The proposed Muller development is out of scale with the existing built environment and would cause significant harm to the rural character and historic setting of Audlem. The development does not reflect the village's size, design heritage, or infrastructure capacity, and therefore conflicts with both national and local planning policies, particularly those aimed at protecting the character of rural communities.

I've just reported 4 blocked gulleys in Audlem using CEs new TRACE system.

My observations on the system, previously reported issues have not been ported across, no surprises there I guess.
I tried to report a poor repair and a small pothole. Couldn't see any option for poor road surface repair and they're not allowing pot holes less than 20mm deep to be reported.

My hopes weren't high, but see CE have fully met my expectations.

Hello
Hope you are keeping well?

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be holding another gong sound bath tomorrow evening Thursday 24th July at
The Scout Hut, 7-8.15pm.

If you missed the last one and are interested please use the link to book your place on my website https://bookwhen.com/jenergyyogaandwellbeing/e/ev-szd0-20250724190000

In this session, we'll use the healing frequencies of gongs, tibetan bowls, chimes, and grounding instruments to guide you into a deep meditative state -- the kind where the mind lets go, the body unwinds, and your energy begins to reset itself without needing to "do" anything.

✨ No experience needed
✨ Just come as you are -- tired, curious, tender, open
✨ You can lay down, close your eyes, and receive

Sound has a way of reaching parts of us that words can't.
It's been incredibly supportive for many navigating stress, heaviness, or emotional overwhelm -- and also for those simply seeking a quiet, soul-nourishing pause from the noise of life.

If something in you feels curious or called -- you're so welcome to join. �'�

Please bring either a yoga mat or garden reclining chair to enjoy your experience. A blanket and cushion for under your head, some people like to bring an additional one for under your knees to feel totally at ease. You may also like to bring an eye mask or scarf to rest your eyes.

I look forward to seeing you soon and please feel free to contact me on 07773 103980

Have a wonderful day!

SpeedWatch is seeking volunteers who can spare an hour a week to help monitor traffic in Audlem. Each monitoring session requires three volunteers to stand in designated locations approved by Cheshire Police, tracking the speed of vehicles entering and leaving the village.
A speed gun, generously provided by Audlem Parish Council, is used to check the speed of all vehicles passing through Audlem. Volunteers record details of vehicles exceeding the 30mph speed limit.
Conducting more speed checks benefits the entire community. These checks raise awareness among drivers passing through Audlem to adhere to the 30mph speed limit.
All volunteers are insured by Cheshire Police whilst monitoring traffic.
To expand the team, residents interested in volunteering are encouraged to contact us via email at gmacbrown@hotmail.com or call 07377623993.
Many thanks.

Interesting to hear of the musket balls. Probably from civil war skirmishes. We know there was fighting around Moss hall and George Hardy found musket balls in the field between Cox bank and the canal. They got everywhere! That field was used for Audlem show for a few years around 1910 so coins might have been dropped.

When we rented the field for the sheep during the late '90s and early 200's about twice a year a group of detectorists would appear ,they always said the had permission from the then owner. They made several interesting finds including musket balls and bits of leather but as far as I am aware no treasure trove

Jane, a former resident of Audlem has been diagnosed with systemic scleroderma, her two daughters are hoping to raise funds to help their mum and others with systemic scleroderma. If you can help their cause that would be great.

Celia is right though, news items get buried below posts which are just adverts for businesses

Celia, the car fire was actually reported on Audlem Online on the day – so no need to repeat it again today presumably.

Apologies! Did not see your posting about the fire please ignore!

Wed afternoon i knew something was up as there was increased traffic in the lane. Facebook revealed a car on fire by the co-op. Next day no mention on audlem on line, come on, keep up. The'news' is becoming a trade advertising slot

Our beautiful old cat Bella has gone missing. She was last seen in the early hours of Sunday morning in the Monks Lane Area. If you see her please email me. We are very worried as shes never done this before. Thank you!

(I have some photos of her but cant seem to attach them?

Please can you tell me where to send the photos?

Many Thanks)

Am trying to book somewhere to take a vegan friend for Sunday lunch whilst visiting my parents in Audlem – just wondered if anyone has any recommendations in/near the village, please?

Has anyone else noticed the increasing numbers of circular (typically 30-40cm across) filled and unfilled holes on the field? I came across three groups of metal detectorists on the field on Saturday and suspect they are to blame. When approached, they claim to have permission to dig. I know they are just having a bit of fun, but the holes are a trip hazard, and the grass, when replaced on top of the filled holes, always dies and looks unsightly. Who has given this permission?

