Are you, or does any one know Stu Beckett. Have small, low value item delivered to my address but with Mr Becketts name on front. Not ordered by me. Contact me on garyscloud@me.com with a phone number to reunite them both.

How much taxpayers money have the council got to provide towards this when the building thats there is perfectly good enough and they continue to claim to not have enough for essential services?

So the archives are coming to Crewe – that's old news

As somebody who spends most of my free time conducting research for myself and other people it,s great news that at last the new research in Crewe is finally going ahead.

What a lovely surprise was delivered on Thursday from the Mum's and toddlers from Praise and Play. It was very much appreciated and may l take this opportunity to wish them a merry Christmas and l hope Santa brings them lots of toys.

After a long walk in the cold sunshine with our dog it was lovely to be able to call into the Shroppie Fly for a 'delectable' hot chocolate. We had a very warm friendly welcome and after hearing about their plans for fresh home cooked food served from 14th December we will definitely call in next week for lunch. Good luck for the future.

Hi Roy

Friday morning at 9.45 on the playing field.

It's Fridays 9:45 on the village playing field next to the car park

Where and when does the walking football take place

I can confirm that Terry has a propensity for scoring own goals.

I can also confirm the whole session is great fun with a bonus of being a little fitter afterwards.

Good picture Chris ,remember the field well before it was in the hands of the weed lovers Ah well,suppose that's progress.

Just moved into the village and could do with a handyman to do a variety of jobs in the house and garden. Can anyone recommend someone local?

Many thanks.

Just to add to Friday's news item, I was a bit of a latecomer to the walking football. Despite my advancing years and dearth of skill the whole bunch have been very welcoming and friendly – they're also quite tolerant of my propensity for own goals. Alex does a great job of making sure everyone is involved and is very encouraging to those of us (mainly me) with limited ability. A subgroup has also been formed to field a team for the Tuesday night Combermere quiz where we have had some success occasionally.
I'd encourage anyone wavering over whether to join in to have a go – you've nothing to lose, it's great fun.

Just a quick note to say thank you to all the wonderful people who have welcomed us to Audlem and been in n to support us over the last few days.

Mike and Dale

This message is a bit belated maybe, but i just want to thank all thse volunteers who gave their time to fix all the Christmas trees in the village. Lit up after dark, the big tree in the square is beautiful and magnificent – the best ever! Better by far than Downing Street or Trafalgar Square!!

It's not the bridge Colin, its the piece of road/embankment a few yards before the bridge on the left if you come from the Village. I haven't had a look at it (not that that would do any good of course) but from the car I can't see what the problem is although there must be one. I think it's a similar issue they have at the Adderley Lights. Lets hope it's not similar time-wise although it could well be..... ;-(

I think you might have to get used to them Billy as they could be around for a very long time. The question is, how much of the taxpayers' money is the council going to plunder on the unnecessary traffic lights on the green lane bridge whilst it waits for funding in 2023/24? Wybunbury bridge has functioned perfectly well for 50 years plus by giving one side right of way, which keeps the traffic moving nicely and all it would need is 2 signs, that I could knock up in 30 minutes for about £20, job done.

No, not the Christmas variety...the other ones.

If anyone is as fed up with them as I am, and there must be a few residents in Green Lane who are, I have recieved this;

'Work to repair the collapsed section of highway embankment along Green Lane is anticipated to be funded for delivery early in the 2023/24 financial year'.

There you have it. Not rumour or conjecture, just the facts. ;-)

Wonderful News!! We went to the Shroppie tonight – such a warm friendly welcome from the new team, Mike and Dale. Good beer, excellent choice of wines and a great atmosphere. It's been a long time since we enjoyed being there! We'll be back Very Soon.

Great news from Mike and Dale. The best of luck to them in the Fly.
Nigel.

Great to see the Shroppie Fly opened again today without any particular hoops to jump through. Decent selection of real ales including Shroppie Gold at £3.60. Hope Mike and Dale make a great success of it

Currently looking at Colleges & considering Brine Leas Sixth Form. Could anyone who's child currently attends give me more information on the bus times from Audlem? Thank you

Well said Stewart, at least the growing many who won't be able to afford to power their homes this winter will be able to look fondly out there windows whilst huddled round some candles in a Dickensian manner.

Big thanks to Peter and Saracen nice to have the toilets back in action . Perhaps if the C C T V was working properly the vandals may well have been identified . Any kind hearted person in the village good at F O C repair job on this equipment please .

Thank you Colin for the suggestion.
