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!

Ramsbottom Cycle Shop due to open. Carl Ashworth, owner of The Bike Fitting Room in Prestwich is opening a shop in Ramsbottom in the former premises of DJ Cycles on Bolton Road West.
The current plan is to have it open for the first week of April, providing sales, servicing, repairs and free coffee to cyclists on a Sunday morning between between 9-10.
The Bike Fitting Room will be based here by appointment, private maintenance sessions by appointment and no doubt Carl will bring other ideas forward once he gets going. Great to see a bike shop opening up again in Ramsbottom.
In what year was Ramsbottom formally made a town?
The answer to this episodes #notacompetitionquizquestion is revealed later on in the podcast episode.

Hope you enjoy it, and please do share it if you like what I do.

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.
