Can anyone recommend a good company to deal with a small area of damp in my pre 1950 home please? Many thanks.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to the kind people that ran to my aid when I dropped my motorcycle outside the co-op today! To the kind gentleman that picked up my bike and moved it to a safe place for me, to the lovely lady who made sure I was Ok and helped with my stand, and to the lovely couple who made sure I was Ok and even watched me off with a wave. Thank you so much, it was truly appreciated!!

Is there a Avon representative in the village?

I find the "live" radar speed limit signs are most effective at getting me to check my speed. Seeing the actual speed flashing as you approach these signs is bound to be more effective than static signs. Solar powered versions are £350 plus on Amazon so worth the investment, surely the Council could buy them for 3 or four times the price? 😊

two guys in a white van offering to fix broken roof tiles. not genuine, check them out before agreeing to anything.

Having seen first hand the impact on the village this morning (Monday 28/9), be it retail or traffic disruption, I have now ascertained that the unexpected road closure' of the A525 between Audlem and Woore, is a Shropshire Council instruction.
The Traffic Order (from 28/9 to 2/10) I am told, operates within school hours only.

As Cheshire East signage suggests further closures are imminent, regarding which I hope to provide further detail shortly.

Re Plumber wanted, I can highly recommend Glen Eldershaw 07870 722525 who did an excellent job for me with similar problem.

I am looking for a plumber who can fix my bath mixer tap which is constantly dripping. Suggestions will be appreciated.

What did the Home Office say in response to the Audlem parliamentary questions

The Home Office’s response was that it had not approved or provisionally approved any property in Audlem for asylum accommodation, and no contracted provider had entered into an agreement or arrangement to use a site there.
What the questions asked
Aphra Brandreth MP asked two related questions:
• Whether a Home Office-contracted provider had entered negotiations, agreements or other contractual arrangements with an Audlem property owner.
• Whether the Home Office had approved, provisionally approved or been asked to approve any property or site in Audlem for asylum accommodation.questions-statements.parliament +1
Home Office position
The answer stated, in substance, that:
• No property or site in Audlem had been identified as suitable for asylum accommodation.
• No Home Office approval had been given for an Audlem site.
• No contracted accommodation provider had entered into the relevant arrangements with an Audlem property owner.
• If a site were identified, Home Office officials would notify the local authority’s chief executive and the constituency MP.
This means the parliamentary answer does not confirm an asylum-accommodation plan for the former grammar school. It indicates that, as of the date covered by the questions, there was no approved or formally identified Audlem site.
The answer should nevertheless be read as a statement about the Home Office’s position at that time—not as a permanent guarantee that a property could never be considered later.

Staying on Audlem without a car to visit my Mum in Corbrook, I need to get a taxi to Crewe station on Sunday afternoon.

Any recommendations for a reliable service please?

One of the discussions among residents in Audlem is speeding traffic entering and leaving the Village, and vehicles invading pedestrian footpaths. Audlem SpeedWatch runs sessions each week. We all know that many motorists do not adhere to the 30 mph speed limit within the village. So once again, I am appealing to the residents of Audlem: we need more volunteers to encourage motorists to follow the 30 mph speed limit and keep residents safe while walking in our village.
We are very fortunate to have a Parish Council that supports us, and we work with Nick Jarvis, PCSO, who is our contact with Cheshire Police.
Our small group of volunteers need more support. We are a friendly, social group. So if you have a spare hour to volunteer, we'd appreciate your help keeping Audlem safe.
You can reach me at gmacbrown@hotmail.com or on my mobile at 07377623993.

Hi Rosalind, I live in Buerton and own United Carpets in Crewe, I'm sure we'll have something you like! Cheers, Eddie

As usual the permissive footpath between the A529 Market Drayton and the canal bridge at Swanbach will close during maize harvest, which is due to take place this coming week, 14 – 18th September.
This is to ensure safety of both walkers and operatives.
Thank you for your understanding.

Looking for recommendations for someone who can repair our guttering please

Rosalind, try Hugh Protheroe on 07931526167. Have yet to meet anyone better.

I've always used Bennets on Edleston Road. They also trimmed the bottom of the doors when necessary

Thank you for carpet shop recommendations. Does anyone know a local joiner who would shave a door to accommodate the new carpet?

Just want to say how good the repaired memorial in the centre of the village now looks. As I understand it the memorial needed some remedial work for safety reasons. This has now been done but it was a good opportunity to tidy it up a little. A great result and a thumbs up to the Parish Council for facilitating the work.

Hello everyone

All materials provided with a glass of prosecco for £25 per person.

Please call/text Liz on 07951/584900 to book.

Hi Ros, we've used House of carpets too and we're very pleased. Great choice and really good team of fitters.

I have used Bennett's Carpets of Edleston Road, Crewe for many years and definitely recommend them. See website.

I used House of Carpets from Market Drayton recently and they were excellent, recommended by my neighbour, and I'm happy to recommend them also
