Does anyone know what work CE Highways actually did recently in attempts to resolve the recurrent flooding at these two locations?
Does putting out Flood signs absolve CE Council from legal responsibility for any damage to vehicle engines etc from their failure to resolve the drainage problems over a period of several years?
The current rainfall is obviously exceptional but it's well known that it does not take much rain to cause flooding at Swanbach and Corbrook.

Hello, I have just had my en suite re fitted. The guy I used is a bathroom and kitchen fitter. I can highly recommend his work.
Email me and I'll let you have his details.

I cannot believe it. they closed the road on Green lane where it is flooded to stop any more vehicles getting stranded and there is now a coach full of passengers stranded. he will have had to move the road closed sign to get to it and now his passengers are waiting for lifts to finally get home. the only vehicles getting through this flood are tractors.

No surprise to see all the usual floods again today. I would like to know how much money the wonderful Council wasted this time having spent weeks recently attending to the Corbrook and Swanbach dips with teams of workers, diggers, trucks a plenty, and the obligatory temporary traffic lights, only to make not one jot of difference. This pitiful shower couldn't fix a hole in a bucket properly and if they didn't continue to squander vast amounts of money so ineffectively just maybe we wouldn't have to endure continual extra charges like the brown bin fiasco and the proposed car parking charges, I despair of them.

New footbridge in bottom corner of turnpike field , over the swampy bit, has broken up into sections and floated away.

I have been in touch with Rachel Bailey and she has confirmed United Utilities will not shut the Woore Road for roadworks this evening as planned and it will remain open whilst other routes out of the village are closed due to flooding.

Further to the suggestion by Judy and others for A Song for Audlem, perhaps it could be extended to a concept album in view of recent events. Something similar to Flanders and Swan's "The Slow Train" with the line "the sleepers sleep at Audlem" could change to The Slow Drain. The gulleys gush at Audlem

It seems we are now a moated village with access in and out restricted by flood water despite the recent works carried out.
Should we consider declaring UDI from Cheshire East and becoming the Independent state of Audlem?
That would put paid to their parking charges and yellow lines!

Corbrook is well flooded. I just managed to get through in my Land Rover (2 hours ago) at which time a van was trying to revoer a Jaguar sports car that had 'drowned'! Probably much worse now.

I'd like to addmy greetingsand bestwishes together with a Thank you andGoodLuck to our newParish Clerk, Carol Bell. Ihopeshe isable to positively contribute to helping our Council navigate the stormy headwinds they are facing on our behalf!!Welcome aoard the good ship Audlem, Carol

so after closing Green lane at the Fjord for 5 days with 6 workmen working on "fixing" the flood and then having traffic lights posted for a further 3 days due to shoddy work and the road surface crumbling, we now have a serious flood here this morning and I know of at least 3 vehicle (4X4, van and truck) that have been stranded in it. The water is waist deep!
Police are too busy to close the road. This is the worst i have seen it in my 9 years living here.

What a waste of tax payers money to make the problem worse that it was before!

Windmill lane Buerton is badly flooded as is the Nantwich road outside Bridgmere garden centre.

Thank you for the early reports of the 'usual flooding' which I was able to pass on to Cheshire East. Your early reports meant Audlem was at the front of the queue!
I am told by CE highways that a team has attended Old Railway Bridge but is unable to clear the volume of flood water so the A529 will again be closed.
I hope there is better news at Corbrook but await a update from highways.

Thank you Terry Aston and Jan Campbell for your recommendations of a roofer.

I can't believe we have waited so long for Billy Gibbons to wade in on this.....?

Actually Kevin, I've just given it a bit more thought for you :

Keep it free to pee in Audlem
And for shops, events and clubs
We need to keep our amenities
Medical practice, gym and pubs !

O Cheshire East you must listen
Our community has one plea
To keep our village vibrant
Our parking must be FREE !

I don't have a song – but I do have a suggestion for a chant for the protest : "No charges ! No fines !- No double yellow lines !"

can anyone recommend a good kitchen fitter or carpenter please

We are still looking for donations for tombola raffle and auction for our charity day on Saturday 28th October for Riding school for disabled in nantwich and District all donations great fully received to make as much money as we can for the charity Thank-you �€

Is there any talented songwriter or musician out there in Audlem who could write a car parking protest song?
This could be played on local radio etc to emphasise our cause against the introduction of parking charges.
Audlem Got Talent I'm sure.

Can I make a suggestion to whoever organises the mobile Covid vaccination service outside Audlem public hall as seen yesterday (17thOct). When advertising this service maybe explain it will be closed for lunch and due to poor planning it will probably run out of vaccine 3 hrs before it closes.
Many of people using this service were local elderly some having mobility issues. Turned away as it closed for lunch only to return later to be told no more vaccine. Surely they would have an idea approx how many vaccines would be needed for a 10.30-4 clinic. Absolute shambles

At least the walking is good for you.

I'd also recommend Anthony Jess

Roofer recommendation: Anthony Jess

I have made 5 visits over 2 sessions to this so called walk-in service, 3 times have joined the line to be told of 1 +hr waits, 1 run out of vaccine and after 15 mins come back after lunch. No mention of lunch on the site!!!! Result NO JAB, 4 miles of walking and very angry!!
