World autism awareness week

Councillor Sykes and Councillor Hamblett are celebrating world Autism week, Councillor Hamblett who has Asperger’s Syndrome says “that such events shine a light on those with hidden disabilities and those who need a helping hand to get on with day-to-day life.”


World Autism Awareness Week is an internationally recognised day taking place on 2 April every year. In the week of 1 – 7 April surrounding this day, we encourage the public to take part in World Autism Awareness Week – a full seven days where people across the UK take part in activities to raise money and awareness for the National Autistic Society. 

St Paul’s road closure – update 29 March

Shaw District Centre – Rochdale Road Diversion Routes

There are two diversion routes in place, one for daytime (8am – 8pm) and one nightime (8pm – 8am)

Day time Diversion 8am – 8pm – Beal Lane, Grains Road, Hillside Avenue, Buckstones Road, Milnrow Road, Crompton Way – in both directions.

Evening Diversion 8pm – 8am   (in bound) – High Street, Westway Rochdale Road, Beal Lane(out bound)- Beal Lane, Eastway, Greenfield Lane, High Street.

Hopefully this allows parking for many residents after 8pm, that was prevented before the post 8pm alternative route was agreed. The works are progressing and hopefully the road will be open in the next few weeks.

Countryside Volunteer Rangers Crompton Moor – Sunday 31 March

Hope you can join me this Sunday, our event being the creation of new drainage for the footpath adjacent to Whitesides, to the adjacent brook.

The weather forecast for Sunday is sunny intervals and a gentle breeze, likely temperature of 5º/9º and 6/7 mph winds so ensure you have your favourite hot & or cold liquids, warm clothing, appropriate footwear and a packed lunch if you are up for the day – it may feel colder than it really is depending on where we are on the moor.

If you have any issues that you may wish to discuss prior to Sunday, please do not hesitate to email (on either address) or text / phone me on 07961107860.

For those of you that have not already done so, please could you let me know if you intend to join us on the day.

I look forward to seeing you in the Crompton Moor Car Park from 10.30 onwards on Sunday. Thank you.

Kindest Regards – Edward John Fulton (aka Ed / Eddie). Countryside Volunteer Ranger, (Mob) 07961 107860 [Calls may be recorded], (Text) 07961 107860, (Fax)  01706 661813, (E)  edward@edwardjohnfulton.uk , (E) edward.fulton@btinternet.uk
