We urge everyone to stay safe during these extreme weather events, and to check on vulnerable neighbours or members of your community when possible. Please listen to updates and weather warnings from your local government services to remain informed of the situation in your local area.
You can check for flood warnings in England using this Government website, and you can check for flood warnings in Wales using this website.
This page from Age UK’s website offers advice on how to support elderly residents during a flood crisis, and this UK Government website offers advice on what to do after you’ve been affected by flooding.
 
It was sad to hear that we lost a caring and dedicated retired local doctor, who sadly passed away 19.11.24, aged 86.
We fondly remember Doctor Rohatgi in the good old days when he used to see his patients along Hollywall Lane in his Sandyford surgery (pictured).
Its over 30 years ago since Hollywall Lane lost it’s G.P. surgery and school clinic, which served us as far back as the second world war.
Those were the days when we used to enter his “nissen hut” type building before moving to the “Sita Medical Centre” and now “Goldenhill Medical Centre” on High Street, Goldenhill.
Our thoughts are with Doctor Rohatgi’s family and friends. R.I.P. to a well liked and respected former G.P.
Staffordshire Police are giving a gentle reminder due to a recent increase in vehicle thefts in the local area, ensure you leave plenty of time before your journey, factoring in time to defrost your vehicle. Do not leave your car keys in your ignition, unattended even if it’s on your driveway. Unattended vehicles with keys in the ignition are easy targets for somebody targeting vehicles to steal. In addition to this, driving your vehicle with your window screen foggy, misty, icy or in any way obstructed is a criminal offence.

Staffordshire Police relaunch Ditch the Blade campaign this Autumn, you’re likely to see increased coverage about knife crime in the press and on social media over the coming weeks.
Working with local partners, we are urging young people to go knife free and to reach out for help and advice if they’re feeling trapped or pressured to carry a knife, or are carrying a knife out of fear.
The myths and reality surrounding knives are very different. A common misconception is that it’s common for young people to carry knives, when the reality is that 99% of young people aged 10 to 29 don’t carry a knife.
Although it’s rare for young people to carry a knife, it’s still important to chat to the young people in your life about the topic and discuss any concerns or worries, as they may not always understand the risks and consequences.
A couple of myths about knives are:
Carrying a knife will keep you safer. You only get a criminal record if you actually use the knife.
Unfortunately, the reality is: Carrying a knife puts you in more harm as it could be used against you if a situation gets out of control. Anyone found carrying a knife risks a criminal record if they are found in possession – this applies whether there is an intent to use the knife or not.
You can find advice to start a conversation, and details for support organisations here: https://www.staffordshire.police.uk/ditchtheblade
Knife banks for the anonymous disposal of knives
There is a growing network of knife banks to enable the safe anonymous disposal of knives across the county.
Some banks are supplied by ourselves, and others are supplied by partners. You can check where your nearest location is by viewing the map on our website: https://www.staffordshire.police.uk/ditchtheblade
If you do not have a knife amnesty bank nearby you can also take a knife to your nearest Household Waste Recycling Centre (Tip) for disposal.
If you’re dropping off a knife please make sure it’s suitably wrapped and secure for your journey.
Good news that “Reggie” the French bull dog is found and reunited with his Goldenhill family, 6 days after he went missing.

Residents are fed up of continuing clanging of a manhole cover at the junction of Shelford Road/High Street, Sandyford near to McDonald’s.
At times as many as 1,000 vehicles pass over the manhole cover, which consists of repeated noise pollution that residents class as a form of Chinese Water Torture.
Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association have been in contact with Severn Trent Water who are responsible for the repair, and have said they will be contacting Highways tomorrow 05.11.24 to request a permit to implement a two way traffic light and road closure to do the work.
Severn Trent Water have said they have to give 15 weeks notice to repair the manhole, which means the work would take place around the second week in February 2025. Severn Trent did say they understand the inconvenience this is causing nearby residents and have stressed they will try to get the repair done much sooner.
Councillor Chandra Kanneganti and Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association are both jointly speaking to Council Highways to try and speed up the permit approval so Severn Trent can get the repair done as quickly as possible.
Everyone should be able to enjoy fireworks safely, whether at an organised display or in their back garden. Here you’ll find out the law around using fireworks as well as how to stay safe, and report those using fireworks in a dangerous or threatening way.
Fireworks and the law.
- What time can fireworks be used?
Fireworks can be used in the UK any time from 7am to 11pm.
Exceptions are:
- Bonfire night: 7am to midnight
- New Year’s Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year: 7am to 1am the following day
Who can use fireworks?
- it’s an offence to throw or set off any firework (including sparklers and category 1 fireworks) in or into any highway, street, thoroughfare or public space
What is the impact of firework misuse?
Used irresponsibly, fireworks can cause damage to property and do significant harm to people and animals. Not only is there a danger from fireworks exploding, they can also pose a serious fire risk as well.
This is why members of the public may only use fireworks on private property, such as their back gardens, and only licensed professionals can use them in public places.
What you can do
If a local retailer is selling adult fireworks to people under 18, please report it to your local Trading Standards.
If children are setting off fireworks in your area, our first advice is to ask them politely to stop. It’s possible they’re unaware that they are breaking the law. If you know their parents, perhaps ask them to intervene. If you’re having an ongoing problem with people setting off fireworks, please report antisocial behaviour to the police.
