This week This is Rammy interviews Danny English of The CommuniTree Initiative.
Having grown up in Ramsbottom, there are very few places that Danny doesn’t know about, but when it came to finding a place for his community project (The CommuniTree Initiative) he found it wasn’t quite so straightforward as he might have expected.

Danny spent lots of time visiting areas of local woods and parks, but nothing quite felt right, that was until a local member of the Village Community Group in Summerseat was able to show him The Island, which just fit in perfectly with what Danny envisaged his project to be.

Google Maps Pac-Man April Fools

April 2, 2015 by Lee Leave a Comment

This year for 2015 Google, as always had many April Fools jokes, from the Google Panda to Google Maps Pac-Man. It’s the latter that I wanted to mention here, as not only is it a bit of fun for April Fools, it’s also very playable. To get to this, simply go to Google Maps and click on the Pac-Man box in the bottom right, this will put a small “Ready” outline on screen, this is where you’re going to play.

It’s a great little time waster, but I guess you could argue that it will help you to learn the area, shame the road names get removed, no doubt in part to keep with the theme of the original arcade game.

I took it for a spin around Ramsbottom, see if you can recognise the streets:

No to Ramsbottom AD Plant Posters

April 1, 2015 by Lee

Say NO to an AD Waste Plant Poster Preview
Say NO to an AD Waste Plant Poster Preview

The visit from the Planning Inspector was postponed today (01/04/2015), as such, we need EVERYONE in the community to ensure they have their NO TO AD posters up as they will be back TOMORROW MORNING, that means they have to go up tonight.

The Planning Inspector will then complete a report summarising the Inquiry which will be given to Eric Pickles, Secretary of State. A decision will then be made in June after the election.

You can get your No to Ramsbottom AD Plant Posters at the two links below, one is a PDF the other is a Word Document, whichever works for you is great, put as many up as you can, we need to stand together on this.

PDF Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByJwNLiF9UVwSVpzejN0VVpMZmc/view?usp=sharing

Word Docx Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByJwNLiF9UVwSWZIX2FUckZhY1U&authuser=0

We want everyone to be able to show the council and government, and most importantly the planners of the plant that we will not stand for a waste disposal plant on our doorstep!

We aim to keep Ramsbottom as a green belt, not a rubbish tip/green belt.

Go forth and print 🙂

Ramsbottom gets a Hooters

April 1, 2015 by Lee 3 Comments

HootersIts official! Ramsbottom gets a Hooters! Ramsbottom is to be the hub of the first Hooters in the North West. We’re just awaiting the planning permission ID from Bury Council so we can verify exactly what will be in it, but it’s looking like the only business willing to stump up the £22,000 a year in rent will be Hooters.

Opening hours have been granted between 10am and 2am, local residents have all agreed that although excessive for the area, they feel it is worth it to have such a big name in our small town.

The site of the Denise Smith lighting shop on the corner of Bridge Street and Bolton Street is the proposed site.

Hooters have declined to comment however they have provided a link for anyone looking for a job in a well established branded drinking and eating venue: 

So, anyone looking forward to the only other Hooters in the country being in Ramsbottom?

Let me know written on a sticky noteHey, I wondered if you could help?

I’ve been doing the podcast since March 2015, and I’d like to think that I’ve satisfied some of your interests however, I am always wanting to improve and provide as much relevancy to you as possible.

So on that note, here’s a quick poll to see what you personally would like to hear more of on the podcast in the future and I’ll lean more towards a focus on that content in future episodes.

Thanks for taking the time to submit your answers.
