Goldenhill Community Centre’s Sensory Garden is a place where anyone can pop along to enjoy a peaceful hour or two in a tranquil setting for free.

Just Family Charity would encourage visits to the garden so people can enjoy the lovely flower smells with plenty of nature visiting, including many birds when enjoying a visit to the bird bath.

The community centre is regularly open to visitors, and especially this coming week when the weather is expected to be sunny with temperatures in the 20’s.

Staffordshire Police Open Day

Looking for something to do this weekend? Then come along to our Open Day on Sunday.

We will be opening our doors to the public in the first open day in five years. The event is taking place at our headquarters on Weston Road, Stafford, from 11am until 4pm on Sunday 15 September, and entry is free for everyone.

We’ve got lots in store for everyone in the family to enjoy, including the chance to meet some of our brave police dogs and handlers keeping people safe every day.

Visitors can enjoy a number of demonstrations on the type of things our officers tackle on a daily basis, including methods of entry into addresses, working at heights and policing public order.

To help everyone get there safely, we are operating a great value park and ride service. For just £3 per car, you can park at the County Showground and then we will take you by bus to the HQ and then back again at the end of the day. There is no parking near police HQ, so please get your park and ride tickets in advance to ensure you can get there safely. You can book your park and ride ticket and learn more about how it works here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/staffordshire-police-open-day-for-all-the-family-park-and-ride-tickets-952702888987?aff=oddtdtcreator.

Proposed Starbucks Coming to Sandyford

A Starbucks drive thru coffee shop could be located on James Brindley Way in Sandyford.

The coffee shop has put in a planning application with Stoke on Trent City Council, and its location will be next door to Sandyford Service Station where there is a Greggs, Subway and a Londis Store.

If the application is successful then Sandyford will have two drive thru coffee shops with the other being Costa Coffee, which is nearby just off the High Street on Riley’s Court Retail Park.

It is obvious that coffee shops within the city as well as across the country are becoming more and more popular with customers.

Violence Against Women & Girls

This week is Violence against Women and girls. The harm caused to victims and society by violence against women and girls (WAWG) in all forms – including but not limited to harassment, stalking, rape, sexual assault, murder, honour-based abuse, coercive control – is immeasurable. 

In December 2021, the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) and college of Policing published a new police VAWG framework, developed under the leadership of the National Police Lead for VAWG Deputy Chief Constable Maggie Blyth, and informed by experts in policing, government and the VAWG sector. 

This was updated and refreshed in March 2024.

Dog Killed on Former Goldenhill Golf Course

Broken hearted Dave when walking his dog over the former Goldenhill Golf Course earlier today, when 3 lads on big red quads ran over poor “Jasper” leaving him for dead.

The dog owner said on our sister page Facebook after hitting the animal, they laughed leaving Dave even more distraught at what had happened.

Dave went onto say he contacted Staffordshire Police who said they could do nothing in regards to the dog’s death.

On the Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association Facebook Page within one hour of reporting the incident, the post has reached 4,500 people with 127 comments and 57 shares, with many people showing anger to what has happened as well as support and sympathy to Dave’s sad loss of Jasper.

If anyone has any information of those individuals responsible then please contact Staffordshire Police on 101.

The residents association and residents who live in and around the Sandyford/Goldenhill area would like to pass on our deepest sympathy to Dave for his sad loss today.

Sandyford’s (NO TRAFFIC) High Street

High Street, Sandyford back in the last century when traffic issues was not a problem.

To the left of the picture (NOT SHOWING) was a BP petrol station, and now in 2024 just up the road we have the return of a much more modern filling station with the same BP brand name.

To the right of the picture we have the Newfield Pottery/Alfred Meakin Potbank, which some of Sandyford & Goldenhill Ancestors would have possibly worked there.

Registration number on the car depicts EH and along with the VT (5 Towns) number plate states the vehicle was registered in Stoke on Trent.

Chocolates & Sweets You Can No Longer Buy

In times gone by when you could buy chocolate bars and sweets, which were a lot bigger and cheaper, and we would say tasted much nicer than confectionary you can purchase today.

A lot of chocolate and sweets have now left our corner shop shelves for good, but here is a reminder of some of the sweet treats we used to enjoy, and I am sure there is many more that people can remember.

Post Boxe’s, Get a Lick of RED PAINT

Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association had concerns over the deterioration of post boxes in the area, which needed a repaint.

After contacting the post office, they advised that post boxes are repainted every 5 years to which the resident’s group believed the last paint job was well in excess of the 5 year period.

The post office listened the resident’s association’s concerns and placed the repainting of the three boxes as a priority, and today 27.08.24 the new red paint job took place.

Sandyford & Goldenhill Resident’s Association would like to thank the post office for their quick response in making the post boxes look good again.

The post box on the corner of Broadfield Road/High Street (Sandyford) was positioned there when King George V was on the thrown between 1910 & 1936, which means it has been receiving letters for around 100 years.

A reminder to resident’s to post your letters, birthday & Christmas cards in one of the post boxes in Goldenhill or Sandyford because if you don’t use it you will lose it.
