Yes! I would love this! I work for the university but am based full time at home and would love a change of venue and some'co-workers' without making the trip to the office sometimes! High speed reliable internet would be a must, a mix of open desks and those with some privacy would be good, maybe links to local businesses for refreshments (Jan Lek, Tearoom etc), charging points, a printer or scanner available, and at a reasonable price (!)

Yes it is a real boat that forms the bar at the Shroppie Fly

Does anyone know if the boat at the bar in she Shroppie Fly is a real boat?

133 new houses with one access through Tollgate Drive ! Madness

Well said Margaret. I couldn't agree more.
The last time a planning application was put in for this land in 2016 the flood plain was pointed out to the applicant. At that time only 5 houses were planned for that part of the field.
Also the land going down to the canal, almost directly beyond the Tollgate entrance was considered to be outside the village boundary for housing and also a landscape worth keeping.

Chris Fennell in market Drayton is excellent. Fixed our washing machine and oven in the past.

We are considering setting up a coworking/hot desking space in Audlem and would love to hear what people think.

* Would you use a coworking/hot desking space in Audlem?

* What features make a coworking/hot desking space appealing?

* What do you like or dislike about coworking/hot desking spaces?

Constructive opinions would be appreciated.

It would make a real change if builders actually consulted residents or even the Parish Council to establish "The Housing Need" for the village rather than submit plans for houses that will make them the most profit. It is unbelievable that they feel it will have no Environmental Impact especially as the location is by the River Weaver, but at least it will provide the water features for many gardens when it floods.

Has account been taken into account of impact on the school village, nursery, and medical facilities. Have they taken into account that we have no pubic transport? We know that there is a housing shortage but why not plan constructively and not purely to meet the required government targets. What new facilities will be part of the planning permission apart from open areas for recreation. Best guess in NONE.

Thank you Chris, appreciated.

Always helpful to have word of mouth recommendations

Does anyone have contact details for a reliable washing machine repair man? I simply refuse to buy a new machine!

I know they're slightly out of the village, but have you tried The White Lion at Hankelow or Overwater Marina?

Does anyone have or know of any rooms to rent for the 13th and 14th of February in the village, as everywhere seems to booked up.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone had experience of fitting ramp or lift and fixings in van, bus, taxi etc? Trying to find local firm.

Thank you Moira for your recommendation of Pebbles. Kim

Looking for a driver to take some boxes from Audlem to an address in Chester. Van or large car will suit.
These boxes will be ready at end of March. Happy to pay all expenses.

I highly recommend Gareth Hardy. A superb painter and decorator and very pleasant, honest and tidy too. Tel no 07518 292988.

I have always used FAB Systems from Newcastle, they have always done a great job at a very competitive price, I have recommended them to a few people in the village who have all been suitably impressed by them.

Could someone recommend local painter/decorator with reasonable prices please

Looking for recommendations for a trader to fit new windows.

Excellent recommendation, re Pest control, turned up next day. Great chap, told us all about cluster flies now all gone thank goodness. Apparently, rural areas suffer more, so I'll be checking more often.
Cheers Anne.
