Very Surprised that I seem to be the first to answer your request. The famous Ice Cream Shop was Beaman's at that time probably operated by Mrs Beaman assisted by her equally famous son George!! who continued the tradition until retirement(I believe) when the premises and recipe was taken on by Alg Halliwell and his wife? and part of it was turned into what is now The Priest's Hole This information comes from a faulty memory, so is subject to correction and/or enlargement.
I was a regular visitor to Mrs Beaman's as a child en route to ,or returning home, from school at the old primary school on Cheshire Street!!I still miss the thrill of a Beamans' cornet with raspberry sauce topping?

As I understand it, APC, after discussions with their planning consultant, decided to still allow this major village event to still go ahead as previously approved. Considering that Fete's/Shows have been held on this field since 1911, there's a well established precedent!

Hi all village date looks like it's going to be a great event and day out for my kids. However I'm just wondering what happened about events being cancelled on turnpike have they had special permission granted?

Well Done Paul for getting into the Top 10 Worldwide Elvis tribute artists – our daughter will never forget him playing as the surprise act at her wedding reception – this was just after he'd come 6th worldwide!!

Hi, I am looking for a dog lover to help me with my small border collie dog. Neville is 15 months and due to my daughter having a baby and the need for me to spent more time over in the Peaks, I need somewhere where he can stay during the day whilst my husband is at work. This would be on an adoc basis so may suit someone who is retired? Or I would consider dog share for the right person. For more info Please give me a call 07766201027 Thank you, I live in Buerton

Sorry to report Paul did not win ar Graceland.Led to believe a home town decision again .

We are staying near Audlem, 60 years ago it wasn't unusual to go to Audlem for an ice cream, from a small shop just opposite the church in the centre of the village. We thought it was the best ice cream in the world! I can't remember the name of it but possibly began with a 'B' and was very well known? Would be interested to know what became of it Thanks

The timeline of this issue goes back to the days when local authorities provided the ubiquitous Dialek plastic rat magnets to assist homeowners to compost their green waste. This I'm guessing is about 20 years ago. Having already built our own compost bins, we rejected the offer. We then invested in a substantial chipper/shredder to deal with our waste and aid in composting it. When the offer of free green waste bins came along, again at the expense of those of us who had already made adequate provision for green waste, we had no need to take up the offer, but we were involuntarily contributing to the cost of paying for the free service enjoyed by others. Now, at long last, the council is grasping the harsh nettle of reality and is imposing a hopefully realistic charge for this service previously subsidized by those of us who have invested in their own arrangements.
An alternative point of view.

Excellent news!! He came 6th last time – not bad eh1. Good luck Paul!

Just read that the Navio lounge in the old Barclays Bank in Nantwich is donating 20p to the centre for every coffee sold in their first month open. Worth popping in?

Alg and Jane retired some months ago and the new man could not make a go of it. The owner of the property says there are no plans to reopen the cafe again soon. It would not be good to let someone take the cafe on in the expectation that it would provide him or her with a living and then find that it does not do so.
An ideal tenant would be someone who had an independent income, just wanted a cafe for the lifestyle, and would not be bothered whether it made a profit or a loss.

To answer Suzie Warren, if it comes to pass a charge is implemented you either want the service or not, and so your questions become irrelevant

I have it on good authority Paul is now in the final at Graceland

How will they (the bin crews) know who has paid and who hasn't?
And assuming they have a spreadsheet in their cab showing payers – will they drive past the non-payers?
Will they collect all the current bins and issue, say, shiny purple ones for the payers?
So many questions.

In reply to Geoff Oakes problem, The best and most humane way is to simply buy yourself a box of Mothballs. Uncover each molehill to expose the channel, drop a few mothballs into the area and recover with the loose soil. You will not see the moles again.
It has always worked for me and you are not killing any moles. Simples !!

Geoff – I can recommend: https://nantwichmolecatcher.co.uk/

Well done Rachel – thank you for all the work you do for our Parish. We have been so lucky to have you diligently working (and often fighting) to improve things for the Audlem area, over the years. Never one to blow your own trumpet – I will blow it for you !

Can anyone recommend a local mole catcher as yet again my moles are back! There is no mention of anyone who provides this service in the directories section of AOL. Thanks!

Thank you Councillor Bailey for your efforts which challenges the ridiculous decision to impose charges for the emptying of the green bins. So I assume that if we choose not to pay the charge we put waste food and roots and branches in the black bin. Hopefully sense will prevail but there does not seem to be much of that in Cheshire East Council.

Can anyone tell me if The Priest House is opening again as I have been twice and it has a notice saying closed but does not state a day to reopen?

Thank you Councillor Bailey for your efforts.

I am surprised that you are not following Paul Larcombes progress in the States : through to semi final later today I believe. A great and pleasant village character.

It beggars belief that East Cheshire Council is condoning the cost of sending out a green waste lorry to pick up less green waste due to many people, quite rightly, refusing to pay the charge. Even more bewildering that they could possibly send a lorry all the way down a road to pick up just one bin belonging to someone who has decided to pay this levy.. Yet more waste of public money, and even more reduced service. Utter madness!

The less standardised message from Terracycle also states that the cost of recycling the blister packs is greater than the worth of the products it generates. Ultimately I suppose it is the big pharmaceutical companies who are to blame. (And the world is controlled by money.)

Yes Kay a kind friend took a large carrier bag of mine there and they took them but that may have triggered the response that in future it would only be small amounts. Checked Shrewsbury and as they do not have a pharmacy dept there they don't. Wonder why Boots does not set an example?
