Is anyone in coxbamk having trouble with Vodafone?

I’ve reported the damage to the stone bridge at Salford on the A525 opposite Heathfield Road on the School Lane side. Highways will attend to assess the damage etc. There is loose masonry so be careful when passing.

The current book box was set up by Becky who used to live in Fox Cottage. I suppose you could ask Jane who owns the cottage and lives there now if she would be agreeable. Hope this is of some help to you.

Hi Rosemary
I can recommend Bill Plant my grandson had his lessons with this driving school.

Hello Christine. I know someone who may be able to help. If you contact me through Audlem Online I can pass the details on.

I'm looking for someone to cut small lawns front and back in Stapley. Would have to own a petrol lawn mower as there is no outside electrical access. I'm asking for my Son who is in the process of selling the house.

Hi all!
I wanted to ask if anyone would be interested in a second book box next to the existing one. I wanted to make it more organised with one box being fiction and the other non-fiction.
I don't know who put it together or whether I will need permission to make another and place it next to the current one.
Any information on who I need to talk to would be much appreciated ?'?

Hi
Can anyone recommend someone to come to Audlem to re-point my chimney.
Thanks

In response to Graham's comments about the hedge on Green Lane, I can clarify one point that he makes. As the then Chair of the Parish Council, rather than be 'heavy handed' and involve Cheshire East, I spoke with the owner and asked him to cut the hedge back. A few days later it was. I also adopted the same tactic with the owner of the hedge going down Whitchurch Road, with the same result. Perhaps the 'newly formed' Parish Council could adopt the same light touch with their residents.

I'm on Green Lane but in the 'middle' so to speak. I cut my hedge back at the risk of being shouted at on a few occasions but this seems a good time to let the people know who have voiced their opinion while driving past rather than stopping and telling me what they think of me (thus giving ME a chance to let them know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it) I'm trimming the road side of my hedge for a couple of reasons; 1, so that people walking don't have to walk on the actual road itself. It's dangerous enough on the pavement sometimes and that brings me on to; 2, it's also to give me a fighting chance of seeing the vehicles approaching as I exit my driveway in my car. To that end I had thought of installing a High-Tech, Supersonic, 21st Century Atomic Early Warning System to inform me of oncoming vehicles but my pension won't quite stretch to that.....
Anyway; that's why I appear to be cutting my hedge rather than trimming it back for safety reasons.
I thank you.

Sadly, the problem of narrowed pavements due to overhanging vegetation is not restricted to Whitchurch Road
The village end of Green Lane has a severely restricted and dangerous section of pavement in front of one particular property
This, to my knowledge has been like that and only rectified a few times by the property owner. Cheshire East have been informed several times and this was the only time any cutting back was done
Can these inconsiderate property owners not see the dangers they create?
Maybe Audlem online could start a “photo” record to shame these people in to action?

The Parish Council has been informed that the path from Hollybank to Copthorne Drive is becoming increasingly difficult to navigate due to overgrown hedges and debris. This has been reported to Cheshire East and a Highways Officer has served hedge and tree notices on several of the adjacent properties, requesting that they cut back the vegetation where it is encroaching into the footway. The debris along the footway has also been reported directly to the street cleansing team for their attention.

The local Highways officer will re-visit and monitor the site.

The Parish Council Lengthsman empties the bins in the village and has had an increase in hours to help keep the village centre tidy. However, clearing roads and paths, cutting hedges, and gully cleaning is the responsibility of Cheshire East Council, so if anyone comes across a hedge that needs cutting back, or any other highways issues, please use the Cheshire East TrACE system to report this at https://trace.cheshireeast.gov.uk/

For help and support is using TrACE please see this link on the Parish Council website: https://www.audlemparishcouncil.gov.uk/community/audlem-parish-council-21011/highways/

The Parish Council is grateful to residents for reaching out and reporting any concerns. If you have any further queries regarding any issues in the village please contact the Parish Clerk at clerk@audlemparishcouncil.gov.uk

The encroaching vegetation is the responsibility of the landowner. You will find the same all around the area where neglectful householders refuse to keep their hedges within their own residential boundary, thus causing inconvenience, expense, and even danger for users of the public highway.

Can anyone recommend a learner driver school, for a 17 year old youth.

The pavement is very narrow, covered in debris and has overhanging vegetation such that it is treacherous to use it.
Furthermore the street lights are obscured by trees, especially now in the leaf growing season so that in the dark most of it is unlit.
It is risky to step out into the road as it is a busy A road with limited vision.
I have reported these issues on Fix My Street and to the Parish Council so we can but hope!

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.
