car park is because, about 10 years ago now, when they had the opportunity to take ownership of the car park, the playing field and the playground for £1 (you read that right), they procrastinated and didn't proceed. Cheshire East remain owners and charge us for the use of our facilities such as for football. The PC in the main do an excellent job but this wasn't their finest hour and still has consequences now.
