You would think CE would do a more professional job of the Free after 3 notice, instead of a plastic wallet and tie wraps ( which could get ripped off or thought of as a scam)

Tues 3rd 11am. Small apricot dog seen running across Woore Road from Salford to School Lane. I followed it but lost sight of it when it went in to Vicarage Lane.

Be aware that there are fees each time you use the Ringo App for parking.
According to their App, its 7p convenience charge and 15p for Expiry reminder and confirmation SMS text messages.

Ah, the parking meter, a marvel of modern engineering--except when it isn't. Nothing says 'welcome to the future' quite like a state-of-the-art machine proudly displaying completely wrong instructions. Why would anyone want to leave their car to seek change when it clearly doesn't take cash? Kudos to whoever masterminded this masterpiece of confusion. Truly, a beacon of technological progress, if progress is defined as paying for parking while deciphering hieroglyphs.

Put yourself in the position of Cheshire East, a tall order I know, but if you were to choose a location for the pay machine, would you choose to take up a cash generating car parking space ( right outside the medical Centre} or would the obvious place be in the centre of the car park on the cobbled area? Alternatively, the grassed area opposite it's current location if you choose to make people walk to the bottom of car park to pay. But I guess we're lucky it's not sited by the Buttermarket. Just saying...

Great news that we are likely to have a Thai restaurant in the village.

Will the flag be replaced with the Flag of Saint George which should be in situ if any... NOT the Union Flag ? Or is the Church now declassified from Church of England status ?

Based in Adderley we have a AGA oil fired stove which we no longer need and are happy to give it away to any home or business that can use it. Please contact me through via text or call with your contact details and I can forward you some pictures. Stove has 2 hot plates, oil powered. and was working last time it was connected to an oil supply. probably pre dates 1973 so the classic look and design. Buyer needs to organise removal and collection but no monies wanted for the cooker itself. Contact – Ian Bourne 07850261714. Thank you.

How come when I looked at the bookings for Santa on AOL first thing this morning, and only just after the story first appeared on this site, virtually all the slots were already taken? Can bookings be made privately before they are made public? If so, can someone tell me how so I know for future years please!

Thank you for your lovely comments, Emma! We are delighted that you enjoyed the Craft Fair and it was a pleasure to help out with the tiny pot plant crisis! Come back next year!

does anyone have any recommendations for a builder to point the front of our house..thanks

Hi there,
Can anyone point me in the direction of someone to come and fix my stable roofing. The onduline has lifted in the strong winds and has now started to leak in patches. I will replace eventually but need someone who can come and help sort this temporarily for the remainder of the winter.
Many thanks
Lizzie

Hi can anyone recommend anyone for clearing out guttering and roof maintenance please ?

I wanted to say thank you to all involved with the craft fair on Saturday, we really enjoyed it. I also wanted to thank everyone who came to our rescue when my daughter dropped the little plant she had just bought. She was very upset but the offer of a cake, a new pot and someone to sweep up the soil made a huge difference. Thank you all!

If you contact me direct on 07467587456 I will happily send you images of the works.

Hi Jane, they are Serenity Bathrooms and Kitchens tel 07961613777

Please pass on contacts,

Wow! Aren't we lucky in Audlem to have suh a wonderful AOL produced each day. Many thanks to Adrian Leighton once again for his beautiful essay on Winter. What a treat he gives us from time to tme with his contridutions on nature and to wake up to read today's thoughtful article was exceptional. Very many thanks Adrian. Many thanks too to the editors of AOL for their daily efforts. Geraint.

After attending a talk today organised by ADCA from Surecare care providers. The lady mentioned there is a huge back log in contractors available to change bathrooms for the elderly in to wet rooms. I had my bathrooms fitted by contractors who did a fantastic job. I would be happy to pass on their details if anyone is interested?

It must be Christmas – a bus is coming to Audlem, even if it's only the COVID bus...perhaps they would be good enough to drop a few people off on their way back to civilisation in the absence of the cancelled bus services. Has anyone warned the COVID Bus operators that they will need to pay for parking in Audlem now?

Your right Judy, yet another table top exercises by East Cheshire as was the car park review.

Yet another failure by Cheshire East to do their homework, when up to 80% of the eligible addresses for residents' parking permits already have private parking, and many nearby addresses which don't have any off road parking, have been omitted !

Hi Claire,

I specialise in bright & bold illustrations. My Instagram handle is @annabel.design if you'd like to see some of my work. I can share my email with you if you're interested.

Over the last two years, with many thanks to the CO-OP loyalty cardholders, the CO-OP have donated a total of £2,757.09 (£1,033.25 in 2023 & £1,723.84 in 2024) to Audlem Saints Football Club (ASFC) via the Local Causes Campaign.

I have now retired from/left the ASFC committee after 20 years of involvement and would like to both thank Jo and her team at the CO-OP and local shoppers for your support.

What a great village to live in.

Please use the local causes nominations on your cards – it really helps – going forward mine will be the Music Festival.
