Can anyone recommend a roofer who might be able to do some repairs for us?
Specifically, some mortar has fallen out from the pointing on the gable end of the roof and needs to be replaced. The weatherboard needs to be rubbed down and resealed. And finally, there are three broken slates that need to be replaced.
The building is a 2-storey hay barn, with a slate roof.
Thank you!

Hi,
We have just used Craig Hough of CH Plastering who is based in Nantwich. He was absolutely brilliant, prompt, efficient, tidy and did an excellent job re-plastering around a window.

The tree Lucy mentions is a Turkey Oak. It is about 150yrs+ old. Turkey Oaks were brought from the Mediterranean in the 18th-19th century, as a quick growing wood to replace our English Oaks used in ship-building etc. There are three of the species around Turnpike Fields and can be distinguished from the English Oak or the Sessile (Welsh) Oak by having pointed ends to the leaves (some say like Turkey feet). When the trees had grown it was discovered that the wood is no good for ship building as the wood splits easily! In a tree survey in 2019 the tree was described as "An excellent specimen. Single stemmed with a balanced crown. Good vigour and no major visible defects."

Is there anyone local who can get rid of a wasps nest in the eaves at the back of my house

Hi
Can anyone recommend a reliable plasterer please.
Many thanks

I've just been for my weekly Sunday morning stroll whilst walking past beach tree house on Woore road near mount pleasant I've noticed a large number of trees have been removed from the property. I'm sure these trees have tree protection orders on them. Can someone advise on the best people to contact about this. It's horrible to see such beautiful tree removed from anywhere.

Another post to recommend Chris at Paul Jones Pest Control. On day I contacted him, he was willing to attend same evening to deal with a wasp's nest in the eaves of house. We've used him in previous years and he certainly knows his wasps.

Can any tree experts tell me what species the big oak tree is right next to the canal bridge next to turnpike field opposite the bridge inn pub and possibly how old it might be ?it's a monster of a tree have always looked up in awe of this magnificent tree I've read that sessile oak is a much straighter more upright tree than the English oak and is protected ? I've seen a lot of Audlem bigs trees disappear over the years would be very sad if this magnificent specimen would cut down

Hi. Considering a trip to Krakow Poland. Any tips ideas?

Quiet surprised that there has been no comments about the following article on AudlemOnline : https://www.audlem.org/news/cheshire-east-on-car-parking-charges.html

Shaun Walley at Gorsty Garage near to Betley is excellent 01270 820191.

I used Mike Barber of Identify PDR only yesterday (1st September) and can thoroughly recommend him. All details are on his website.

https://www.identifypdr.co.uk/

His email is info@identifypdr.co.uk and his number is 07989 518243

He arrived on time and did a first class job.

Recommend Shaun Walley – Gorsty Hill Autobody Repairs 01270 820191 -- Newcastle Road Batterley (between The Broughton pub and the Wychwood Estate). He is behind the car sales garage.

Can any one recommend a car dent removal / repair company / person. Parked my car in Morisons in Nantwich this morning to do the weekly shop and whilst I was parked someone dented my door in 2 places and just drove off!

Great news well deserved !

Road closed today just past Brine Leas heading in to Nantwich. With the food festival tomorrow too?

The barrier at Salford next to bowling green, was uncollected as of yesterday afternoon.

Congratulations Judy, Brian and all Staff on achieving this prestigious award, you all deserve this for running a wonderful service for the village and its residents. This means very early morning hours for newspapers. I call you the first stop shop.

If its not in stock you will do your utmost to get it for people and always with a smile. Thank you for a great support to the village and anyone passing through here.

Judging by the traffic chaos in the village this is only going to get worse, road closure or no road closure !

3 wasp nests sorted.
2 fully removed and an inaccessible one sprayed.

Thanks Chris at Paul Jones Pest Control.
Especially considering it's a Bank Holiday evening.

Thank you so much for the speedy response which has enabled me to cut the grass and return it to a pleasant green space- much appreciated

I was under the impression that the closure of the Wellington to Nantwich railway line, via Audlem, had been decided on some time before Dr Beeching was involved. Certainly, Audlem (and Market Drayton) station are not included in his report "The Reshaping of British Railways" as stations to be closed. I'm sure someone locally, such as Jeremy Nicholls, will know for sure. But this time, I don't think we can blame Dr Beeching, although it might be popular to do so!

I was lucky enough to be taken to a performance by Flanders and swan, a tremendous duo and so many memorable songs. An evening never to be forgotten.

Appreciate the work is dependent on volunteers but given it's been weeks since the fantastic transport event took place could we have the barriers collected please. The grass cutting contractors are mowing around them.
