Rotary Biddulph is grateful for the on-going support of the Biddulph Methodist Church and the Victoria Centre.
Over the last few years, the Victoria Centre has opened its doors to the Rotary Club to enable it to hold their annual ‘Youth Speaks’ event at the Centre, when children from Biddulph schools take part in a public speaking competition as part of a National Rotary Youth Speaks Competition.
The Victoria Centre also hosted, for the first time this year, the annual Rotary Acorn Award ceremony. This event recognises the achievements of the youth of Biddulph in accepting nominations for those who are deemed to be deserving of public recognition for their individual, or team, achievements during the previous year. This prestigious award ceremony is held annually in May each year and following the success of this year’s ceremony, will again be held at the Victoria Centre in 2016.

Cheshire East Council’s highways teams will be working around the clock this winter to keep the Borough’s roads safe for motorists.
The end of October marked the start of the winter maintenance season in Cheshire East. Duty officers are working to dispatch gritters to treat the Borough’s road network in response to any winter weather conditions.
Cheshire East highways teams treat a total of 1,090km of primary roads across the Borough’s network. Gritting takes place on a precautionary basis to stop ice forming and snow is dealt with using specialist equipment such as snow blowers, all-terrain quad bikes with attachable snowploughs and towable gritters for footways and roads with restricted access.
