It was reported earlier in the month at the Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Public Meeting that S.A.G.E. held talks with the City Councils Sports Participation Officer in regards to possible youth activities at Sandyford Community Fire Station.
It was said the talks are very much in the early stages and S.A.G.E. believes there needs to be increased activity in the area for young people to participate in.
The residents association have said they discussed a number of things, including activities, what would get the young people to the venue, age group attending and sports equipment required.
Councillor Martin Garner for the ward has suggested the use of ward budget money, which could go towards offering taster sessions.
S.A.G.E. has said that if all goes to plan then it is hoped a start date for the project could be as soon as spring this year.

 High Street, Goldenhill back in 1955 Councillor Martin Garner has forwarded a photograph showing High Street, Goldenhill taken in 1955 outside St John’s Church looking towards Kidsgrove.
The question we are all asking, who is the policeman in the photograph? Could it be Joe Smith, who is the Chairman of the Sandyford and Goldenhill Residents Association (S.A.G.E.) who used to be the local policeman when Goldenhill had it’s own police station.
Any stories about Goldenhill back in the 1950’s or about the photograph itself then please contact David Wood who is the S.A.G.E. Website Historian.
