Has anybody seen the Dog Poo Fairy?Has anybody seen the Dog Poo Fairy? There are wanted posters being put up in the village but it seems the Dog Poo Fairy doesn’t exist. Help support the Keep Britain Tidy campaign by picking up what your dog leaves behind. Keep Adderley dog poo free.
Don’t leave it for the Fairy, the Fairy doesn’t exist
For the last four years the Adderley Parish website has been with one hosting service. The website has grown and it now has in the region of 1000 hits per month. Not a lot by the standards of big website but for Adderley with its population of 300+ that’s quite something.
We have big plans for the website so that it provides the information that parishioners want and let’s people do things that they can do elsewhere such as buying tickets for Village Hall events on line.
To make this happen we are moving to a new hosting service. The move should happen next week and could take up to five days (hopefully it will happen more quickly). If you find the website isn’t available for a brief period then the move will be the reason why.
So stay with us and we look forwards to bringing you a faster website with new features in the next week or so. Any questions you can contact us on 01630 695862 or send us a message on the Adderley Village Facebook page.
You may have noticed the small signs appearing on lampposts along the road to Audlem advertising a charity cycle event. It is likely that this event will come through the village travelling down Green Bank and then continuing down the Norton-in-Hales Road.
The Parish Council have contacted the organisers to alert them to the potential for accidents on the Norton-in-Hales Road on and near the old railway bridge where the road goes through a series of bends and also narrows considerably. As farms are currently silaging and spraying there is the possibility of agricultural machinery being on the road on Sunday in addition to the usual traffic.
It is suggested that people in the village be aware of the potential for disruption if a large number of cyclists travel through the village on Sunday. The event is scheduled to run for the whole day.
At Last week’s Parish Council Meeting we received a report from the Helicopter Liaison Committee. The Helicopter Training School at Shawbury is taking delivery of a new fleet of helicopters to replace the existing ageing models.
As a consequence the training staff will be receiving conversion training over the next few weeks so you may well notice increased activity in the skies over Adderley. This is temporary and things should return to normal after May if all goes to plan. If you have any concerns contact our representative on the liaison group, Councillor Andrew Swindale who can advise.
Contact details can be found on the Parish Council page of the website.
On Thursday May 4th Adderley will be going to the polls for both the Unitary Council and the Parish Council.
The Parish Council has 7 seats and there are 7 nominees so these seats will not be contested. The nominees are listed in the Statement of Persons Nominated below.
There are two nominees for the post of Unitary Councillor and this seat will be contested. You can see the Notice of Poll relating to the Unitary Councillor position below.
A project recruiting volunteers needs your help. DoLS are looking for help in gaining volunteers to act as Relevant Persons’ Representatives to support people in Care Homes who have an authorisation to deprive them of their liberty (DoLS) and don’t have anyone suitable to act as their representative (usually it would be a family member or a close friend who would take on this role).

There’s an Open Day on Saturday so that potential buyers can take a look at 1 and 2 St Peter’s Court, next to the Village Hall. Kelly Simpson, from Golden Simpson, has been in touch to say that this is being run by the agents so much as Goulden Simpson like to party in Adderley (and who doesn’t) this time it’s just sales (sigh).
Kelly says, by all means come along and have a nose but it’s not going to be a Prosecco day this time – maybe next time?
My name is Ryan and I’m on the casting team at Ricochet TV part of warner bros TV production UK www.ricochet.co.uk
We are making a new television show for BBC2 called “The repair shop”; the show looks into repairing beloved and interesting possessions for people who would like to see them restored or repaired back to their original working order. The kind of items we have come across so far have ranged from inherited pocket watches to grandfather clocks, from rocking horses to drawn carriages, even from toy cars to VW campers. We have a team of experts who cover all trades such as blacksmithing, ceramics, clockmakers, upholsterers and carpenters
I am wondering if you might to be able to help spread the word amongst your parishes, networks and communities to see if anyone has an items that might be suitable they’d like to put forwards?
Additionally, as well as sentimental/interesting items belonging to individuals….we’d really love to feature and repair a few items in the show that have a community value, something treasured or something essential to communities that has fallen into disrepair, perhaps has an interesting story and purpose to the village/town that can be restored.
For example some towns, villages and communities have certain items that are important to them; they could be memorial plaques, eroded statues, snapped weather vanes, broken sun dials, cracked gargoyles, fading carvings, or maybe the paint is peeling on your local pub’s swing sign.
Please note that although a lot of things can be moved, items would need to not be permanently stuck in situ, for example some larger statues or water fountains are grand logistically feats to move. The item would be repaired at our repair shop (a barn outfitted for our experts) and given back to the community at no expense to the owner – additionally there would be broadcasted tv coverage from start to finish of the item, in the work shop and also when the item is revealed to the owner or community.
Please also note that we are receiving a lot of items and interest across the country, and sometimes they can be too big and take too long to fix, so please don’t be disheartened if we can’t repair it this time
If you’re happy to please share this information amongst your community that would be appreciated greatly.
If perhaps you might have something you’d love to be repaired, then please get back in touch with us at repair@ricochet.co.uk or call us on 01273 224800 , I’ve attached a flyer with information.
