News in Frodsham

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.

The Traveller's Rest

A new community road safety group is set to be established in Frodsham to help educate drivers on how to use the area's roads safely.

Police and Crime Commissioner, David Keane, has awarded funding to the existing community speed watch scheme to expand the support they offer tackling road safety issues in the community.

Calls have been made to improve the standards of councillor conduct by a major local government organisation.

The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) has written an open letter to Robert Jenrick, Local Government Minister, urging government to 'bring forward changes to the current standards regime governing conduct in local government'.

Today (Friday 12 February) is Chinese New Year, the first day of the Year of the Ox.

Occurring every 12 years, Ox years are supposedly characterised by grit, endurance and movement, qualities which seem more important now than ever before.
