Do anyone know when Green Lane will reopen. It took me over 1 hours to find an alternative route to Market Drayton on Wednesday.

I've noticed a drop in numbers visiting this Spring and Summer compared to last year, but still at least 2 per night.
I've not noticed any road casualties during this period.

A several (3+?) year wait and tens of thousands of pounds* of taxpayers' money spent on temporary traffic lights and this is the solution?
This all started when a lorry went off the A529 and down the embankment.

Response to Freedom of Information request:
As at 17/10/22 £70,048.55 had been spent on installing and maintaining the traffic lights, with an ongoing cost at that date of £375 per week!

My dog found something in the garden to roll in that looked suspiciously like it had come from a hedgehog. Time to get the wildlife camera out.

I found a Hedgehog trying to drink from our pond at lunchtime today, I put a large plant pot saucer of water next to it and a small amount of wet dog food. After leaving it alone for about 15 minutes, I went back and it had gone , it had knocked a little of the food off the plate so it must have tried to eat a bit of it. There was no sign of it around the garden. I will keep an eye out for it later, we do have one that is a regular visitor so they could be one and the same.

Rather worryingly I've observed a large drop in the number of hedgehogs visiting my garden over the last two weeks, has anyone else experienced the same? Or has anyone noticed hedgehog road casualties around?

Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.

I think it's good we have no Ukrainian flags this time. I'm obviously fully supportive of Ukraine but I feel personally it's nice to just have the British flags up in the village

I have just noticed that there are no Ukrainian flags out this time. Who decided they should be flown last year and who decided they should not be flown this year?

We have had Paul Threadgold 07960451573 on more than one occasion to fix roofing and guttering problems and can fully recommend him – prompt to respond, good work and reasonable pricing.

Thanks for cheering me up.

Can any one recommend someone local who can clean out one piece of gutter and down spout at my property just outside Audlem. The guttering will probably require replacing sooner than later so there would be that work to carry out in due course.

Try : Haighton's Taxis – 01270 624574 or 07595 908879. They're based in Nantwich.

Try Haightons from Nantwich, have used them on many occasions including to Manchester airport. Always been reliable.

Carol Morgan, have a look at the below link for taxi`s to Manchester Airport, alternatively, search Chatbox topics for Airport Transfer Service.

Hope this helps.

Audlem Community SpeedWatch are asking for volunteers to assist with monitoring the speed of vehicles entering and leaving Audlem. The time involved is an hour a week. Have you got time to assist to lower vehicle speed within our village? The more volunteers we have then it will not take long before the internet informs vehicle drivers to watch out as you are entering a village which does not tolerate vehicles entering and leaving above the recognised Speed Limit of 30 mph.
I have been asked why The Parish Council does not encourage more 30mph signs. The reason is straightforward. It is illegal for Audlem Parish Council to place 30mph signs within a street lighted zone.
We have recorded more then 300 vehicles entering and leaving Audlem between 2-3pm which will only increase year by year.
Audlem is a village which does not have any SIDs (Speed Indicator Devises). We must be one of the few villages within Cheshire that does not have any SIDs. Another tool to assist to reduce speeds within Audlem.
Should you wish to discuss to become a volunteer please phone me on 07377623993 or e-mail me on gmacbrown@hotmail.com
Many thanks.

Morning – could anyone recommend a taxi company to take us to Manchester Airport please?

Great to see the Lord Combemere in opening again.

Nantwich Tailoring on Hospital Street , just had my suit altered, very pleased with the changes.

Kitty of Kitty's Clothing Alterations is excellent. 4 Oatmarket, Nantwich. Tel 07492 367893.

Thanks everyone for the advice. Cartridges successfully dropped off today.

In view of the roadworks at the hospital, can anyone advise on the best route to the hospital main entrance from Audlem Thanks

I'm asking this more in hope than in expectation, but if anyone has any photos of the old railway bridge and immediately surrounding area, when it was still in place, please would you contact me on brucem888@btinternet.com.

The response to my last request regarding flooding on Green Lane at this point has been disappointing: only one response, although that was very helpful.

You could either contact the Guides on Facebook or if like me you aren't on Facebook they are currently meeting at 7.15pm on Tuesdays at the playing field, maybe you could drop them off there?
