With halfterm school holidays on the way, you can pretty much always expect some roadworks to be happening around Ramsbottom.
This time, there is a bit of digging going to be happening on Nuttall Lane, potentially adding a few extra minutes to your commute if you live down in the Nuttall Lane/Whittingham Drive estate areas.
Thanks to roadworks.org you can find out the details of these roadworks.
Nuttall Lane Roadworks 30 May – 3 Jun 2019
We’re no stranger to roadworks here in Ramsbottom (sadly), but what’s different this time is there are some roadworks planned which could clash with the Ramsbottom Chocolate Festival! The worst time possible, when we should be expecting “HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS!”
The only DOUBLEDECKER you see down bridge street will be the one covered in chocolate cleverly crafted into an artisan muffin!

It’s a nightmare scenario, you’re just about to sit down with your tea to watch Antiques Roadshow when the world goes dark!
No, this isn’t a Brexit scenario (although if you’re to believe some information, this could be on the cards in the future). What’s happened is the power has gone out. Here on my road it was only off for less than a second (however this happened three times), but it was enough to reset most of the digital clocks in the house.

Businesswoman Zara Neild Ingham has brought her business Zara Cakes to Ramsbottom.
Opening in the premises that has been amongst other things a lingerie shop and clothing alterations shop it is situated just a couple of doors down from the recently opened Tre Ciccio.
Zara Cakes is open from Friday the 15th of March 2019, if you’re quick enough you can also get a 20% discount and some free Prosecco to celebrate their opening day.
Originally starting baking cakes from her kitchen over 9 years ago and having a team now you’d think that she could sit back, not at all. Zara is still very much hands on helping out with baking, cleaning, delivering, whatever is required.

Sometimes it feels like rarely a day goes by in Ramsbottom without a new bar, restaurant or coffee shop opening, this month is no different. Nestled between Pizza Nova and Woodholme Supplies, opposite St Paul’s Church you’ll find The Ram in the old Ramsbottom Flooring premises. If I recall correctly, Ramsbottom Flooring struggled to get back on their feet after the boxing day floods (comments below if I’m wrong).
