Market Street Gazebo Covered Stalls for just £7 at this year’s Goldenhill Fun Day on Saturday 2nd August, 12 Noon Onwards. Please Note! Stalls are going fast, which are under cover and we provide a table and gazebo at no extra cost, which means those who book first are assured of a pitch. Unfortunately last year a number of people were turned away and 50% of the stalls are already taken.   The Commissioner’s Independent Scrutiny Panels are looking for a diverse group of people to scrutinise Police powers including the use of stop & search, strip search and powers within custody.

Find out more or apply: Independent Scrutiny Panels – Staffordshire Commissioner (staffordshire-pfcc.gov.uk)  Eyesore containers at a local tyre business on Goldenhill High Street have now been removed, which is much to the delight of local residents. A big thank you needs to go to Stoke on Trent City Council’s Planning Department who have overseen the removal of the containers with a time period of 28 days. The High Street tyre business respected the decision made by the council to remove the containers, although a number of residents would like the tyres on show to go, but in defence of the company, it has to be accepted that they are a legitimate establishment wanting to earn a living.  ‘Thundery showers’ are set to rock Stoke-on-Trent today.

The residents association and your local councillor, Chandra Kanneganti would encourage anyone witnessing damage taking place to report it to Staffordshire Police on 101.

Sandyford based Churchill China are supporting Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association in this years Goldenhill Fun Day, which is on Saturday 2nd August by donating money to replace three gazebos, and payment to hire the much loved Gladiator Duel. Churchill China have also offered valuable manpower where its staff have agreed to erect and dismantle gazebos where 30 stalls operate next to the village green, as well as engaging with activities across the event. As a residents association, it is great that a local company such as Churchill China wants to support its community on this special day of the year where everyone comes together, and not forgetting donations to the event from Councillor Chandra Kanneganti’s ward budget and Sandyford McDonald’s. This year we have asked David Williams M.P. to officially open the event for us, and we trust that residents and many visitors across the area will come and enjoy the day as they have done so since the very first one back in 2007.
