Hi my husband and I moved to Audlem last week. I'm looking for a plumber , and a tv ariel man to connect in the loft .
Popped in to Judy's Aladdin's Cave today hoping to get a small light bulb.
There are so many variations these days, but found just what we needed.
It's always wise to try Williams first, as Suzie notes ,
Saves time and money and it's service with a smile.
Thanks Judy .
We needed some polyfiller a couple weeks back – Ian said he'd try Judy's first, then off to B&Q if not. The lad on the counter said he wasn't sure, so he shouted up to husband of Judy, who came down to say 'no, sorry, however, Judy is at the Cash & Carry, I'll message her to get some.'
Not only did she get some, she messaged to say she was back if we needed it right away, thus saving us petrol, time, tyres etc etc. #shoplocal
Audlem Guides collect used printer ink cartridges as part of our fundraising. Then the money raised stays within the village.
Just drop them off in one of our recycling boxes outside Audlem Scout and Guide Hall at any time.
After travelling to Bridgemere, Hobbicraft, Boots and our Coop, I finally found the batteries I needed at Judy's. This small business not only sprinkles a touch of community warmth on every purchase. It's the go-to treasure trove in our neighbourhood!
We have a recycling box for all printer cartridges, used / obsolete / OEM and remanufactured, they are sent for recycling and a donation from the recycling company is given to charity, our chosen charity is SCB (Supported Community Business) based in Crewe who train people with learning difficulties for the world of work and who we have worked with for many years. We are based @ Marshfield Bank in Crewe, near Leighton Hospital, however if you give us a call 01270 842021 and I can supply an Audlem address to drop off if more convenient.

Yes John, dealing with bad parking is a waste of police resouces when there are far more important things for them to be doing. Maybe the reason John Dwyer (PCC) has deemed it necessary to bring in this initiative of public reporting is because he has had his ear bent so many times by people complaining about bad and inconsiderate parking that he has been pressured into taking action. Hopefully, his initiative will ultimately have the desired effect and then resources can be more appropriately deployed.
I have just read Peter Morgan"s article about the parish council meeting and would also like to say that I think it's an excellent piece.
It does appear to be very sad that some of our hard-working councillors have resigned because of the attitude they apparently face.
It seems Audlem is being targeted by an unruly vandal recently. I for one am starting to feel unsafe with this mindless violence taking place. First the scout hall and now turnpike. Is it worth contacting our local PCSO?
Take your point about nuisance behaviour by a few inconsiderate motorists Bob but not sure about the need to involve well paid police officers who I assume have received training for actual crime prevention and detection. With their request of help from the public it would mean that another officer would be reduced to desk bound duties as a traffic warden sifting through photos and handing out penalties. Surely they could be better employed combatting actual crime. I certainly won't be spending my time walking round the village with my camera looking for errant drivers.
Curry's on the retail park in Crewe have a drop off box to recycle printer ink cartridges.
I can highly recommend DUNCAN MEREDITH – DomesticAppliance Engineer – 0796 718 9353 as a very consientious worker.
Does anyone know if anyone locally recycles printer ink cartridges?
Are there any experienced knitters? I've knitted 2 children's cardigans but need help with making up and finishing. The yarns are Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake and Sirdar Snuggly Baby Bamboo.
To answer John Wainright's post: The car in question was blocking ambulance access to Moseley's Yard/Kingbur Place.
John, It is hardly the minlor misdemeanor you say it is when these selfish people who have forgotten what their legs are for and who think that they are above the law, obstruct pavements, force pedestrians to walk in the road, block footpaths for wheelchair users or young mothers with prams, park across the access to people's property or, as often happens, block the entrance to the fire station. I won't go on about the number of times that such behaviour ends up with frustrated drivers mounting the pavement to get past.
Minor misdemeanor? No. Damn nuisance? Every time!
Can anyone recommend someone local who can repair my Beko Condensing Tumble Dryer please. Many thanks. Patricia
What an excellent article by Peter Morgan. It has been evident, particularly over the past twelve months, that there has been a marked negativity towards the Turnpike Field and the activities therein.
Certain members of the Council seem to be against anything that will benefit the community. Hopefully the Council will after the lively meeting realise that the field is for the villagers and is not their fiefdom.
Let's hope we can have some more Parish Council meetings where the views of the community are expressed.
Sending photos to the police of our fellow citizens for committing a minor misdemeanor seems very familiar with the storyline of a George Orwell novel.
Chris Briggs: I'm afraid it's most unlikely that it is a 'one-off'. Vandalism and disturbance are a regular occurence in that alley and, as it is unchallenged, will continue and probably get worse.
Heartehed that someone in CE is prepared to take good quick decisions regaring the walkway inTPf. I suggest this indivisdual is immediately promoted to be in charge of pothole repairs,

The front windscreen of George Beamen's red van opposite the old grammar school has being smashed in, it looks deliberate to me
At tomorrows Parish Council meeting, I notice that councillors are going to discuss, in camera, under Part B 23/180 the continuation and operational procedures of the TFWG Why do our seven councillors feel it necessary to discuss this issue in a closed session when the Turnpike Field is the property of the entire community and of interest to all? This procedure strikes at the heart of open government and smacks of cabal. I urge the council to reconsider and discuss the issue in an open forum.
Peter, It's no use complaining about bad parking on AOL as nothing ever gets done. Send you picture to the police as per the new scheme on reporting bad parking and then you may get a result.
Oh dear, graffiti has been daubed down the side of the scout hall! Let's hope it's just a one off!
