News in Frodsham

Tonight (Monday 15 February) marked the first in a series of community meetings aimed at developing draft options for future leisure, health, wellbeing and library services in Frodsham.

The meeting followed November's Cheshire West and Chester Council Cabinet meeting, where a new 'hub and spoke' model for the borough's sports facilities was approved, and it was suggested that Frodsham Leisure Centre would stay open 'on a limited basis in the short term'.

SEVENTEEN drivers were caught speeding on Fluin Lane today (Monday) during a police crackdown.

Police say that the highest recorded speed was 45mph travelling in the 30mph zone.

ARTS groups in Frodsham are being invited to attend an online networking event.

Cheshire West Voluntary Arts Network is running the event, with the support of Cheshire West and Chester Council, on Thursday, February 25 via Zoom from 6.30 to 8pm.

Without the structure of online classes, and with all family attractions closed, entertaining the children may seem a near impossible task this half term.

To help fill any empty days, our local libraries service has put together a programme of online activities for children and parents to enjoy.

VisitBritain CEO Sally Balcombe writes for Nub News:

"As we approach the February half term, a time when many of us would usually have been looking forward to a short-break away, the impact on the industry and the economy from the loss of tourism again comes into sharp focus.

This year's February half term, which begins tomorrow, Monday 15, promises to be a challenge for many families for obvious reasons.

However, there is a wide range of support available to parents across the borough who feel that you may need it.

A famous proverb says that even 'a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step', and in light of the most recent updates in Cheshire's Covid-19 fightback, it's especially apt this weekend.

That's because the last Local Democracy Reporting Service Weekend Feature examined Cheshire's coronavirus position and predicted it was facing a cross-roads, in light of slowing infection rates and quickening vaccinations.
