Hello Nick. It's not unusual for me to get confused and heres an example of that; The chimney sweep I would recomend is....wait for it....Nick Smith!!!! It's a bit like an episode of The Twilight Zone this is.
He swept my chimney and not only did he do a great job he's very honest and trustworthy too.
Now, my detective skills are about as good as my skills of getting confused so I'm going to deduct that your not Nick Smith. Well, you are I'm sure but not the one that would sweep your chimney otherwise you'd have done it by now probably.
Sadly the number I had for Nick is in my old phone and that's gone off to a far away land to be made into Lego or an electric car or something but I'm sure if you put; 'Nick Smith. Chimney Sweep. Nantwich' in Google he'll come up.
I'm going for a lie down in a dark room.....

Can anyone recommend a local/ish reliable chimney sweep.

The response to the PC about the planning portal complaint from Cheshire East makes no sense whatsoever: "The Support team has checked that the system is working and accepting representations." The date for representation from the public is now closed isn't it? What on earth is this glib fob-off supposed to mean? And many of us have have complained that was certainly not the case during the period when we could respond. I posted onlike and it didn't appear for 3 days giving the impression it wasn't going to, causing me to then have to travel to the council officers to submit a hard copy in person, at my cost (of fuel & parking) & great inconveinience. Many others I have spoken with in the village faced similar frustrations and consequently submitted their comments more than once. So the response does not address the complaints at all. Please can the PC respond by asking for a proper investigation & explanation of the problems we encountered, instead of this swerving-denial?

Many thanks for the suggestions on here and the private ones I've had. Very much appreciated.

Billy.

Hello. Can someone recommend a local, reputable accountant please?
Thanks in advance.

My grandfather (Joe Dutton), great grandfather (George Williams) and great uncle (Alfred C Williams) were very involved in organising the (now defunct) Audlem Flower show. I have a number of photos and also some items from local press coverage. I believe it was, in its heyday day, one of the biggest flower shows in the whole of Cheshire. Happy to show Liz what I have if she arranges to come over to Audlem and calls in at our shop (Williams of Audlem Ltd).

Local cleaner wanted, weekly, 2 hours.Days and times flexible. General cleaning with occasional "blitz". Just on edge of village.

I’m looking to find essentially a “ lap top doctor”. Suspect I just need an hour or so of someone’s time to help sort out my current laptop problems and potentially decide whether a not the purchase of a new one is needed. My usual gentleman has closed his shop. Many thanks

Quick reminder that anyone looking after someone is very welcome at ADCA’s carers group, 10.30 at the public hall annex, coffee, cake and sympathy/ help all for £3.

Georgina, try Eastfield Joinery 01270 664769.

We are looking for a Glazier to repair a number of double glazed units and replace some of the wooden beading which is rotted. Any recommendations?

Avoid cutting hedges between March and August, as this is the primary nesting season for birds and is often restricted by law to protect wildlife. It is also advised not to trim during extreme weather, such as heavy frost, severe drought, or intense heat, which can damage the plant.Key Times to Avoid Cutting Hedges:March – August (Nesting Season): It is illegal in the UK to intentionally damage or destroy active bird nests, making this the most crucial period to avoid pruning.Spring Growth Phase: Cutting too early in spring can cut off new growth and disturb nesting wildlife.Extreme Weather: Avoid cutting in hot, dry weather to prevent scorching, or during freezing temperatures, which can damage exposed stems.Berry-Bearing Season (Late Autumn): While birds are safe from nesting disturbance, avoiding heavy cuts allows birds, such as fieldfares, to eat berries that help them survive the winter.

Many will now know of the United Utilities water main replacement down Woore Road into the village. Last night water supplies were interrupted again by a large burst which, according to the workman I spoke to this morning, was repaired only to burst again, resulting in a large volume of water running down into Mount Pleasant. The work involves sleeving the old main with a new plastic one inserted inside the old pipe. The multiple holes are necessary for new connections to be made to the properties. Yesterday afternoon we experienced liquid mud running from our taps and grit affecting one of the toilet fittings, resulting in persistent overflow problems. We have not used the dishwasher or washing machine until the remaining work is completed for risk of damage. As we appear to be one of the first areas in the village to have our water main renewed, I thought it might be helpful to let others know what they may shortly experience. It’s a situation of short-term pain for long term gain.
Salford is scheduled for an open trench on Friday as they renew our smaller main supply, which has been subject to multiple bursts over the last three decades or more. Good to see that U.U. are finally getting to grips with the problem, but don't expect any road closed signs until next month!

Following a traffic collision, the bridge it will be closed overnight to allow the placement of 'temporary concrete safety barriers' in view of damage to the safety barrier.

Thank you to residents who have taken the time to check this matter out with CE Highways.

I have also had a response now, and it appears that CE Highways were unaware of the sign being erected; apparently it relates to already completed works, carried out at the end of March and as such was not authorised.

I understand that the responsible organisation are being asked to remove the offending sign as soon as possible.

I hope to be in touch again soon, once I receive response to my remaining road closure queries.
