Hi, can anyone recommend a carpet/upholstery cleaner please?

I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to the lovely people in the village who showed such kindness when my dog Jasper was fatally hit by a car in the village on Wednesday 14th Jan. People looked after me and my dog when I was obviously very distressed and didn’t know what to do. The kindness of people never ceases to amaze me. Thank you x

I agree the new reporting method is tricky. I couldn't find how to put the place of the pothole in with a 'dropped pin'
But there is another way, offered on the opening page for contacting CE – a phone number. It might take a while to be answered, and then passed to 'Highways', but the person answering this was very helpful. By giving more details, and being able to explain more fully, prevented misunderstandings.
I was also able to report a street light not working and a few other problems. Time will tell when they get repaired, but at least they have been logged.

We suggest trying https://causes.coop.co.uk/to find
local causes , ADCA is near the top of the list after login with your Coop membership credentials. Hope that helps

Like you Karen I hadn't realised that the clothes bank had gone from Audlem. I have no idea when or if it will re-appear.
However there is a Salvation Army clothes bank in Whitchurch near Tesco's.
It isn't in the car park immediately adjacent to the store but is in the extra car park just across the road leading to the baths.
At least an alternative hopefully in the short term.

Does anyone know how to post on Audlem Life? I've tried 3 times to no avail re there being spaces at Audlem Brownies but it's a no-go.. I don't know who edits it but I've had no communication.

Does anyone know if we're having a clothes bank returning to the carpark please?

FYI – be careful near the road that goes from Shropshire Street down to the Shroppie Fly. A car has shed its oil to a point where the potholes are filled up, this is then being dragged out onto the main public highway.

Highways have been informed.

Note to Phillip Baker (ADCA) – I would be very happy to cast a vote for ADCA for all the good work you do but I emailed you using the link in your article on AOL and it bounced. Is there a typo in that link? I was asking how to vote for ADCA. Do you have to go into the Co-op to do it?

The roads in and around Audlem are in a shocking state and they’re getting worse not better.
The council will not do anything unless we report the issues.
So, EVERY road defect needs to be reported.

Cheshire East recently changed the tool used to report potholes. You now need to use:
https://trace.cheshireeast.gov.uk/
I may be cynical, but this site is more cumbersome to use than the older method.
Plus issues reported under the old system have not been moved across. So, currently it appears there are few issues.
I have no idea how this is progress, but it's Cheshire East we're talking about!

PLEASE REPORT EVERY DEFECT.

I've just spoken to a man from the Highways Dept. He said Broadways will have all the drains jetted on 29th January and the road will be closed for the day.

So they're going to tart it up and wreck it by putting 2 large TV's in it. Does this mean the existing management will be leaving?

How many times do we need to keep putting our black bins out in the Hope they will eventually be collected?
The village has bins all over the place. I gave up then decided to try once more this morning…

I can recommend a carpet fitter named Martin. He was prompt, efficient and did a really good job. Contact number 07778 550469.

Hi everyone. Bit of a long shot but is there anyone out there who is familiar with the Substack blog site? I’m trying to set up and send my first blog but I’m having difficulty in learning how to do it. Tried YouTube and am no wiser. Would appreciate a hands-on demonstration if possible. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Can anyone recommend a carpet fitter in the area?

Looking for friendly local cleaner. Days and times flexible.

Can anyone recommend a damp course specialist please? Ours appears to have failed, which we only discovered having redecorated a room over 2 days.

Only since mid December there has been dog mess appearing on the narrow bit of pavement alongside the sloping wall between Moorsfield Avenue and Tollgate Drive. This is now a regular occurrence and is very difficult for pedestrians to avoid it without going into the road.
I would ask the person responsible to pick up the mess so that we can safely walk along the pavement.
