A red Labrador was seen running across Heathfield Road and up Mill Lane this morning, think it was a male dog and wearing a collar. The dog looked very thin and scared, there has been a similar or the same Labrador running around the village on numerous occasions over last few months. Does anyone know anything about this dog ?

We recently had Huw Protheroe to fit 7 new internal doors. He did an excellent and very clean job, and he lives in Audlem. Phone 07931 526157

Thanks for the link to the above planning application, I hope this will help people to join me in supporting this venture. Good luck to this local family who have provided employment for Audlem people for years and will bring even more jobs and business to the area with this wedding venue.

@ Paul Cawood – I have no idea what proportion of tractors can speed (the reference to speeding is in the topic title that I replied to, there was no reference to speeding in my earlier comments). The bigger issue is the inconsiderate and dangerous way that SOME of these agricultural vehicles are driven. For example, 25mph in a 3 tonne tractor and trailer around a blind bend on Longhill Lane with a mobile phone glued to your ear is (in my perception) not a particularly considerate or safe way to interact with other road users.

@Andrew Carr, noted. Though what proportion of tractors can "speed" ? The vast majority cannot exceed 25mph / 40kph so how slowly would you like them to go ? They pose no more risk than the HGV's that transit through the village, and cannot go as fast, so perception seems to be relevant.

A small number of the closest households/businesses received a consultation letter on Friday but this may be of wider interest, hence this post. Closing date for comments 4th August 2021.

@Paul Cawood – It's not the "normal" movement of tractors and associated machinery that is considered to be a threat – it is the abnormal and irresponsible way that some of these vehicles are driven that is the issue. Nobody is suggesting that ALL of the vehicles are driven badly or dangerously, but clearly there are a (hopefully small) proportion of drivers who creat the problems that continue to be reported via this website. To make village and rural life in the area tolerable (and infinitely safer) the shift in perception needs to take place in the minds of those drivers.

Hi Dave I have messaged you on FB
My grandson has lost one I have stated which ear .

Re "speeding" agricultural vehicles. We live in a village that thrives because of the agricultural community and those of us that work in it. It's sad that the normal movement of tractors and spreaders is perceived as being a threat. This is a necessary part of the working day in the agricultural world. I would suggest a shift in perception will make life in the village more tolerable.

So the geniuses at Shropshire Highways have advised that 2+ yrs on the works have been delayed.
Where would we all be without these informative public servants?

How smart and tidy is our village after Neil and his teams efforts yesterday. Couldn't help thinking perhaps a good place for the 20 year olds to volunteer for Neil's team . Be a good start for them . I'm sure Neil and his team would make them welcome.

Hello Sheila, thanks so much, will drop them off Saturday.

Yesterday about 5 pm I was walking along Cheshire Street near Heathfield Green towards the shops where the pavement is narrow. A large green tractor came hurtling towards me towing a muck spreader and clods of earth and goodness knows what were being thrown out in all directions. I wasn't hit by anything miraculously but was very shaken. I turned to see the number plate but it was obscured by mud. Pedestrians in the middle of a village should not be threatened in this way by speeding agricultural vehicles.

The chequered flag might be out, but I have noticed that several tractor drivers are on their mobile phones obviously checking race strategy with their bases! Formula 1 tactics have arrived.

Marilyn, Thank you for your enquiry re charity shop opening times. At present we are only open on Saturdays (weather permitting) from 10-4 and we will happily accept donations between those hours. Due to lack of space, we cannot accept large items of furniture I'm afraid.

I Agee with all the comments. I live on Longhill Lane and have bought a checkered flag so that the tractors, lorries and cars can get an indication of what position they are in the race

Hi I found an AirPod near the canal bridge near the bridge pub, let me know on this chat if it's yours and I'll get it to you ( I can only imagine how irritating it must be to loose one AirPod!)
