This weekend (August Bank Holiday) there will be another choice to dine out in Chapel!

Newest stall on Chapel's Thursday Market is David O'Connor with a vanload of Superfresh Seafood from Fleetwood, hes so pleasant and helpful that you can hardly help but buy some!

Here next Thursday for Georges Day on the Market Place..

Those nice men from Excalon are digging a bloomin great trench through our Market and though it says "Business as Usual" its not really very usual!

 

When we first received notice of the work, laying a new electric supply down from Eccles Road, to Hayfied Road, we thought yippee, we are going to get the existing grotty Three phase connection through the Market replaced, that should help stop the regular power outages and failures we have always been plagued with!

 

 

Now however it seems that it's just a new "line", not a supply to local premises, (we guess it's more to do with New Housing than providing for existing residents…) Que sera..

 

 

If you come to the Market Place, you are likely to be a little confused by the mass of signage and barriers and cones, but don't be impatient, there is room for all.

 

In fact it's very noisy and dusty, and has been chaos for through traffic. (though we haven't a lot of sympathy for the "Cutter Throughers" who use the Market Place and Burrfields as simply a shortcut to Ferodo)

BUT and it's a major but, the guys doing the job are super helpful and do everything they can to "work around" the residents, so we ARE still here and we are still able to offer you all our normal services, (You may not be able to park outside the door, but really not very far), so DO NOT BE PUT OFF!

ComputerBits, Dark Mark, Barbers@19, Chapel Chippy, Chandlers, Care UK, The Roebuck" and even Stocks Cafe are all open and ready to serve.

 

Help plant trees by giving us your used Christmas cards for recycling.

Please help us take part in this years M & S and Woodland Trust scheme to plant new trees. For every 1000 Christmas cards recycled with them this year they will plant one tree, their goal for this year is to plant 10,000 trees. this means that all together 10 million Christmas cards are going to be needed to reach this goal.

This scheme will be on from the 2nd of January to the 31st so you need to bring your cards to ComputerBits or to an M & S store to get your cards recycled and help get the trees planted rather than just throwing them away.

Last year over 8.1 million cards where donated allowing them to plant 8,100 trees and they plan to do more this year so help out by donating your old Christmas cards.

Businesses we need your sponsorships for this year's annual bonfire!

Every year we must raise several hundred pounds to have a consistently decent firework display, and this funding can only come from local businesses and individuals. Fortunately, year upon year, the Chapel community provides a generous donation and we're now looking for sponsors for this year. We have two 'tiers' of donation: silver and gold. Gold sponsorships require £25 or more and feature you on our bonfire website. Donations can be made at . There is also a 'Name the Guy' competition, giving everyone a chance to pick a politician to stand in as our Guido Fawks and a bottle of champers for our winner.

Chapel-en-le-Frith is the latest place to take Totally Locally! A crack team of volunteers is already working late into the night to bring you the launch event on MayDay. Totally Locally is about opening your eyes to the great independent shops and businesses which grace Chapel-en-le-Frith and the nearby area. It’s here to encourage you to turn into the door of that shop you walk past every day. Go on, give it a try – there’s a good chance you’ll want to go back. It’s about supporting local growers, producers and services: be it furniture makers, farmers, accountants or bakers. Most of all though it’s about people. Great people. People who care about what they do, what they grow, what they make and ultimately the people they sell it to. And it’s about all of us. A collective responsibility of all of us to support these businesses. Because when we do our towns thrive. If you support a local shop or business, chances are they support at least ten others. And those ten support another ten each. It’s the very structure of what we have come to love about this area. Find out more about Totally Locally (more…)
