We have been advised by Cheshire West & Chester Council that John Street will be closed on Friday 1st February to allow Open Reach to work safely.
The TRO will be in place for a maximum of 5 days but it expected to last one day.
Please click on the attached TRO for details of this closure and the rather long diversion route.
Earlier today. I received this text message from one of our younger residents – it speaks volumes and you can see a transcript below. It was followed by a longer conversation about the CWaC/Tarporley Ward Community Transport Survey and also the Utkinton and Cotebrook Neighbourhood Plan. The texter’s details are withheld by agreement.
“Message received Monday 14th January 2018
Hi, I live in Utkinton, I’m messaging you regarding a public bus going through Utkinton which we could get to places even if it was simply just to Tarporley, on weekends me and a couple other young citizens would like this , it would improve Utkinton social aspects and may gain profits for the future.
Francis Tunney:
Hello, many thanks for this message. I am afraid that the provision for public transport through Utkinton or Cotebrook is nil at the weekend. Even during the week we have to rely on the community transport that runs between 09:30 and 14:30 Monday to Friday. This method requires you to subscribe to one of these services and then you can only travel by booking 24 hours in advance.
So, I am sorry to say that it is not possible.”
Read a very interesting piece in the ‘Guardian’ this morning about the process for choosing ‘City of Culture’ and how the ‘contest’ may be about to expand. Written by our very own benefactor – Professor Phil Redmond.

Please see the attached which we have received from Cheshire West & Chester Council re Public Health.
I was asked a question as to what they were for – and the assumption is that they are the posts for the 20 mph zone that was proposed by CWaC in the ‘consultation’
The schematic Below shows the proposed zone, it isn’t to scale, and the Tirley Lane portion goes up to the current 30mph / Deregulated signs.
We received this earlier;

We were notified, yesterday, by United Utilities of a possible water leak at the junction of Tirley Lane and Heaths Lane. A ‘Closed sign’ has been erected by the school so please avoid the area for now.
If we get any further info we will post it.
We were lucky to have Sir John at the opening of the extension to Cotebrook Village Hall recently where he dedicated one of the new rooms to his wife – and it is being well used already. But few know of his background – though many will have used the ‘Timpsons Shops’ for keys and other stuff and even fewer will know of the new ‘Barber Shops’ that his business is opening alongside some retailers across the country – I used one this week and they are really good.
But this piece isn’t about patting his organisation on the back, it is to give you an opportunity to read his piece about the paucity of city and town centres and it really is worth reading – even if you disagree with the perspective,
