Diamond Jubilee Celebrations
The comprehensive programme for Poynton’s celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, from Friday 1st June to Tuesday 5th June, is now available, and was distributed with the latest Poynton Post. Copies are available from the Civic Hall, as are tickets for various events. Apart from an arts and music festival at various venues around the village, there will be a ‘Big Jubilee Lunch’ on Park Lane on Sunday 3rd June from noon until 3pm. Bring your own picnic and garden chairs – food and drink should also be available from our restaurants, cafes and takeaways. St George’s Church will be holding a ‘Songs of Praise’ service later that day, at 6.30pm on Sunday 3rd June. Unfortunately this was omitted from the official programme, so please make a note, and do go along if you can. There will also be a number of events at Poynton Sports Club over the Jubilee weekend, including a beacon lighting on Monday evening 4th June. The time of the beacon lighting will be advised when known. Further details of the celebration can be found on the event website – www.poyntonfestival.org

Public Transport Consultation
|
|
Tuesday, 08 May 2012 09:53 |
|
Cheshire East Council’s Business Plan for 2012 – 15 includes a saving of £500,000 on local bus services, some 10% of which receive some level of subsidy from Cheshire East. These include routes 390, 391, 392 and 393, as well as services 71 and 891 from Tytherington and Middlewood to the High School. A consultation, which also covers flexible and community transport has been launched, and it will run until 22nd June. The purpose of the consultation is “to review all the public transport services supported by the Council to understand the impact if any of these services were changed, provided in a different way, or no longer existed”. Further details, including a survey, can be found on line at www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/travel . Copies of the documentation and survey can be obtained from the Civic Hall or from the library next door. We would also encourage our residents to attend a drop in surgery at the Civic Hall from 2pm to 4pm and from 5pm to 7pm on Tuesday 22nd May. Cheshire East Council staff will be on hand at these sessions to discuss all aspects of the consultation with you, and record your feedback. |
