CEC works are due to take place this week at Little Heath, Cheshire Street to install a 'tactile crossing and footpath', in a bid to improve access for families to school all users. Operatives expect to be on site for the next five days.

The cost of this has been sourced partly from the Audlem Ward Member Budget but mainly via the Pedestrian Crossing Budget.

I have lived in the village for Forty years & how blessed we are to have a shop like William's in the village, I have always found what ever I needed, so on Saturday I thought I will get the better of Judy as I had punctured the tyre on my Wheel barrow, and having missed the closure of the Bike shop, of I went to Judy's and said to her I bet you, you have not got a tyre repair outfit, her reply was how many do you want! so I failed to outsmart her again.

The only shop I know like this is Bunners of Montgomery.

Could anyone tell me what is happening on Littleheath green? Noone seems to know!
I am led to believe that even the Parish Council are not in the know, word has it that work is due to start on Monday.
Will this mean that other urgent jobs will get seen to as well?
I look forward to hearing more!!

Can anyone recommend a carpet cleaning firm please ?

Hi Christine
I saw this Money Saving Expert article last year and thought it might be useful.

Hi, I am seeking someone who is either an expert or perhaps a practitioner in the art of calligraphy who would be willing to offer some tuition in the art.

I am keen to learn the skill and am practising but need some practical advice. I have looked extensively on YouTube which has been useful, and have several books on the subject but I would appreciate getting some practical advice on a one-to-one basis to get me started. I am of course happy to pay for any tuition.

I have sought out courses but there is nothing within a reasonable travelling distance.

I would be grateful for any advice or guidance.

Thank you.

Hi John we have used Express Taxi Service who were recommended to us by friends for Airport transfers. I am sure they have a minibus. Extremely efficient and competitive pricing 01270 666660

Can anyone recommend an airport transfer service for 7 people please.

I'm very sorry to see Audlem lose the bike and running shop, it will be sorely missed. Does anyone know what it's going to be replaced with? I do hope it won't sit empty.

Does anyone know who to contact for the scouts Xmas tree collection? Thank you

Well done to all for leading the way with the fight against parking charges but I fear local views and our valued local businesses are not given enough consideration by those making decisions. Sad the cycle shop is closing, I cant help wonder if parking has played a part? Last couple of times I came through Audlem village its become very tricky with parked cars and lack of visibility. The highways people should be monitoring this on safety grounds surely?

Thank you, Steve Reece for the information. Seems quite reasonable to me. Park there 3 times a week and have dinner in The Lord Combermere and use the butchers and co-op as well as the Bridge. Not a bad price to par my car. Thank you for taking the time to find out the costs.

To everyone in Audlem and District we want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and very
successful and prosperous New Year in 2025.
God Bless you all.

Love your rendition of the S-o- M classic today Judy! Was actually singing along to it (in my head of course!) A great poetic advert for everything in your shop, thank you!

Christmas church services.
Correction
There is no 11:00 am service in St James on the morning of Sunday 22nd. We are focusing on the ecumenical Carol service for all at 6:30pm that evening.

With reference to the audio recording of the following Cheshire East 11th December meeting;

https://moderngov.cheshireeast.gov.uk/ecminutes/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=239&MId=10284

@ 4:35:52, Rachel Bailey asked the Highway Committee of Cheshire East for a quarterly Car Park revenue report (across the whole of Cheshire East).
The response was that 'this is not something that Cheshire East does today, and that they do not see the need for doing it in the future'!

It would be interesting if, within the next 3-to-6 months, if local businesses could assess and back up with data, whether the introduction of car park charges in the village from the 2nd of December, has had an impact on their businesses.

A quick search on BBC about car park charges indicates some widespread opposition to these charges across the country. It remains to be seen whether such charges (or taxation) do in fact impact the (local) economy.

I am upset to see yet another shop leaving our Audlem high street.

I have always have good service in Pau run and ride and will miss having a local bike shop in the area.

Thank you to the team and good luck
