MONEY MAXIMISING ROADSHOW

Stockport Council are hosting roadshows at Bramhall & Cheadle libraries next week. They have a variety of services offering support and advice around benefit, energy, debt and digital queries, as well as Age UK offering support with Blue Badge applications and more.

CHELWOOD FOOD BANK

Mrs Hilton has been speaking to one of the ladies at the foodbank today. After their Harvest collections they have lots and lots of food available.

You can self-refer by completing the form on Chelwood's website. ID and proof of address is needed in addition to evidence of financial hardship.

Alternatively you can come and ask school to refer you. Please ask to speak to Mrs Conley or Mrs Hilton.

Families are given 4 bags of food for a week. They also have things like nappies, toiletries and pet food.

The entrance is now round the back of the Chelwood Baptist church.

Opening times are:

Tuesday and Wednesday 10:00am until 2:00pm

Thursday 12:00 until 2:00pm

Operation Eagle Eye

Stockport Council have launched Operation Eagle Eye.

Operation Eagle Eye is a high visibility educational initiative. Working with officers, groups of pupils help to monitor traffic around their school and support enforcement of offences such as:

Speed: Encouraging drivers to slow down

Mobile Phones: Ensuring drivers switch off their phones or hand held devices before turning on their engines

Failure to wear seat belts: Reminding drivers that not wearing a seatbelt can be fatal even on short, familiar journeys and at low speeds

Illegal parking: Encouraging drivers to park legally, considerately and safely

Join your friends and neighbours and sign up to Operation Eagle Eye’s four safer driving commandments – it will mean fewer and less serious accidents on Stockport’s roads. Click here to sign The Pledge.
