Hello to all at Audlem on line, I would like to thank Gloria for purchasing one of my handmade bags, unfortunately I do not have an exact replacement but I will be at the Xmas Craft Fayre at the White lion Hankelow on Sunday 15th December from 10-4pm with most of my gift items for Xmas including bags but you can also call me 07340159752 – Merry Christmas to all

I wonder if anyone knows who the lady was selling home made shopping bags on the 23/11 at the public hall Christmas fayre.
I bought one, posted it to my friend and Evri have lost it!
I'd love to buy a replacement if I could
Thank you
Gloria

Just a polite request to people taking pictures of the floods down here at Mill Lane, Swanbach. Please do not include views which take in our garden. I'm sure you, like us, if it was your garden in flood or flower, would class it as an invasion of privacy. Already have had to ask for pictures to be taken down from social media. Please respect our privacy but if you do have advice on "paddy field" cultivation do drop by.

What a lovely tribute to Derek P. A lovely character, an absolute gentleman (unless you crossed him by the sound of it !) and person (or should that be Pearson ?) who will be missed by many in the village. Thank you Mr Martin.

Carl lives 3-4 doors up, his wife Sharon works in the coop.

Curiouser and curiouser, Trevor.

Just wondering why this has been booked as the same evening as Ghost stories in the scout hall+why it's moved from the Thursday or even Wednesday evening which it has been the last few years?

Can anyone tell me when the sewerage system was introduced in Audlem...or, specifically; when it was introduced down Green Lane please
Reason? When my sewage pipe (which runs across the Brook) split in half a few years ago and raw sewage was running into the Brook and consequenlty, into the River Weaver, the Enviroment Agency gentleman tried arguing with me (when he finally turned up after 3 weeks and many phone calls to them) that it was my responsibility as my Dad would have put the pipe in. Two reasons he didn't put the pipe in; 1, it was installed when we bought the place in '68 (1968, not 1868) 2, He didnt put the pipe in as the pipe was already in when we finally moved here in '69! I just about won that argument...but only just.
I thought I'd try and get something in writing this time as I'll be getting in touch with them when this pipe breaks as it's got two huge tree trunks wedged underneath it from the last flood.. and more debris backing up behind (no pun) pretty much daily.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I've been accused of talking cr*p a few times but now, I really am!!!!

Is there a carpet fitter / does anyone know a carpet fitter locally who could refit a carpet following the installation of fitted furniture. The bulk of the carpet is in place but it needs reducing in size to fit the new space. If this could be completed urgently we would appreciate that. Please call me on 07802 554665. Thanks

Geoff. If you go on the ringGo app for Cheshire St car park there is a 30 minute option for 30p .

Hi Mark
Thanks for posting this. Can you email me your address and I will come and collect? beestoncarl1@gmail.com thanks Carl

Does anyone know of a Carl Beeston? Only I've had a letter delivered at my address with his name and my address. I have lived here for 16 years, so obviously he doesn't live here. So if anyone knows who he is, please let me know, so that I can forward this letter to him.
Many thanks.

When the parking charges were approved by Cheshire East, a category of 'up to 30 minutes' was agreed. I have checked and every town and village apart from Audlem and Holmes Chapel has this charge band! Why have we been excluded from this band? Something for the Parish Council and Ward Councillor to take up.

You would think CE would do a more professional job of the Free after 3 notice, instead of a plastic wallet and tie wraps ( which could get ripped off or thought of as a scam)

Tues 3rd 11am. Small apricot dog seen running across Woore Road from Salford to School Lane. I followed it but lost sight of it when it went in to Vicarage Lane.

Be aware that there are fees each time you use the Ringo App for parking.
According to their App, its 7p convenience charge and 15p for Expiry reminder and confirmation SMS text messages.

Ah, the parking meter, a marvel of modern engineering--except when it isn't. Nothing says 'welcome to the future' quite like a state-of-the-art machine proudly displaying completely wrong instructions. Why would anyone want to leave their car to seek change when it clearly doesn't take cash? Kudos to whoever masterminded this masterpiece of confusion. Truly, a beacon of technological progress, if progress is defined as paying for parking while deciphering hieroglyphs.

Put yourself in the position of Cheshire East, a tall order I know, but if you were to choose a location for the pay machine, would you choose to take up a cash generating car parking space ( right outside the medical Centre} or would the obvious place be in the centre of the car park on the cobbled area? Alternatively, the grassed area opposite it's current location if you choose to make people walk to the bottom of car park to pay. But I guess we're lucky it's not sited by the Buttermarket. Just saying...

Great news that we are likely to have a Thai restaurant in the village.

Will the flag be replaced with the Flag of Saint George which should be in situ if any... NOT the Union Flag ? Or is the Church now declassified from Church of England status ?

Based in Adderley we have a AGA oil fired stove which we no longer need and are happy to give it away to any home or business that can use it. Please contact me through via text or call with your contact details and I can forward you some pictures. Stove has 2 hot plates, oil powered. and was working last time it was connected to an oil supply. probably pre dates 1973 so the classic look and design. Buyer needs to organise removal and collection but no monies wanted for the cooker itself. Contact – Ian Bourne 07850261714. Thank you.

How come when I looked at the bookings for Santa on AOL first thing this morning, and only just after the story first appeared on this site, virtually all the slots were already taken? Can bookings be made privately before they are made public? If so, can someone tell me how so I know for future years please!

Thank you for your lovely comments, Emma! We are delighted that you enjoyed the Craft Fair and it was a pleasure to help out with the tiny pot plant crisis! Come back next year!

does anyone have any recommendations for a builder to point the front of our house..thanks

Hi there,
Can anyone point me in the direction of someone to come and fix my stable roofing. The onduline has lifted in the strong winds and has now started to leak in patches. I will replace eventually but need someone who can come and help sort this temporarily for the remainder of the winter.
Many thanks
Lizzie
