I read this piece with a wry smile, being of an age where this might be applicable. Is there a physical blue box? Possibly as it contains a ‘tablet’ but my image of a ‘toolkit’ and ‘tools’ is probably not what they mean! As to the ‘cloud system’ well i am not sure how my hammers and screwdrivers get up in the air!

Mike – try www.audlemfestival.live and scroll down to Contact Us.

Definitely use Flower Divas. Great florist – and also a great supporter of the village – eg the Audlem School Children's Garden

Hello, Can anyone recommend a flooring specialist/tiler to cover an old tongue and grooved sitting room floor, please? Many thanks, Bob

Flower Divas are amazing- I have personal experience of funeral flowers and they went above and beyond in every way.

Trying to get in touch with the organiser of the Makers Market at Kingbur Mill during the Festival so we can book a stall if possible. Anybody got any ideas?

You can’t go wrong with Audlem’s Flower Divas our very own award winning florist.

Can anyone recommend a good florist who does funeral flowers?

This year the Village fete will be on August 30 th 12.00. On the playing field

Hi,

Could you please tell me on what date the Audlem Village Fete will be held in 2026 (like the one held on 30th August last year).

We can't find any information on it from Google.

Thanks,

Mel Barnes

It Isn't, and hasn't been for at least 2 days despite there being ROAD CLOSED signs, on The Square, by Heathfield Rd bridge, at the top of Paddock Lane, at the bottom of Paddock Lane, at the bottom of Kettle Lane and in 3 different places on the Woore Road as you approach Audlem (2 of which force you onto the wrong side of the road on a bend. That's 8 sets of signs set down by our brilliant council, doing nothing but causing chaos. I wonder how many of our wonderful councillors are on £100,000 plus, as per the Jeremy Vine show article yesterday.

Anyone know where the Woore Rd closure indicted by the Parish Church is actually blocked?

Hi, I believe Miss Susan Grange moved with her folks to the west side of Audlem.

It is her birthday week this week.

If you know Susan please wish her Happy Birthday o my behalf. I worked with her whilst as a volunteer at the Beech Tree Community Centre in Whitchurch.

I know she does not drive so might appreciate a Birthday Greeting in passing if you know her know of her.

Lots of love Susan, 🍰

Reported by Chris Briggs
At the PC meeting last night it was reported that CPS have given the police the authority to bring charges against two suspected individuals over the missing APC monies.

The problem with the road from Moorsfield and the Canal Bridge is that it represents a danger everyday, NOT just at Christmas. With the ever increasing traffic and in particular HGV and large vehicles it seems an accident waiting to happen. This pavement over the Canal Bridge is just 14 inches wide and uneven, and it is very easy to slip into the road. In fact many pedestrians walk on the road itself which is a danger.
The sloping pavement from Moorsfield is another big problem. We have already had an incident where a mobility scooter tipped into the road on this section, landing on top of the elderly resident. Fortunately the traffic both ways managed to stop in time to prevent a tragedy.
These photos are of real situations that happen frequently along this stretch, as anyone who lives this side of the canal will verify.
