News in Frodsham

The winners of the Ho Ho Scarecrow competition have been announced.

First prize went to Katy Leach, for her very lifelike depiction of Beauty and the Beast.

With the new lockdown looming, pub nights, cinema trips and shopping sprees are on hold once again.

But, as the festive season approaches, you can now temporarily escape the inside of your house by spending a pleasant hour picking out your perfect Christmas tree from Frodsham Christmas Trees.

Frodsham ward councillors, Lynn Riley, is urging local residents to sign the public petition against the proposed closure of Frodsham Leisure Centre.

In a blog post this weekend, Cllr Riley criticised Cheshire West and Chester Council's public consultation on the issue.

In March, the country entered its first lockdown.

People were prohibited from travelling far for their daily exercise. As a consequence, many new visitors discovered that we have a hidden gem in Frodsham: Hob Hey Wood.

The obvious answer is probably 'nothing'.

As we heard last night (Saturday 31st October), Thursday 5th November will mark the introduction of a new month-long lockdown.

Shall we let you into a secret?

Bulkeley Hill, with its soft woodland and peaceful views, is our favourite Sandstone Trail walk.

On Monday 2nd November, Frodsham Morrisons will join other stores around the country in offering a 10% discount for school teachers.

All primary and secondary school staff, including office staff and caretakers, will be eligible for this reward if they show their photo ID at the checkout. This reward will be available until 3rd January 2021.

As the number of Covid-19 infection rates continue to rise across the county, members of the public are being encouraged to find other ways to celebrate the spooky festivities safely this Halloween.

That's the message from Cheshire Police, who also want to dissuade people from trick or treating on Halloween night to avoid people mixing in large groups or knocking on the doors of those who are self-isolating.

We're very lucky in Frodsham to be sitting right on the doorstep of the Marsh, whose rich and varied wildlife surges and recedes with the changing tides and seasons.

Frodsham Marsh has long been a source of inspiration for local artist, Bill Morton, who has been drawing its birds since childhood.
