As the first anniversary of the initial COVID lockdown approaches, plans are being developed in west Cheshire to commemorate those who have lost their lives and everyone who has been impacted by the virus.

Tuesday 23 March has been chosen as a National Day of Reflection by charity Marie Curie, who is asking people to 'take a minute to reflect and a moment to connect' by joining in with minute's silence at 12 noon, shining a light at 8pm or reflecting on the last year in their own way.

More than two in five Cheshire NHS staff felt ill due to work-related stress as the coronavirus pandemic took hold last year, according to a health service survey.

The annual NHS staff survey has revealed that 44 per cent at Warrington and Halton Hospitals, 44 per cent of workers at the Countess of Chester Trust, and 41 per cent of those with the Cheshire and Wirral Partnership Trust said they had felt unwell in the past 12 months as a result of work-related stress.

Today (Sunday 21 March), Hatley Lane will be closed for 20 metres either side of the railway bridge to enable Network Rail Ltd to inspect the bridge.

Until this stretch of the road is reopened, it will be access-only.

Church Street will be closed for 20 metres either side of the railway bridge on Sunday 21 March 2021 to enable Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd to inspect the bridge.

Another week, another walk. This time, our route draws us up and over the rolling fields around Manley and Alvanley, skirting pretty woodland and criss-crossing glittering streams as we go.

The walk is about four miles long, and is quite muddy in parts, so be sure to wear waterproof footwear!

The days are getting longer, the weather's getting warmer (sort of) the bumblebees are buzzing about and the sound of birdsong is in the air. Spring is here!

As the natural world awakens and emerges from its winter hibernation, the signs of the season are all around us. Our green spaces, gardens and hedgerows are bursting into colour, just what we need to lift our spirits after the long winter on lockdown.
