Further details regarding Santander branch closure

January 26, 2019 by Lee 3 Comments

You’ll no doubt have seen or heard the news recently that Santander, currently the last remaining bank in Ramsbottom is to close.

This was reported in The Bury Times as well as other media outlets.

In the last few days, letters have started to arrive through customers doors.

It’s a shame that these letters are arriving after the news was broken via other means, but I can understand that they want to try to manage the publicity on this.

I’ve pulled out some of the information and documents regarding this closure below as well as identifying that the document created regarding the closures was done so in December.

Latest Food Hygiene Ratings for Ramsbottom

January 24, 2019 by Lee Leave a Comment

The Bury Times has recently published an up to date list of food establishments taken from the Food Standards Agency website of various Food Hygiene ratings for Bury.

Rather than just throw a link in your face, I thought I’d go through and provide a Ramsbottom specific list for you. I’ve removed some which are listed as Ramsbottom but are a little outside the area so I’ve trimmed the list.

Thankfully, we currently have no one or two star ratings in Ramsbottom and the vast majority of our ratings are in the five and four star ratings.

Helping the homeless in Bury with WiNS

Freedom Church – Home of WiNS (Google Street View)

Tonight I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Lucie Holland, one of the members of WiNS (Winter Night Shelter) for Bury.

This all came about due to me having a bit of a clear out of a few bits and bobs (two bluetooth speakers and a wireless photo frame). No longer any use to me, but if anyone could make use of them, they were welcome to them.

I listed these on a Facebook group and Lucie replied indicating that they would be very useful for any homeless people that are being rehomed to help to make their new place a little more homely.

Naturally, I was more than happy that these items could go on to be of some use to someone in need. I didn’t know much about WiNS at the time, but have since discovered more about it so thought I’d share it.

WiNS is based out of Freedom Church in Bury, if you’re not aware of it, you’ve almost certainly driven past it at some point. It’s located next to Wickes on Walmersley Road, across the road from the old bury fire station.
