I have read the pubkic comments at rhe Extraordinary GM. I understand people's worries about what might be planned for the village. There is an assiduously promoted idea that all young male asylum seekers want to take our jobs, steal our goods and rape our girls. Fortunately the reality is not quite so black and white.

Happy birthday Audlem on Line, and a huge thank you to all involved. Its a great site, full of local information and news .
As with every endeavour of a voluntary nature,it seldom gets the 'pat on the back' it deserves.
Well done �'�

Happy 21st Birthday from me too and thanks to all who make it happen every day.

ADCA

A huge thank you to all the team at ADCA. They really pushed the boat out on Tuesday with a fantastic party, an abundance of tasty food, great entertainment and excellent effort from all the team, including the wonderful volunteers. They waited on us all, tirelessly and with a big smile from everyone. The clubs have a huge impact on all who attend, with support and reassurance from the dedicated team.
For anyone considering joining, I would wholeheartedly recommend they give it a go. You will be met with a very warm welcome and soon become one of the family! Julia the entertainment gets better each week!

Football found in the tennis courts today. Handed into Judy at Williams newsagents for owner to collect.

Can anyone recommend a local reliable person who can unblock a short run of guttering at my property on Longhill Lane. The guttering is new but appears to be blocked by moss which has come down off the roof. The property is a Victorian house which is quite tall. Many thanks.

Happy 21st Birthday and thank you for the service that you all provide. It is much appreciated :)

I would suggest you first contact a solicitor in Nantwich.They will take some details from you and most will offer you a 30 minute free consultation and a possible course of action

Hi can anyone recommend a good heating engineer . As I need a radiator replaced .
Thank you .

Audlem dry cleaners did a great job replacing the large zip in my Paramo waterproof coat.

Recommendations please for solicitor who deals with/specialises in sentencing appeals for traffic offences. (Not for me, I don’t drive).

Despite there having been a temporary stop put on the works the men are there this morning building the wall. It would appear that those who do not go through the recognised channels follow their own rules. What can be done?

Does anyone know where to get a large zip repaired or replaced? Thank you

Thanks Janet, pity the audlem lass could not step in to help us get to you! On a Monday so many places close and I have a granddaughter to entertain.

Hi Audlem,

I have long held a dream of opening my very own Travel Agency in Audlem, and I wanted to get a feel of if this is something the village would benefit from. Whilst I am not from Audlem (Madeley) I have spent many days and nights in Audlem throughout my life and the village has a special part of my heart.
I run and own Dreamscape Journeys By Lisa from my home office in Madeley and have a thriving business but do miss the interaction with customers so this has prompted my idea. I offer and book all types of holidays from UK breaks to tailor-made itineraries and anything in between. I also have a spot on the local Hitmix Radio 107.5 every Friday and I am passionate about bringing the community together with trips away etc. With over 30 years experience in the travel industry and fully bonded and Atol protected booking with me is safe and secure. Any comments would be appreciated as there is a property that I have seen which could work for me, but would love the village feedback if this is something you wanted.

We were hoping that someone may be able to help with locating the grave of a family member who, we believe, may have been buried in Audlem Cemetery. Her name was Winnie Hounslow from Buerton who was born on the 24 August 1897 and died on the 19 October 1897 at only 2 months old.

We saw, on 'Audlem Online', that the late Ralph Warburton once had the burial records for Audlem Cemetery and are hoping that someone else may well now have access to these.

Any information would be gratefully received. My email address is mike.beach2016@outlook.com or I can be contacted on my mobile 07738 818901. Thank you.

I’m gad to hear the work at the old grammar school is being put on hold , we are being listened to ,but we need to be doing more of the same ,everyone must feel relieved ,if the developers had not flouted the building regulations ,it could have been a different out come ,it’s not in our interest to sit back and take no notice of what is going on around us

Celia, I’m now told the closure has changed and it is the Audlem end that will be closed so there will be no access from Audlem to the marina on 24th and 25th Aug. That said who know whether this will change or not.

As an update, open reach have now placed signs at the Audlem end saying that the road will be closed there on 24 Aug for 2 days. Whether or not they will allow access to the marina I don’t know. This will be the 14th closure on Coole lane to date this year.

Wanted to make a few key points on this, the building itself is not just a Grade II listed building. It is Grade II* listed, which is a substantially higher level of heritage significance. Historic England’s official listing confirms that it was built principally in 1655, with the headmaster’s house dating from 1770, and describes its architectural and historic interest in considerable detail. So there is a case here to fight just on this.
Another key point is that complaining to Cheshire East is futile – as you’ve all seen, the whole procedure is almost so over complicated it’s like they want everyone to give up. Historic England were hopeless also. Seems they’d rather go after normal people who want to put double glazing in listed homes to generally keep them secure and warm.

The council and government are not on our side – we as a collective or APC need to probably start a go fund me to provide a commercial alternative to the current owner who has clearly bought the building cheap knowing he can go for change of use – applying once the work is done for change of use is what they do, and get a SERCO contract! This is the MO of many greedy investors buying such properties, and the government/greedy councils are always on their side.

I’d suggest people attend the coffee morning Saturday and show we won’t take this laying down, APC start thinking about a GoFundMe – people will contribute as most sane people in this country apart from the blue haired fatties of course are sick of watching our country go down the toilet.

Please can people also think before accusing any concerned person a racist also, it’s lazy and more importantly, caring about your community and those in it does not make anyone a racist.

It is not racist to not want undocumented illegal fighting aged men being housed in our village at our expense where all our kids enjoy the freedom to walk and meet friends and get their school buses etc nor early release prisoners or god knows what because as we have all seen first hand there is no common sense anymore and our government is definitely not on our side!

Celia, as I understand it the closure is toward the Nantwich end so it should be no problem accessing the marina.

The website does not make it easy to report as there is no planning at all. I phoned Cheshire East and was told to report it to the planning enforcement department directly using this email address
planning.enforcement@cheshireeast.gov.uk

This is a very similar situation to a house which my Grandparents lived in when I was a child. Edgeley House , Whitchurch. Some years ago it became a nursing home. After it closed it sat empty , had huge high fencing erected around it but supposedly was never sold. Two years ago there was a fire which caused some small damage but afew weeks ago there was a huge fire which caused massive damage- within days the whole site was being cleared -there was not time for any investigations to be carried out !!!!!! The house would have been listed and there were several very old Cedar trees which certainly would have had protection orders.
