United Utilities have asked the Parish Council to publicise this free service to their customers. If you know of anyone who could benefit from this service please pass on the information below.
Heard of our Priority Services Register?
As you know, United Utilities is the water and wastewater company that serves over 7 million customers in over 3 million homes right across the North West, and we have been doing a lot over the past couple of years to improve our services in giving more support to those who need it most.
We all need a little bit of extra help at some stage in our lives. This could be due to age, ill health, a disability, mental health problems, financial worries or even language barriers. By registering for our free Priority Services scheme, customers could benefit from additional free services from us, to support their particular needs, including:
For customers with internet access, there’s even an online accessibility tool, changing the look of our website to suit their needs. All they have to do is click on the ‘Accessibility Help’ button on the bottom right of each page of our website.
You don’t even have to be the account holder to join and registration really couldn’t be easier. You can either:
Cheshire East Highways have informed us that the scheme to install a safe area for pedestrians to cross the Station Bridge and traffic lights is on hold. We received the following explanation directly from Cheshire East Highways last week.
“The scheme was programmed in to commence on site in March 2019, however after meeting with the Contractors on site to discuss the buildability aspects of the scheme, it became apparent that it would not be possible to implement the scheme as per the original design. This is mainly down to the complexities of the site in terms of the highway boundary extents.
We have therefore had no option but to place the scheme on hold while we investigate other options in order to ensure that we design and deliver a workable solution that is safe for all road users.
I appreciate this is not the news you wanted to hear, however I can assure you that we are working hard to explore other options to enable the scheme to be constructed”.
We are extremely disappointed in this new delay, however, we are in regular contact with Cheshire East Highways to establish when a “buildable” scheme can be implemented.
Please be advised that the Parish Office is closed from 24th December 2018 to 1pm on 2nd January 2019.
If you need to contact the Parish Council urgently please e-mail the Clerk at parishcouncil@goostrey.info or call on 07834230351.
We have been informed by our CEC Highways contact that the bell mouth of Bank View will be repaired on Tuesday 11th December, this is not one of the scheduled works on the CEC Highways website.
As there are other road surface repairs required along the length of Bank View we have asked if these can be repaired at the same time but as yet we have not received a reply.
You may be aware that Councillor Graham Lenihan sadly passed away on Friday 30th November, after a short illness. We send our sincere condolences to his wife and family, and hold them in out thoughts at this difficult time.
Graham was elected onto the Parish Council in May 2011 and sat on most of the Council’s committees during his two terms of office. He had a warm personality, an affable nature and a great sense of humour and was always ready to volunteer for Council duties.
Graham was involved with a number of Village groups including the Goostrey Parish Archive Group and the Gooseberry Society.
He will be greatly missed by us all.
Graham’s family has asked that we publish the date and time of the funeral which will take place on 11th December 2018 at 11.00am at St Luke’s Church, Goostrey.
Everyone is welcome to attend the funeral and after at the Crown to raise a glass to Graham and bid him a fond farewell.
