The SAFE (Save Audlem's Future Existence) Group, a Group of Audlem volunteers working against Cheshire East's proposal of adding charges to our Car Park, we're looking for a kind volunteer to video and ideally edit the interviewing of a number of members from the village, i.e. private citizens, shop owners... and the impact that the car park charges will have on them.

We need the videos as historical evidence for future use, and for short term use into the media.

Anyone who can help – if you can please contact brian.bugeja@gmail.com

Rumour has it the bridge on Windmill Lane Buerton is closed.

Thanks Geraldine, Peter and Colin
Your replies much appreciated , having looked into the air source looks like will not be great , to be fair to the one installer who got back to me ( left messages with quite a few) they did not try to push it and explained the problems.
After a bit of tlc the boiler is ticking over ,Ellison's were great and came and had a look at what I've got and we have a way forward hopefully in the spring.
Thanks
Simon

I would like to send Ralph a Christmas card as he was so much a part of Audlem Christmas for many years. I know he is in Clarendon Court in Nantwich and just wondered if any one else would like to know where he is to send him Christmas greetings.

Hi Mandy,

Thank you very much for the recommendation. I've made contact with Mitch and will be arranging an appointment soon.

No wonder Cheshire East is in a financial mess.
Since the temporary lights were installed on Green Lane in Aug 2022, they have spent £30,823.92 to end of Nov '23!

They have strimmed some grass / bushes, inspected the hole and paid a contractor a significant sum to manage the lights.
No work has been done to correct the issue itself!

Surely a decent contractor could have fixed it within a couple of weeks and for less than has been spent so far.
At this rate, I suspect they could be looking at a near £100k spend by the time the issue is fixed. Assuming they do actually fix it.
(FOI response with all the figures have been provided to this site.)

And let's not forget the wasted time and extra CO2 from people waiting for non radar lights to change.

Very many congratulations to Joe Sheldon being awarded Citizen of the Year. Joe's generosity has been greatly appreciated giving advice and service, going the extra mile for Buerton Events for the Community (BEC). Thank you Joe, your award is well deserved.

Thanks all. Chair obtained. Much appreciated

Would the person who may have mistakenly taken my black bin in please return it to Aldelyme Court gates...It has an indented and split lid which is covered in brown parcel tape.

If you could please check your bins as there is a bin with number 5 on awaiting collection.

Hi, does anybody have a wheelchair we could borrow for a few days while my elderly mum is staying with us? Just until the weekend. Thanks

Can anyone recommend anyone who can repair a dishwasher please ?

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to ADAS for the breathtaking Christmas lights display. Your collective efforts in the wind and rain, has turned our village into a magical wonderland! Thank you for spreading so much cheer and making our community shine bright during this festive season. Your hard work has brought smiles to all our faces.

Can anyone recommend a mobile car valeter who serves Audlem? Many thanks.

Cute little cuddly toy found opposite the Co-Op, it was very wet and shivery! Took it Judy (Williams Newsagent) who put it on the radiator so now it's all snuggly and warm.
If it's yours can be collected during opening hours.

We would recommend Ellison's plumbing and heating for your boiler problem. Details on Audlem online Directory/ Business/Home maintenance.

Hi Simon I had an air source heat pump fitted a few years ago by Rural and Country Energy from Chester but to be honest, unless you live in a modern well insulated home I don't think I would recommend one to anyone as the heat they emit is well below that of a boiler.
