Regent
Street Garages
The Council is keen to improve the visual outlook of the garages area at
back Regent Street for the general benefit of the village. A new plan
of the area is in the process of being completed with the position
of all the garages shown in the correct locations with available spaces
indicated where new garages might be positioned in the future. The
Council is aware that the area is not typical of the village and is
in need of a major facelift. The improvements that the Council aim
to put in place will, however, take a number of years to complete but
the council is keen to set out a vision of what the garage area may
look like in the future. Possible improvements will require that new
garages be erected on a concrete base slightly raised above the surrounding
ground level and conforming to specific materials of construction such
as pebble dashed concrete or steel and a maximum garage height specification
to give an improved profile to the area both from the back of Regent
Street and Meadow Lane. Is the Council moving in the right direction?
What do you think?

Neighbour's Credit Union
CNCU opened its doors in Moulton on Wednesday 24th Sept in the village
hall. The Credit Union is a not-for-profit organisation sponsored by
the government, the Financial Services Agency and local councils to
encourage people to save. With the credit crunch hitting everybody,
this member-owned co-operative is an attractive alternative to doorstep
loan companies, as loans at low rates are available to savers. For
more information turn up at the next meeting, find the notices at the
Co-op and village hall notice boards, or call Jackie Lewis, 598041
or Sarah Polese, 869752. Future meetings will be fortnightly in the
hall from 6-7pm (dates fixed from November are: Nov 5th, Nov 19th,
Dec 3rd, Dec 17th 2008 and Jan 15th 2009) www.cheshire-neighbours.co.uk/

Moulton British Legion
As a member of the British Legion Branch committee (separate from the BL
Club committee) it is felt that the Branch would benefit from an influx
of new younger members to take the BL forward into the new millennium.
This very worthwhile organization is deserving of support to help those
Service men and women who have given so much to this country of ours over
the years.
Anyone interested in joining the Branch or its Committee should contact
a member of the current Committee who are Geoff Crompton (Secretary Moulton
BL Branch) Renee Bennett, Arthur Birchall Dave Hough, Eve Kenyon and Jim
Yarwood

catalogues the 30 annual camps from 1970 to 1999.
It abounds with pictures of those who attended, camp scenes and much more.
In particular the book contains over 100 stories, mostly humorous, involving
both members and staff.
The book can be purchased from Moulton Post Office, Moulton Co-Op and
from Geoff himself (01606 76818) as well as from VRBC at 1, the Arcade,
Northwich.
Cost is £6.00 with all profits to be split evenly between the NSPCC
and MAG. |
