Staffordshire Police have reported that Goldenhill Community Centre is full of donations regarding the fire damaged properties, and request for the time being people stop donating. The plan at present is to sort out anyone who is affected with what they need, and then it is proposed to hold a Jumble sale to raise funds for repairs later. Local community comes together to support the many families who have been forced to leave their properties for their own safety in Sandy Road, Sandyford. Councillor Chandra Kanneganti, Members of Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association, Council Leader Jane Ashworth and Amanda Hewitt Representing David Williams M.P. have all visited the affected area as well as Goldenhill Community Centre where people have made donations to support those residents who need it. It is believed the fire was caused by a portable BBQ, but this is yet to be confirmed. Residents affected have been placed in temporary accommodation by Stoke on Trent City Council, and along with them, local residents, residents association, politicians, Staffordshire Police and Fire Service, along with numerous businesses in the area are offering much needed support to everyone who requires it.

A Local Plan is a document produced by a local planning authority that sets out the vision, policies, and framework for future development in a specific area. Before the council can adopt a Local Plan, it must first publish a final draft version and invite representations (comments) on it. It is stressed that residents in Sandyford, Goldenhill and surrounding areas attend the open event on Wednesday 19th August at Gateway Methodist Church, High Street, Goldenhill, ST6 5QJ, 4.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m.
Staffordshire Police are once again asking for the public’s help regarding the former church on Rogers Street, Goldenhill. The building has recently been targeted by individuals gaining unauthorised access. We would like to remind residents that the premises contain asbestos materials, which may pose a serious risk to health if disturbed. Please do not enter the building under any circumstances. If you see anyone inside the Church or witness anyone entering or attempting to gain access to the building, please call 999 immediately. We would also encourage parents and guardians to speak with children and young people about the dangers of entering vacant buildings and the risks associated with asbestos exposure. Thank you for your support in helping to keep our community safe. Whether your child is planning to travel to school in September by car, bus, walking or cycling, the Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership (SSRP) has developed guidance to help you prepare them over the summer for their new journey. During this stage of their development as road users, children can find themselves at greater risk as they start to travel more independently. Parents and carers play a crucial role in helping children develop their knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviour so they can travel safely. The SSRP has developed a guide for parents and carers on what to cover with children as they plan their new journey. To help with their planning, you may want to ask them: What is the safest route to get to and from school? Where are the safest places to cross? Who are you going to travel with? Are there any hazards on their route and how can they deal with them? What worries do they have about walking to school?

Respect Orders will launch across England and Wales in October, giving police and councils tougher powers to crack down on repeat perpetrators of antisocial behaviour (ASB). The landmark new tool addresses a significant gap in existing ASB powers and will enable authorities to take stronger enforcement action to tackle relentless adult offenders – including prison sentences. Officers will, for example, be able to ban them from town centres or stop them drinking in public hotspots like high streets and local parks. Offenders can also be ordered by the courts to tackle the root causes of their behaviour – from drug or alcohol treatment to anger management courses – instead of simply being allowed to return to the streets and start the cycle again. Breaching a Respect Order will be a criminal offence, with police able to arrest anyone who ignores the rules. Those who flout the orders could face jail time. The government will today lay the legal paperwork needed to bring the Orders into force, paving the way for them to launch nationally from Monday 26 October 2026. The national roll-out means police and councils across England and Wales can go after the worst offenders blighting town centres, high streets and local neighbourhoods. Courts will also be able to hand out unlimited fines and tough community punishments, such as unpaid work and curfews. The new power will partially replace existing Civil Injunction powers for adults, allowing the police to immediately arrest anyone who is flouting their Respect Order and bringing a wider range of penalties because breaches will be dealt with in the criminal courts.
The Summer Holidays are upon us and we know this can add extra pressure to families. Please help “Just Family” to help local families by donating unwanted bikes and scooters so they can be refurbished and passed onto children to provide some summer fun and physical activity! Police Officers have been called to multiple addresses on CARSINGTON DRIVE, CHATTERLEY WHITFIELD, and SANDIACRE AVENUE. All reports claim the incidents occurred on 19th July 2026 around approximately 06:00 hours. The basis of the reports is suspicious people on the estate, riding around on bikes, trying gates and car door handles. If you have any information please ring 101, and please check your CCTV and video doorbells. Always make sure, cars are locked and if available, put padlocks on gates. Police will be allowed to destroy nuisance vehicles after just seven days under new powers. The strict new laws will apply to cars and e-scooters seized because of anti-social behaviour (ASB). This will allow officers to dispose of vehicles quicker – giving hooligans less time to reclaim them and start offending again. The Home Office says it will help tackle so-called car meets, where hundreds of drivers cause misery for neighbours by revving up engines and playing loud music late into the night. People across the country are fed up with off-road bikes tearing through parks, dangerous e-scooters on pavements and the chaos of illegal car meets. |
