Madeley Heath Phonebox to be Removed

In this day and age as most people have mobile phones local call boxes fall out of use. Amongst a recent list of those in North Staffordshire to go is the phonebox at Madeley Heath. Perhaps the door can be salvaged to replace the one that appears to have been taken without permission from outside All Saint's church?

More help needed for new village hall project

Your Interactive Input

A group set up to investigate a plan for new community facilities in Madeley, near Newcastle, is seeking extra help from local people.

A committee has been formed to discuss the overall plans for a major new village hall, costing up to £1 million. In addition, a number of smaller groups is being set up to advise on different aspects of the plans. These include groups investigating potential funding for the scheme, a group studying the detailed planning and design of both the building itself and the land surrounding the present hall. Other groups are looking at the environmental and recycling aspects of the proposal while another is linking in with the highly-acclaimed Madeley High School which is also involved in the proposal. However, the chairman of the project committee, Roger Goodwin, says there are a number of fields of expertise which are not fully represented and he is seeking assistance from other villagers who are prepared to offer help.

The help needed is particularly in the fields of: financial accounting, the business plan and its links to local government, project management, and music, theatre and recreation.

Mr Goodwin said: "I feel sure there are people in the area who could offer their expertise in these fields and we would be delighted if they came forward to help the community. "We are not expecting people to give too many hours of their valuable time and the more people who come forward, the better. Of course, we would welcome anyone who feels they have any expertise which they believe would be of use to get in touch with us."

Anyone who wants to offer any help should either e-mail madeleynewhall@btinternet.com or write to Roger Goodwin, The Old Vicarage, Vicarage Lane, Madeley, Crewe, Cheshire CW3 9PQ.
