Deputy Staffordshire Commissioner Dave Evans joined local children for a trial session at Hitmix radio station recently as part of this year’s Staffordshire Space programme.
Space is funded by the Staffordshire Commissioner for Police, Fire & Rescue and Crime Ben Adams and brings together public, voluntary and private sector organisations to provide activities for children across Staffordshire in the school holidays.
Hitmix Radio, located in Alsagers Bank, Newcastle-under-Lyme, has offered free sessions to children over the summer where they are given the opportunity to record their own advertisement and tour the studio.
The Staffordshire Space programme is open to 8–17-year-olds and aims to provide memorable experiences for many, while diverting some away from potential involvement in low-level crime and anti-social behaviour.
Space 2024 will run until 30 August. To book your child onto an activity, visit: https://staffordshirespace.uk/
Young bikers who want to improve their skills and keep themselves safe on the roads are invited to a free, informal BBQ on Wednesday 14 August, hosted by the Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership (SSRP).
The Young Biker BBQ, which takes place from 6-9pm at Bryan’s Motorcycle Training, Bet 365 Stadium, Stoke, gives bikers – and their parents or guardians – the chance to meet other bikers their own age, the road safety team and partners, with the opportunity to access training and advice on safer riding.
The event is part of a range of initiatives from the SSRP to help keep young riders safe, including a scheme that offers potential riders aged 15-21 the opportunity of a £50 discount off their CBT if they attend one of our Pre-CBT workshops either in person or online – contact stuart.allen@staffordshire.gov.uk or staffs-new-biker@staffordshire.gov.uk for more info or to book your place.
If you know a young biker who is looking to improve their skills, or is thinking about using a bike to commute to work or college as an alternative to public transport, find out more about the BBQ and other resources at: www.staffsbiker.co.uk/young-biker-bbqs/
Snugburys Ice Cream farm in Nantwich has unveiled their latest giant straw sculpture – Paddington Bear!
The giant 45ft high sculpture is the largest of the firm’s creations which are famously seen from the A51 Chester Road at Hurleston.
Once again Snugburys teamed up with local artist Mike Harper, of nearby Harbrook Engineering, to make the creation.
A Snugburys spokesperson said: “We are incredibly excited to introduce our latest sculpture Paddington Bear.
“This is our largest straw feature to date, standing at a very impressive 45 feet tall!
“He is made from straw, larch shingles and a metal frame.
“The very impressive frame work is made by the incredibly talented Mike Harper from Harbrook engineering.
“The Snugburys team have been busy straw stuffing and Sarah from @twigtwisters has done some fabulous willow weaving including the hat and suitcase.
“It has taken over 1,500 hours of work from welding, straw stuffing, willow weaving, painting and cladding, and it has been a true labour of love – and sleepless nights!”
With each new sculpture, the firm chooses a charity for donations and this year it is MPS charity.
They added: “Very sadly our family friend’s little boy Freddie was diagnosed with this cruel rare disease called MPS syndrome also known as childhood dementia.
“We hope to raise as much as we can.
“We wish to thank everyone who has helped with this project as we could not have done it without you.”
Paddington replaces the long-standing Bee sculpture which has been in place for a number of years.
Previous sculptures include a cyclist, the Millennium Wheel, Big Ben, and a Meerkat!

It has been reported that vandals have deliberately damaged a slide at Sandyford Park by pouring a sticky glue type liquid onto its slide.
Children and parents have reported today that a well used piece of equipment was unusable for them to play on.
The good new is that Tom Simpson, Secretary, on behalf of Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association has painstakingly cleaned the slide of the substance and it is now accessible for children to use.
The play equipment and goalposts have recently been restored at the park, and it is a pity that those individuals who feel the need to vandalise it should have a little more respect for all concerned.
The Staffordshire Commissioner is inviting residents who want to make a difference to their communities to volunteer as Appropriate Adults, providing a vital role in safeguarding the rights and welfare of vulnerable people in Police custody.
Independent of the Police, Appropriate Adults provide support for detainees when they first receive their Rights & Entitlements, when they are interviewed or searched, if DNA or other samples are taken, and if they are charged, to ensure they are treated in a just and fair manner and are able to participate effectively.
Appropriate Adults can choose to work from Watling Street Custody Facility near Penkridge, the Northern Area Custody Facility in Hanley, or any Staffordshire Police station. The service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but volunteers are able to work around their own commitments from as little as two hours a week.
Volunteers will receive full training, potentially helping to boost their career opportunities.
For more information to apply, visit https://staffordshire-pfcc.gov.uk/appropriate-adults/
Staffordshire Police say, ensure your vehicle is securely locked including passenger doors and sun roof and that alarms or immobilisers are switched on.
Take your sat nav with you. Remember to remove the cradle and wipe away any sucker marks. Leaving a cradle in place tells the crooks that the sat nav might be in place tells the crooks that the sat nav might be in the glove box or boot.
Never leave your keys in the ignition whilst warming your vehicle up in the cold weather, as you pop into a shop or to use a cash machine.
Park in a garage if you have one. Park under lights if possible when out and about.
Remember not to leave your keys too close to your front door, to reduce chances of thieves stealing them through the letterbox.
