Hankelow Online Noticeboard

Theft at Corbrook Lodge

At around 3 am on Sunday morning (8th November) 2 mountain bikes, a petrol driven Stihl leaf blower/sucker, strimmer and an electric sander in a black fabric case were stolen from Corbrook Lodge.

The Stihl leaf blower & strimmer were found dumped or hidden in brambles by the lay-by in the dip between Hankelow & Corbrook. The sander and bikes remain outstanding.

The mountain bikes are junior size & Isla brand – one is grey with luminescent green makers name and the other is turquoise/teal with orange makers name.

The residents have excellent CCTV and also have training shoe prints but would be grateful if anybody with any further information or CCTV covering the Audlem Road - no matter how little - would contact the web site for their details to be forwarded on. There is unlikely to be much traffic at 0300 - 0330 & the bikes may have been ridden away.

Cheshire East is now in the second lockdown.

Since the notice below concerning the Covid alert level was posted, the Government have announced new national restrictions, to apply for four weeks from 00:01 a.m. on Thursday November 5th, until Wednesday December 2nd. You can find out more here.

Deb Lindop of Cheshire East has sent a link to a virtual Village Hall, an initiative by the Royal Voluntary Service, and information about the Council's Covid 19 community response and recovery fund, which is being extended. Also more recruitment and job support is available.

This poem was composed by Jenny Howarth.

Covid - 19

The R rate, it’s getting too high,
Meaning more innocent people will die,
Protests, large groups and so much more,
Please think what your doing, I’m shocked to the core,
It’s a simple request, social distance, keep safe,
It shouldn’t have to be rammed in your face,
It’s not forever, this pandemic will be in our past,
But lets put it there quicker, it’s spreading too fast,
If you look at yourself and think you’ll be fine,
Think of the vulnerable suffering down the line,
It doesn’t take much for this virus to spread,
Family and friends catching it I genuinely dread,
My friends and colleagues, NHS staff,
Are risking their lives, this isn’t a laugh,
It’s much more serious than some people think,
Pushing the country to the absolute brink,
But we can stop this, we can win,
Just listen to the advice and please STAY IN.
It could save your life, your families and friends,
So let’s stop this now and fight for the end.

The poem has also been featured in an article on Nantwich News.
