If you’ve been pining for for pastry treats since the loss of Bartisserie in Ramsbottom, well you might just be in luck.
Businesses in Ramsbottom come and go, it’s sad that we have to lose one for another to come in, especially when some of the businesses have been around for decades.
This time, we lost Zara Cakes having originally opened in March 2019 but what is going to come in April this year is called La Petite Patisserie.

Transdev have announced that the critical Bus route Red Express has been rescued and essentially improved with a faster route during rush hour.
Transdev/Rosso have announced that with newly elected MPs and local authority partners, a rescue package was launched for Red Express to keep fast, direct buses between Accrington, Haslingden, Ramsbottom and Manchester.
I spoke with Transdev CEO Alex Hornby last year with regards to the news at the time that the Red Express was to cease to run.
This is fantastic news for Ramsbottom especially given the obvious congestion on our roads and goals being set by Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham outlining Greater Manchester to be carbon-neutral by 2038.

These photos were taken around 5:30pm on January 21st.
Hopefully not too much damage has been caused and everyone’s clothes were safe.
Tre Ciccio have provided a statement regarding the article in Altrincham Today:
Update: The landlord of the Ramsbottom Tre Ciccio has indicated this via social in regards to the report in Altrincham Today:
Tre Ciccio enter administration reports Altincham Today
I was shocked at this, and as the article itself states: ” The news will come as a major surprise for many, with Tre Ciccio seemingly having proved one of the town’s success stories”
I am conscious that running a restaurant is extremely difficult, especially in these times given recent similar reports in the news regarding Jamie’s Italian and Pizza Express
Initially I thought that this was just affecting the Altrincham restaurant however the article states:
“Patrick Lannagan and Conrad Pearson of Mazars LLP, the accounting and advisory firm, have been appointed as joint administrators for the Moss Lane restaurant, as well as its two sister restaurants in Ramsbottom and Bramhall.”

Altrincham Today is not a publication I’m familiar with and there’s nothing on Companies House yet from what I can see.
The article also states:
No redundancies will be made while this process takes place…. Trading at the Altrincham and Ramsbottom restaurants will continue as normal while we assess the financial position of the businesses.
