Highways Team Apprentices

A recent press release from Cheshire East...

You're hired! – Cheshire East Council has welcomed its latest apprentice recruits to its high-flying highways team

A record number of 11 young people attended their induction at Brunswick Wharf as the third and latest group of apprentices with Cheshire East Highways. This year's apprentices, who range from the age of 16 to over 21, will see three employed in highway maintenance, three in civil engineering, two in business administration, one in finance, one in quantity surveying and one in street lighting.

Ringway Jacobs' managing director Mike Notman said: "I'm delighted that we continue to bring in young talent into our organisation, developing the skills and experience needed for the long-term success of our business."

All very commendable, but....

....what Audlem residents want to know is when the appalling pavement outside the Post Office in Stafford Street is going to be repaired. Cheshire East have done a good job on several of the other pavements in the centre of the village, but this particular stretch, much used by elderly and infirm residents to get to the Post Office, has been left out. This in spite of repeated notifications of its dangerous condition.

Perhaps the new apprentices could use it as their first training exercise?
