Hello Michelle; When you say 'Green Lane' regarding flooding, do you mean actually on Green Lane or at the Bridge at Swanbach? If it's the former; I have some photographs of the road and on my property during the flooding that might (only 'might' though) help your cause. Either way, good luck with it all...I hope it gets sorted. ;-)
the council tells me that I should not be trying to prevent an accident. they should be doing that. never seen that yet. i did call them and within an hour we had a van arrive to manage the traffic but when i havent raised it there was no-one to organise the traffic. i have sent to audlem online the letter i received. i am guessing the rest of the community are not happy with the very weak response?
We have a 'wildlife pond' which has become choked with plants and would love to restore some clear water. Not massive but would love to enjoy watching insects on the water again and birds being able to drink/bathe. Newts are present and protected. Hope to hear from somebody local who can sort this out for us. Thank you.
Hi I'd like to report of a theft of flowers from my husbands plot.
At long last after much planning and organising we have a meeting planned for Audlem for coal and fracking. With just stop oil and other woke organisations more and more disrupting the lives of normal hard working people we have got together with a few interested locals to arrange our first meeting to be held at the Bridge on the 24th of this month. This is for like minded people to come together and decide a course of action to show that families and normal hard working people with electric bills to pay can have a voice against the woke agenda more and more getting the time in the news please come along if you have had enough of this ridiculous net zero no fossil fuel stupidity that the guardian would have us believe the majority of people want come stand and have a voice before we are to late
We had the great pleasure of yet again enjoying the takeaway pizza from Piccola Italian. Don't look anywhere else if you want a takeaway treat especially pizza it is by some way the best takeaway for miles top produce not just cheap profit oriented rubbish like from a lot of takeaways truly a gem in Audlems crown
House key on key ring with the letter G and a small heart found Saturday morning.
Handed in to Williams Newsagents.
Got plenty of grazing available for a period of time for sheep – plenty of trees for shelter – it is post and rail fencing but can't imagine they would go anywhere with all the grass plus road is dead end

Pair of spectacles found on the canal towpath yesterday.
They are now at Williams the newsagent waiting for owner to collect. Thanks
For Maps side by side...starting with the Tithe Map from 1841, then the first ordnance survey map 1875 to present day.
The tithe maps also show who owned and occupied a plot back then!

Just type in your postcode
Grazing taken. Sorry no longer available.
Many thanks to editor and Geoff for info about access to Leighton Hospital. I successfully used the A530 today, as the blockage is after the A&E turn.
For those interested in old maps, here is a great website where you can select what age map you would like to see and a side by side comparison. There use to be a park near by.

Could Roy Plume's "hole" be the top of a disused well?
I also recommend Haightons – they were recommended to us by friends who use them regularly. I've only used them once for a return trip to Whitchurch. Reliable, friendly, clean & smart, reasonably priced – what's not to like?
Hi
Can anyone recommend a company to jet wash (and de -weed ) a driveway please ?
The editor is correct, I drove that way last week.
As recommended to me, and subsequently used to Manchester airport; Haighton's Taxis – 01270 624574 or 07595 908879. They're based in Nantwich.
Thanks Darren – though I had of heard of it – I had never seen it. Quite a fascinating watch, and strange what passed as entertaining TV in those days ! Lovely to see the Shroppie Fly, Audlem Wharf and Audlem Mill in their 1960's – pre-developed state. The milk boy was fictitious of course. There was also a slightly out of sequence shot of the old railway line in the distance, taken as they moved along the pound below the bottom lock – and later nice shots across the Turnpike fields. Though obviously the still shot of the flight of "Audlem Locks" was inaccurate – I'm sure someone on here will know what flight that actually was though ?
Can anyone recommend a taxi/transfer service with a minibus to and from Manchester Airport please?
Please can anyone tell me which way to drive to Leighton at the moment. The Cheshire East website is totally confusing.
Not sure if anyone remembers a TV series back in the late 60's called the flower of Gloster it starred Richard O'callaghan and Annette Robertson who are travelling by narrow boat from Llangollen to London made by Granada television Audlem is featured on it and also Market Drayton have seen it on YouTube if anyone is interested
Hi , we need to have our oil tank moved , can anyone recommend a local business ?
Many thanks
My Mother had an enormous hornets nest in her garden compost bin (apparently a favourite target if dry) in Coxbank last year. These proved very difficult to deter, but did eventually leave. However, they were a dangerous nuisance to her (92 years old and allergic to bee stings !) and her near neighbours. However, I'm reliably informed they don't come back to a previous nest site. but please be advised to check your garden compost area, and keep it well hydrated, to avoid attracting them in the first place. They have a very nasty sting as unfortunately, one of her neighbours can testify.
A talk on Audlem's history sounds a great idea Celia if this can be arranged at some point. It would certainly benefit newcomers coming to live in Audlem and may even open the eyes of longstanding locals. I'm still learning about the buildings, shops and who lived where and I have known Audlem since 1971! Still a newcomer! There are people in the village that have an absolute wealth of knowledge who may contribute to the talk.
