What was once just a shed at the above location (south west corner of junction) seems to have grown recently to include vehicles, trailers and a tent. Also, rubble is being laid down to assist the above with access. Does anyone know if this is a use approved by the owner and the Council?

I am very grateful to the kind person who found my wallet outside the COOP and handed it in. What a contrast to the midnigt hooligans. I feel realy priviledge to live in such a beautiful village populated by such kind and carinfg folkes.

Can I recommend everyone keep a close eye on any cctv and ring doorbells. This unbridled nonsense cannot continue. One of the draws to living to Audlem was to be able to sleep soundly at night rather than worrying about what destruction I was going to wake upto

I'm getting worried about the amount of antisocial behaviour in the village. Will this be addressed by village management?
It's a shame that everyday we are told of a new attack on someone's property

Could this be related to the spate of destruction taking place recently? Audlems midnight menace

Just read in todays Chronicle that local war hero Tom formerly of Swedish houses Hankelow has died. Funeral at Hankelow this Friday 15th at 2.15

Please pop into the chippy and buy a raffle ticket some great easter prizes in aid of the junior football club .Also so people know we also donate our money we raise from our carrier bags to them too x

I think the traffic warden has done his job. There is no parking area outside the toilets, so park properly first. The dropped kerb is there for a reason, helps wheelchair users to cross the road, so ticket well deserved. A lot of people don't think before they park.

I have just had my car valeted and soft top reconditioned superbly well by Matt Bonnell
07780 550803
He is based at Buerton and highly recommended

I would very much appreciate it if the person that removed my house for sale sign, previously situated on the corner of Woore Road and Mount Pleasant, kindly return it at their earliest convenience before the matter is referred to the police. It is the property of my estate agent.

Beware where you park in the village. The traffic warden was active today(Tuesday) – he had issued a ticket to a car, displaying a Blue Badge, parked outside the toilets on the entrance to the car park, When questioned why he had issued the ticket his answer was that the car was not parked in a designated space.
He had also issued a ticket to car parked in Cheshire Street in the designated area – his response to this was that it was blocking the sunken pavement access!
Somewhat over zealous? So if you are thinking of parking in the village do so at your own risk or walk instead!

Martin, try Ellinsons Heating & Plumbing. Details in the 'Directories' but land line is 01270 811883. Pleased with several jobs – including replacement gas boiler – undertaken by Pete & colleagues.

Can anyone recommend a local person who can do a complete valet on my small Suzuki Alto. I was recommended to someone some while ago and they did a wonderful job but despite a thorough search can't find them in my contacts list. Many thanks Patricia

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.
