Pleased to report a stop has now been put of the crushing machine until adequate measures are taken to stop it impacting on many local residents.
I first raised my latest concerns about this in Mid April.
Shame it has taken the Council so long to take action, but better late than never.
My most recent on this from 28 April is below.
Demolition of former Very site Shaw – Linney Lane – Howard Sykes (mycouncillor.org.uk)
Pleased to report that the fallen tree has now been removed.
May 8, 2023. Victory in Europe Day – also known as VE Day – celebrates the Allied Forces accepting the Nazi’s unconditional surrender from World War 2. The final document was signed on 8 May 1945.
Let us never forgot those who gave their lives so we might enjoy the freedoms we have today.
All the very best to the King on his Coronation today.
Hope you all enjoy the Coronation weekend and Bank Holiday.
Good save the King!

On the Parish council in Shaw I am (Howard Sykes) pleased to have been returned for East Ward along with my colleague Joe Beeston. The other four seats went to the ‘so called’ Independents.
In Crompton ward in the Parish elections I am very pleased to see the election of Tom Penketh (youngest councillor in the country), Keith Swift, Louie Hamblett and Diane Williamson. The other three seats went to the ‘so called’ Independents.
Thank YOU to all who supported us and our work for Shaw and Crompton – it is appreciated and we will do our very best to continue to fight and deliver for our community.
Temporary Order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended, the effect of which will be to prohibit vehicles from proceeding along that part of Victoria Street Shaw from a point 20 metres from its junction with Osborne Street for 25 metres generally northerly. The alternative route will be via Farrow Street/Chamber Road/Rochdale Road B6194.
The Order is to be made because of Electricity North West connection works and will be in force for 2 weeks from 9th May 2023, or until the works have been completed, whichever is the earlier.
