Helene Dickinson, age 34, of Handforth, was involved in a head on collision on the notorious A550 Welsh Road, which sadly resulted in her tragic death. She was the daughter of Sue and Barry, big sister to Caroline and girlfriend to Ian and will be greatly missed. Helene was looking forward to becoming an Aunty and was a keen animal lover. Her pet tortoise Ralph and her cat, Cora, with whom she shared her apartment, will be cared for by her friends. School singathon LITTLE Sutton CE Primary pupils and staff are attempting their first ever ‘Singathon’ – non-stop singing all afternoon on Thursday 1st March. This is to celebrate National Sing Up Day which takes place the same week, and to showcase the great singing that goes on in the school. Library is well red! ELLESMERE Port’s library is to glow red for a month to highlight cardiovascular disease as part of the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) Red for Heart campaign which takes places during National Heart Month. During March the library will be floodlit red at dusk for a month to bring home to local residents and visitors to the town that National Heart Month is the ideal time to think about your own heart health. The national campaign Red for Heart will also raise vital funds for the BHF to help beat the nation’s biggest killer. Councillor Angela Claydon, Mayor of Ellesmere Port, joined local family the Palins, who have two children with a genetic heart disease, to mark the occasion as the lights were switched on for the first time. Cllr Claydon said: “Heart disease is a very important issue which affects a great number of people and I am proud and delighted to be able to take part in such a worthwhile event.

    Carlsson-Hyslop, Dan From: Jan Tapp Sent: 19 October 2017 13:11 To: reviews Subject: Consultation Attachments: Consultation on Garden Quarter ward Jan.doc Good afternoon I have tried a dozen times to upload my views in a Word document to the consultation re the Garden Quarter ward in Chester, Cheshire. The website keeps repeating to reload the document but doesn't explain why. I enclose my submission here. Please tell me if my submission is acceptable in this format or what to do next. Thank you Regards Janet Tapp Member of the public 1 Consultation on Garden Quarter ward 'The pattern of wards should reflect the interests and identities of local communities as well as promoting effective local government' I submit my views as a resident of the Garden Quarter since 2002, with professional involvement in the University and local school for many years before that, an active member of the Garden Quarter Association, and as a governor of Bluecoat CE Primary School. The Garden Quarter is a vibrant, diverse and inclusive community, which must under no circumstances be divided. It is the focus of most student housing in Chester and thus has a unique character. The GQA was set up to bring together all residents, temporary or permanent, and we are proud to say that it is an overwhelming success. People check on their neighbours, young or elderly, and we have now achieved our aim of bringing together every strand of the area - the churches, pubs, businesses, students and the union, school and PTA, scouts, elderly care homes, Bridge Foyer - the list is endless.

The visit was the first short inspection carried out since the school was judged to be good in June 2013. This school continues to be good. The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You have a clear vision for the school and are accurate in your choice of priorities to drive improvement. Your governors support and challenge you well and are also very clear on what the school needs to do to improve further. Most parents who took part in the online survey were positive about all aspects of school and all of them would recommend the school to others. Furthermore, parents I spoke to during my visit were extremely positive about the school. You have a clear passion and a determination for improving your school and you have continued to extend your leadership team to support you. Since the previous inspection, pupils’ progress continues to be strong at key stage 2 and in the early years. You are keen to ensure that all pupils make equally strong progress, particularly those who are disadvantaged and the most able pupils.

  • Cheshire Mammal News
    Spring 2005 CHESHIRE MAMMAL NEWS Welcome to the relaunch of the Cheshire Mammal Group (CMaG) Newsletter . CMaG was established in 2001 and aims to encourage the study, conservation and to raise awareness of, the mammal species in the Cheshire region. We now have a well-established pattern of meetings (every three months) and events, and are working towards the launch of the first mammal atlas for Cheshire in 2007. We have a small committee working to coordinate the groups activities, and a number of brave volunteers who are in the process of designing our new website. We launched our Events Programme in January 2005 with an ‘Introduction to the Mammals of Cheshire’ at Risley Moss LNR. This event was well attended and introduced people to the wide range of mammals found in Cheshire from the whales and seals found off our small piece of coast line at the Wirral, to the ever increasing numbers of bat species now recorded in the county. Further events looked at field signs for water vole, and a trip to the reintroduction site for the dormouse. Everyone has enjoyed these days and the programme continues through the summer with more field-based workshops on bats, small mammals and deer. Please come and join us if you can. If you’re feeling more adventurous the Mammal Society and the Field Studies Council both run field courses based on mammals and more information can be found on their web sites. As well as our events programme our other main theme for the future is mammal recording. The information from mammal surveys and incidental records will form the basis for a book on the ‘Mammals of Cheshire’ which we hope to have ready for publication by Spring 2007.
