Ramsbottom Police Station plans and how a Banana made a difference – Episode 86

Welcome to This is Rammy, the podcast dedicated to Ramsbottom, the small town just North of Manchester.

The plans for Ramsbottom Police Station have been approved. The application is for two ground floor shops as well as eight apartments above. The style is mentioned to be in keeping with how the area would have originally looked.

If you remember, the person who purchased the land in February last year when the Police Station was auctioned off was our very own Councillor Rob Hodkinson and his wife.

One comment that Rob said back in November 2015 as written in Bury Times was:

But Ramsbottom MP David Nuttall and Ramsbottom ward councillors Ian Bevan and Rob Hodkinson have raised concerns about the plans to sell the building, fearing a rise in crime if there is no police presence in the town.

How do you feel about this? I was looking at the planning permission and reading through the comments, several people have complained about the drainage on the current site as well as several people complaining about the fact the proposed building will be much bigger than the existing bank.

Work has already started on Ramsbottom Police Station

Sweets and awards but no pies – Episode 77

[spp-player]

It’s my family’s two year anniversary of moving to Ramsbottom, and it’s been an eventful one so far. I’ve been to many festivals, our son learnt to walk and talk, we’ve got to meet some fantastic people, drink some fantastic drink and eat some fantastic food. I started this podcast and won an award for it (which I’m still surprised about to this day.)

So, I guess to sum up, thanks for welcoming us into your town.

Speaking of awards and fantastic food, did you see that both Levanter and The Eagle and Child picked up awards at this year’s Manchester Food and Drink awards?

Yes Glen Duckets Eagle and Child picked up Best Food Pub of the Year and Levanter came away with Neighbourhood Restaurant of the year. Two fantastic awards for two very well deserving places.

EagleandChildAwardsGlen might need to rethink where he’s going to keep all his awards though as they really are stacking up on his window sill.

Bury Times reports that Councillor Hodgkinson spoke up at a recent council meeting with regards to the condition of Bridge Street.

Speaking for Ramsbottom, Councillor Robert Hodgkinson raised the subject of the double yellow lines on Bridge Street since recent repairs:

The recent work carried out at the top of Bridge Street included reinstating the missing yellow lines. It was not done in accordance with our conservation policy.

We now have a patchwork of missing, worn, bright, yellow, wide and narrow lines.

Ramsbottom was on high alert after a large ball of fire was seen in the sky. It hung there throughout the day bringing warmth and causing people to leave the house without a coat. Naturally I’m referring to the fact that the sun came out in Ramsbottom, which in recent months is a rarity, and it didn’t even rain!

The sun was likely much welcomed at the wedding I witnessed going on at St Paul’s Church (I can only imagine what this Bride thought when they heard of the news that Bridge Street would be closed for their happy day. Check out the photo of the car on the show notes.) If all that didn’t have you skipping slightly as you walked down the streets, it was also Thomas the Tank Engine weekend on the East Lancs Railway.

So that was this weekend, what other things have gone on recently and what events are coming up?

On the morning of the 4th of July, The Venetian in Ramsbottom suffered a devastating fire which ripped the heart out of the restaurant. I wrote about it on the day it happened and managed to catch up with Paolo yesterday to see how things are getting on and what the plan is for the future.
