Hello, can anyone please recommend someone to put new insulation in my roof space. The old fibre glass needs removing. It is an old semi-detatched property. Thank you

A friend of mine needs a lintel fitting over an upstairs window. Any recommendations, please? Name / contact No.

Hello Nick. I did reply on here to your first request and recommended a chap from Nantwich called Nick Smith but I didn't have his number. I have since found out that Nick no longer is in the business. A friend told me about EW Chimney Services from Nantwich. 01270 627319 but I personally haven't used them as yet.

I recommend Martin Williams of Haycocks Chimney Sweeps.

He understands wood burners too.

Who is responsible for sweeping the very narrow pavement from Hollybank to Copthorne? Cheshire East or Parish Council. No response from later.

Hi
Can anyone recommend a chimney sweep please. I have a wood burner and live in Audlem.

Would Audlem Theatre co or ADAS be interested in a mirror, floor standing, oak surround for their productions / costume changes?

As ever, Trooping of the Colour was a spectacular event last Saturday and it has been extra special these last few years to see our local lad, Paul Collis-Smith conducting the Household Cavalry Band whilst navigating his horse using only his knees. Many congratulations Paul on your promotion to Lt Colonel and command of the massed bands in London. Of course, knowing the musical talents of your mother Jenny and the organizational capabilities of your father, Mark (those scout camp expeditions will never be forgotten) it comes as little surprise to those who have lived in the village for the last half century or so, that Paul has achieved so much. But not forgetting the talents of his brother and sisters who have also made a positive contribution to society, it’s just that the uniform appealed to Paul and the horse does all the walking!

They had been coming to our garden numerous times a day over the last few weeks, one time we had three of them at once. I haven't seen them for a couple of days now....... I guess my B&M fatballs are no longer good enough.

Love the photos. The way to recognise them is that the youngsters (this year's fledglings) have the red cap on top of their head. The adult males are brightly coloured and have a red spot on the back of their head and the adult females have the same colouring as the males but somewhat duller and no red spot on their heads. We always lo ok forward to this time of year when wehave a regular brood with up to 5 young on good years.

I agree Roy, Greater Spotted Woodpeckers are lovely birds, however, I think the picture you've submitted is of one of this years youngsters.

Male Greater Spotted Woodpeckers have a crimson spot on the back of the head, whereas juveniles have the red spot on the crown along with duller white plumage.

I wonder if Tits take exception to them as they will predate on their youngsters I believe.

All sorted now folks. ;-)

Thanks.
Billy.

I use Danny Fallows – he comes around approx. every six weeks.

Being a short person, almost all of my clothes need to be shortened – I have used Sevi/Michelle at Audlem Dry Cleaners for the last ten years of living here. Highly recommend them.

Hi Margaret, I haven't got any contact details for you. You can ring me on 7967 884585. Thanks Dylan

Hello everyone,
Can anyone recommend someone they have used to shorten curtains?

Thanks very much

I have used Mick Manley Scrapman 07594 483531 he is happy to come to the village and area very honest and trustworthy.

I walk my dog every morning on the Turnpike field. In recent times the grass cutting regime has changed. When the field is wet (most of the time with morning dew or rain) it has become very unpleasant. Has a decision been takento allow the field to develop into a wildflower meadow of some kind? If so, this will be interrupted periodically by the need to allow cars on to the field for special events. Is this a cost issue? I would be happy to pay a small amount each year to the Parish Council to keep the grass low for walkers. I would be grateful if anyone has any light to shed on this..

Hi . Dylan if you could contact me through my email and I will be in touch with you. Sorry for the delay in replying have been away,

ATTENTION I have just come back from taking my dog a walk on the playing field and there are broken glass bottles around the area near the tennis club I have-picked a lot of it up but I’m sure there will be more , so take care of your kids and dogs !

Hi , does anyone know of a local scrap man ( or woman ) or somebody with a van who could take away an old BBQ, patio heater and fridge ?
Thanks , Jill