I have just received an email, Vehicle Tax Compliance Alert . From Tax Evasion Control @ Vehicle Legal . Uk For driving a vehicle on a Public road without Road Tax.

Beware it is a SCAM

Hello , I have just read the query about what sonic sound is and just wanted to clarify it's a relaxing sound meditation that has sonic frequencies that our ears can hear, helping to restore your natural state of balance. I use gongs which send out these sonic frequencies that you may have not heard before which calms and rebalances the nervous system. Helping to gently detox the body at a cellular level of healing. Helping to slow down our thought process into a deeper meditative space to find peace and stillness. If you would like further information or have any further queries, please contact me 07773103980.

I currently have spaces for this experience and am looking forward to sharing this holistic modality with everyone.

If you haven't been to a sound bath before, then here is a little further information about what to expect. Arrive and lay on a mat or chair fully clothed , making sure you have blanket and cushions to feel really comfortable. Optional eye mask.
I play Tibetan singing bowls and a guided meditation, so you can feel relaxed into a meditative state Followed by a period of time where I play the gongs. I will then use grounding instruments to bring you out of the gong meditative space.

Many people feel relaxed during and after the experience and enjoy a great night's sleep.

I've attached the link here

My friend is looking for a field 1-2 acres, for grazing 1 horse, preferably with water and access for vehicle. With or without a shelter . Long term rent. Her contact number is  07944 020897. 

Can anyone recommend a carpet retailer and fitter ? Thinking about carpet tiles. Thanks

Jenny I can highly recommend Gareth Hardy. He has done a lot of work for me and he is excellent. Furthermore he is very pleasant, honest, punctual and tidy. He has done a lot of work in Audlem. Tel No 07518 292988.

Hello – can anyone recommend a painter and decorator – preferably local and who you have had experience with please.

I was confused by this phrase-tautology? However my friend google says that sonic is in the audible range in contrast to subsonic or ultrasonic which are not audible to humans. I still dont know what the experience would be!

Hello Everyone

I hope you don't mind me adding a little more information about what Sound Healing is, if you haven't heard about it before. I'm really excited to be sharing Gong Sound Bath on Friday 27th June at The Public Hall.

The Science Behind Sonic Sound

Research has shown that sonic sound can have a profound impact on our bodies and minds. Here are some of the key findings:
Reduces stress and anxiety: Studies have found that listening to sonic sound can decrease cortisol levels, heart rate, and blood pressure, leading to a state of deep relaxation.
Pain relief: Sonic sound has been shown to reduce pain in patients with chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and even cancer.
Improves mood: The vibrations from sonic sound can increase the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, leading to improved mood and reduced symptoms of depression.
Boosts immune system: Research has found that sonic sound can increase the production of antibodies, which help fight off infections and diseases.

Ways You Can Benefit from Sonic Sound?

With our increasingly demanding lifestyles, it's essential to find ways to manage stress and promote relaxation.
Here are some ways you can benefit from sonic sound:

Reduces stress and burnout: Sonic sound can help you relax and recharge, reducing the risk of burnout.
Improves sleep: Listening to sonic sound before bed can help improve sleep quality, leading to better rest and recovery.
Boosts energy: Sonic sound can increase energy levels and reduce fatigue, helping you power through your busy day.
Enhances self-care: Sonic sound can be a powerful tool for self-care, promoting relaxation, calmness, and inner peace.

Thank you for reading this post and look forward to meeting you on the 27th June. If you don't want to lay down on the floor, I invite you to bring a garden chair that you can recline, bring a blanket and cushion to get comfortable. Lay back, relax and just listen, that's all there is to it.

If you would like to come , please visit my website www.jenergyyogaandwellbeing.co.uk. Audlem Admin have very kindly put a link on my poster in the What's On page. Have a wonderful day! Jenny

Hi Chris.
After two drivers broke down in the early hours of Sat am, I called CEC's emergency number and they patched it that afternoon.
Quick service thankfully.
However, it was just a temp / emergency fix.
Shame every "fix" CEC does only lasts a few months. A sorry state of affairs which is needlessly wasting millions £ each year.

The large pot hole opposite my drive has been filled, but just looks like some asphalt slapped into the major part of the hole. No doubt the running water will soon erode the filling and we will be back to square one.. Hardly a case of a stitch in time.
Chris
