An absolutely brilliant video and informative commentary! Not only a glorious clanging triumph, but you've also spared future generations the awkward task of trying to describe the sound of Audlem's bells with interpretive dance. A huge thank you from all of us in Audlem for capturing this sonorous slice of history!

I totally agree with you Karen, if Muller know the village so well, they would never of built the Coop where it is, without considering off road parking for the passing trade. However that would not of been as financially viable possibly.
Perhaps a representative from the doctors surgery and school should be invited to the meeting to establish what their stance is on the matter, are they at capacity and are they going to put in an objection to the planning.
At present their appears to be a good few weeks wait 4+ for a general appointment, surely a 260+ influx of residents are going to exasperate this further!

I've just watched the film of the story of the restoration of the Bells by Cy Percival and found it fascinating.
A big thank you to all involved in the whole project and to those who take their time to ring the bells for different occasions and to practice on a Thursday evening.
Great job.

Is the planning officer going to be present at the village meeting next week? If Muller know the village as well as they claim to do, I'd be interested to know what they and the PO say about the traffic predicament, the GP and schooling numbers as well as the environmental survey.

Try Griggs of Nantwich. They have a website.

We are looking for a local person/ company to fit a new bathroom at our home I. Audlem, must be good with plumbing etc ,
Many thanks for any recommendations...

Despite never having played or watched a match I find the reports capture the sequence of events and atmosphere brilliantly. Good to read how well the youngsters do! Thanks John

I have just discovered a deceased mottled grey and white cat curled up in my front border, I am not sure how long it has been there, but if you wish to claim it, please get in touch with me, 07710524978

Can anyone tell me the route of the Tractor Run on Sunday, please. My Greatgrandson will be very interested to know.

Had a fabulous meal there on Thursday night – excellent food and really friendly staff.
It's great that they're open during the week. Apparently they're open weekdays for coffee – and Lek is a coffee guru – even roasts his own beans so we're definitely going to check that out!!

Could anyone recommend a dog groomer for two nervous, elderly dogs? I'm open to suggestions of mobile or local groomers. Many thanks

Regarding my earlier post a 'Torrid Time In Tollgate' there are a couple of points to consider. Utility work is required from time to timer to deliver the services we all need and although it's major work and going on for 3 or 4 weeks we can all work around the disruption. Having site traffic and contractors' vans parking in Tollgate for, potentially, a few years whilst Muller build houses is a different matter.

The other point to consider is the workmen involved. Talking to a few of my neighbours the feeling is that they have been very considerate and can't do enough to try and ease the disruption, a credit to Opus Utilities. A message I intend to send to their Head Office in Manchester, credit where it's due.

Ref: Geoffs comment about the EIA not being needed: How can Cheshire East have decided this already? We were told they gave the Parish Council an 1 month extension until 6th April to submit their feedback? Is the PC now going to challenge this? It sounds like a done deal ??? This seems shocking and looks suspicious especially given the plan timescale on the Muller website?

In association with ADCA, Sound Mind Body Wellbeing CIC are pleased to offer Moving Connections – Self Care sessions for Carers.

This will be a space for Carers to pause and refresh. To shift from doing to being.

People who provide care to loved ones often experience a decreased sense of wellbeing due to the demands of their role and a lack of opportunites for self care. This can result in feelings of stress, anxiety or low mood, and perhaps feeling overwhelmed or isolated.

Moving Connections sessions provide an opportunity for self care. Through creative reflection, movement, breathwork and somatic awareness participants are guided to find ways to regulate the nervous system, process emotions and unstick patterns held in the mind and body.

In these sessions, the focus is on the indivual, not their caring role.

Moving Connections is led by a skilled Movement Psychotherapist with decades of experience in this work.

The introductory session is on 28th April, 1.00pm at Audlem Public Hall. Regular sessions are planned. To find out more email therapies@soundmindbodywellbeing.uk or visit the website www.soundmindbodywellbeing.uk.

Anyone else notice that Cheshire East have decided an EIA is not required for this plan?

As per Sandra's comments we have used South Cheshire Glass a number of times recently to replace glass panes, a very reasonable price and always a prompt and efficient service.

Please take advantage of these free classes! We had to travel to Nantwich previously. There is no catch, they are organised with East Cheshire. Can recommend trying.

I have used South Cheshire Glass several times for a variety of glass jobs and they have always provided excellent service at a reasonable price. Tel No 01270 213366.

Hibberts very good (www.hibberts.com)

We have just recently had some double glazing panels replaced and a door fixed by Drayton Window Doctor, Market Drayton tel: +01 630653680. The workmen were very professional and we were pleased with their work especially on the door which they took apart almost completely to fix the locking mechanism.

We use South Cheshire Glass, very reliable and excellent workmanship

Catherine Bentley, I have just used Cheshire Glass based in Crewe, reasonable and very efficient

Can anyone recommend someone who does replacement glass for double glazed doors please.

Can anyone recommend a conveyancing solicitor? Who can deal with a small amendment in a document.
