No Podcast This Week

May 8, 2016 by Lee Leave a Comment

ThisIsRammyLogo300px

I’m afraid there is no podcast this week, I’ve been busy with several things and not yet had chance to edit the interview with Simon Holland to the quality that you deserve, so I’ve taken the decision that it would be better to postpone it, plus there doesn’t appear to be any events coming up in the near future but always keep an eye on the events calendar just incase.

In the meantime, if you are after a podcast fix, why not check out the archives?

Thanks, and speak to you next week.

Tory Councillor Ian Schofield wins local election

May 6, 2016 by Lee Leave a Comment

It was a long day for those involved with no less than two recounts being requested finishing around 2:15am. A fantastic effort by the volunteers after another election ends in recount:

The final result after the two recounts was:

  • David Barker (UKIP) 372
  • Karen Leach (Lab) 1658
  • Ian Schofield (Con) 1695
  • Zarrin Shannon (Green) 141

Ian is a local man who lives on Peel Brow and has been seen out and about locally delivering the InTouch Conservative new leaflets.

With the results all in the final standing for seats is as follows for Bury Council:

  • Labour 32 seats
  • Lib Dems 3 seats
  • Conservatives 16 seats

I hope that Ian is able to bring to Ramsbottom everything promised in his campaign and above all serves the people.

Roadworks expected to cause misery for a further week

May 3, 2016 by Lee Leave a Comment

Roadworks on Manchester Road in Ramsbottom are expected to be in place until the 10th of May causing many delays and frustration for drivers especially at rush hour.

Road Works

The frequently repaired stretch of road is currently being worked on by Electricity North West who have yet to comment on the cause of the repairs but it’s likely to be damaged cables although they have recently been replacing cables in a large upgrade project.

From “bunkbeds” to fearing if the person smiling at you was about to kill you, London provided a lot of “entertainment” for Helen in her 15 years there, but despite all that excitement she felt it was time to come back up North where she was originally from and get to know a community.

I was so used to London, where if someone talked to you on the bus, you thought they were going to kill you.

 

Living in Ramsbottom has provided not only fantastic views for Helen whilst she works from home, but also a real sense of community that I’ve heard many people say you just don’t get in a big city like London.

It’s Ramson Day! I know, it’s the day you’ve all been waiting for with Christmas coming a close second, but seriously, hear me out. If you’re listening to this when it is released, Sunday the 24th of April, get yourself down to Ramsbottom Station where Incredible Edible will be cooking up a storm using locally foraged Allium Ursinum (which sounds like something out of Harry Potter); this is better known as Wild Garlic, which is also known as the Ramsbottom namesake the Ramson.
