  • Best medicine

    I WOULD like to thank all those who helped with the organising and those who attended the latest Billy Nomates show. Owley Wood Club provided the venue and full support and thanks to the management and staff. 'The Funny Thing About Strokes Show

  • Plan concern

    THE news that the Planning Inspector has recently adjourned the independent enquiry into the Congleton Local Plan is of concern. This is apparently due to the high level of statements and the need to process them. It reinforces my view that

  • Flash in the pan?

    IT IS nonsense to say the Neighbourhood Plan will destroy the Flashes. The reality is that the NP sets strict policies about the amount and location of public open space that must be provided as part of any development – building right down to

  • Why I'll vote No

    I WAS wondering where the idea that Winsford residents want another supermarket has come from? I was part of the focus groups and don't remember anyone stating that it was imperative that we got another supermarket. I clearly heard people asking

  • Say Yes to plan

    WINSFORD will change, whether we like it or not. But, unlike those powerless residents of a previous generation, where a development plan was literally bulldozed through the heart of the town, today’s residents have the chance to shape the Winsford

  • Save our fields

    IT IS ironic that Mr Burns is suggesting that the no campaigners are trying to stop the neighbourhood plan (NP) for the same reason as the developers. The developers would see the area around Rilshaw Lane, leading down to the Flashes, devastated

  • The Alex on the rise

    STEVE Davis says Crewe must maintain their momentum after climbing off the foot of League One. The Alex displayed plenty of heart to record their third successive win (1-0) over high-flying Peterborough United on Tuesday night. After seeming

  • Dog saviours deserve praise

    I READ The Fly in the Ointment’s comments on the awful tragedy of the Manchester Dogs Home, Guardian, October 8, and cannot believe how spiteful a person the mystery columnist must be to publicly air such a view. The Fly clearly doubts the amazing

  • Weaverham & District Gardening Club

    THE guest speaker at the last meeting was Martin Blow of Special Perennials nursery in Hankelow, who was talking about day lilies. He recently appeared on Gardener’s World and gave an amusing insight into the “pleasures” of appearing on the programme

  • Extreme Cheese problems

    THE Crewe Liberal Club Open League may have a further resignation shortly as Cheese Hall from Division 5 again did not play after experiencing extreme problems with player availability and may fold. The adverse effect on Divisions is reflected

  • Mid-Cheshire Camera Club

    WINSFORD mayor Councillor Gina Lewis opened the club’s annual exhibition at Winsford Library and remarked on the quality and variety of pictures. She also requested copies of some of them for the town council. The exhibition runs for all of October

  • Thanks for your support

    MAY I sincerely thank all those that made our St Luke's Hospice charity disco night a success. Thank you to Rudheath Social Club and staff, for the donation of the room and the following for their raffle prize donations. I would also like to

  • Kings keeping things Cosey

    THE Crewe Liberal Club Open League Premier Division Dominoes pacemakers Kings Arms A beat Nantwich Road ASLEF 6-2. They are now two points ahead of Cosey Club who beat Commercial 5-3. Cheshire Cheese gained their first win, 5-3 at Pioneers

  • Own goal by council

    THE phrase, "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" is well-worn. But, a recent experience with CWAC enforces the validity of this cliche. Several weeks ago I wrote to CWAC regarding the footpath between the Blue Bridge and

  • Tougher laws on dog attacks in Cheshire East

    CHESHIRE East Council has vowed to enforce tough new laws to help prevent violent dog attacks in the borough. Police and councils will now be able to demand that owners take action to prevent a dog attack or risk a fine of up to £20,000.

  • Winsford votes to adopt Neighbourhood Plan

    WINSFORD has voted to adopt the town’s Neighbourhood Plan. More than two thirds of the town’s electorate (69 per cent) voted in favour of the document, which outlines where at least 3,500 new houses and 35 hectares of employment land will be created

    IF you think you have the X factor you could win £1,000 by showcasing your talent in Northwich in the new year. The money is the prize for the winner of Northwich X Factor, which is seeking to uncover the town’s top talent. The competition
