MOTORISTS are still driving too fast on Middlewich roads, say police. Officers carried out a speed check in St Michael s Way and recorded vehicles breaking the 30mph limit. Even in pouring rain, many failed to slow down. A police spokesman said: Your local officer has been conducting speed enforcement with the trucam device on St Michael s Way. Despite the weather conditions, a number of vehicles were found to be exceeding it unfortunately. Officers have also been monitoring the speed of traffic in King Street. Residents across the town have raised their concerns on social media about drivers travelling too fast.
Local musicians have teamed up to perform a special charity show. Rock The Lockdown raised £500 for Middlewich Foodbank last March. Middlewich Labour is organising another similar event on Saturday, January 30 in aid of Middlewich Round Table. Photo Booth Smile will headline supported by Gareth Heesom, Christie Bratherton, Kieran Davies and Frank Quilty.
Gareth Heesom So many local musicians offered to sing, another gig is already in the pipeline. Cllr Jonathan Parry said: I love my music and had quite a lot of tickets for concerts last year which were postponed. This is the next best thing. We want to showcase local artists and give them a platform. We had more artists than we could use for this gig so we hope to run another one in February if this one goes well.
A team of enthusiastic volunteers introduced measures to keep everyone safe by wearing masks and social distancing. Everyone adapted so well and stuck to the guidelines, said Josh. We absolutely love doing this every year and this time it was extra special as everyone needed some Christmas cheer.
Middlewich Round Table Santa Sleight
Everyone was praised for sticking to the new Covid safety guidelines It s lovely that the people of Middlewich have rallied round to help those less fortunate than themselves. Hundreds of children waved and cheered as Santa visited streets across the town for seven nights. The Round Table would like to thank various businesses which supported the event.
SANTA will be making his last visit to Middlewich this evening. Hundreds of children have enjoyed waving to him as he sleighed round town on his festive float during the past two weeks. New Covid regulations failed to dampen spirits as families dressed up Christmas costumes and reindeer antlers to greet him. Middlewich Round Table has been inundated with food donations for the Salvation Army.
