As a special Mothers Day treat to myself I booked Del from Blitz Oven Cleaning to come and tackle my least favourite job. Wow, what a transformation, Del virtually dismantled my oven, degreased, cleaned , polished and left no mess at all. He very kindly assured me that it wasn't the worst oven he'd ever seen but he was probably just being polite! I highly recommend his services.

On Thurs evening, on th spur of the moment, we decided to try out the Jan Lek Eatery in what used to be the post office and chocolate shop in Cheshire Street. Who would have thought you could have a restaurant in such a small location? It was friendly and cosy, almost like having a meal in someone's private parlour. The authentc Thai food cooked by the owner's mum was delicious and the whole experience was delightful. If you fancy it, book early as they can only seat fourteen guests!

Recommend Lundie Electrical of Nantwich. They installed our solar panels + battery & vehicle charging point. Nick Lundie is a very knowledgeable & helpful young man. Am happy to show you our set-up. Lundie Electrical have a website.

I'm wondering if the date is right for this iin case people are checking camera's or were witnesses to this incident. It states it happened on the 23rd which in fact was last Sunday so couldn't have happened after school, or on a Wednesday.

Could anyone recommend a reasonable and reliable person/company who install domestic, electric vehicle charging points, please?
Many thanks.

Maureen, re gate fixing, try HUGH PROTHERO 07931526157. He's an excellent carpenter. Geraint

The wooden double gates on my drive need a lot of work on them. Does anybody know of somebody who does that kind of work.

Hello Helen my name is Jody, I live in Buerton and regularly provide pet sitter services for people in the area, if you still need a sitter for your cats please contact me on 07368356229

Whilst I will share details at Audlem Parish Council this evening, just wanted to share what I believe is good news.

A mobile rural Household Waste Recycling Service, which includes Audlem is proposed by CEC.

'The mobile service will operate on a 6 location stop system across a 4 week window with 3/4 hour stop included per location'

The decision will come into force on 27 March, subject to 'call in'; details can be found on the CE website.

I will share further information as it becomes available.

Audlem Ward

Is there anyone out there in the Audlem area who has room in a skip, or knows anyone who does? I've got some soil and rubble (mainly soil) that I need to get rid of and I'd rather give someone a 'contribution' than have to go to Pyms Lane recycling and give Cheshire East money to waste!

Does anyone know a reliable pet sitter? We have two older cats who do not like going in the car and are looking for someone to do house visits.

CEC have notified of 2 way traffic lights, 25 March on Green Lane, to allow a 'Safety Inspection of a Redundant Rail Bridge'.

The inspection is arranged by National Highways as part of its 'Historic Railway Estate'.

Instead of sniping and posting negative comments about our NEW Parish Council, how about showing them some support and respect. They are working hard to move forward and resolve the problems and mess inherited from the previous council. They are volunteering their own time to make Audlem better for everyone so give them time to find their feet or perhaps volunteer yourself to help them as I believe there are some vacancies on the council. I am sure they would welcome you. With regard to the precept I feel it is a small amount to pay to support our village.

How many more times have we got to pay for the losses of previous years ? I was under the impression that we have already paid increases twice to cover these losses and the precept be reduced back to a more normal level. Villagers pockets are not bottomless.
I would have thought the increase in new builds would provide the Parish Council with sufficient additional funding.
Perhaps it is about time the Parish Council stopped being too ambitious and concentrated on basics. Unfortunately the present councillors have inherited a difficult situation but a 12.9% increase is OUTRAGOUS .
Here's hoping this may be the last of such large increases. We can but live in hope or can we ???

Found – Silver chain link bracelet found on the pavement Woore Road. Now at Williams Newsagents waiting to be reunited with the owner

Yes, it is OUTRAGEOUS, or even amazing, how our Parish Council manage to provide the services they do in these inflationary times by limiting the precept increase to only 60 pence per week. As you say Andy, 5 shillings or a crown a week in old money!

According to my maths it's less than five shillings a week, or for those even older than me that's less than a crown!

I'm sure we'll get an explanation though.

Well, I suppose they have got to recoup the best part of £200,000 that they manage to carelessly lose somehow Tim

Just had my new Council Tax bill through. I was expecting an increase relating to inflation. 5% increase from Cheshire East, Fire Services and Police, but 12.9% increase from Audlem Parish Council is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!

I want to send many, many congratulations to all the cast and crew of this fabulous show which we went to see last night! A very impressive first night!
A special mention for Naomi Newman who wrote all the music and conducted the wonderful choir!
I would urge people to go and watch it (on till Saturday at Audlem Methodist Church).

Tim from Astro Aerials in Crewe is highly recommended 01270 850012 /07751 041156

Shower trays developed a leak and needs resealing. Any recommendations on someone who does this work would be appreciated.

Can anyone recommend a local gas engineer to service an Ideal max combi boiler, please?
