Red Post Boxes Through The Years

Reigning Monarchs have their emblems placed on the well known red post boxes, which many of us fail to recognise the King or Queens reign placed upon them.

Queen Victoria where it all started reigned from 1837 to 1901, followed by her son King Edward 7th who reigned from 1901 to 1910, then his son King George 5th reigned from 1910 to 1936.

George the 5th’s son King Edward 8th reigned during 1936 before abdicating when marrying divorcee Mrs Simpson. After that his Brother King George 6th reigned from 1936 to 1952 before his Daughter Queen Elizabeth 2nd reigned from 1952 to 2022 before Prince Charles became King Charles the 3rd.

This means that some of the red post boxes even in Stoke on Trent go back to around 150 years or more, and below shows what they looked like when first placed onto our streets. Also there is a new post box depicting the emblem of King Charles 3rd, which is now on the Isle of Man.

Stoke Council Want Your Views on Proposed Fuel Poverty Strategy

Stoke on Trent City Council are developing a new five-year plan to address fuel poverty in Stoke-on-Trent – and we want to hear from you about it.
We are developing the 2023-2028 Fuel Poverty Strategy as part of our ongoing commitment to ensure all residents can live in safe and warm homes.
It is being developed after government data identified Stoke-on-Trent as having the second highest proportion of households living in fuel poverty in England – with around 25,696 (22.1 per cent) of households in the city living in fuel poverty.

The new draft strategy is proposing to focus on four key objectives:

  • Helping people to reduce their energy bills;
  • Improving the efficiency of domestic buildings to reduce cold-related illnesses;
  • Maximise household incomes; and
  • Increasing renewable energies to reduce carbon emissions.

We’re now inviting residents to have their say on the proposals which are under consultation until Wednesday 25 October 2023.
This is your chance to tell us if we’ve got it right and let us know what else we should be doing to help tackle fuel poverty in the city.

Important Vehicle Security

Staffordshire Police are asking,

🚛 Do you own or use a van?

❌ We are urging van owners to secure their vehicles and remove valuables after a spate of thefts.

🛠️ Offenders appear to be cutting holes in doors and locks, peeling panels back and damaging windows, in order to access tools which have been stored in vans both overnight and whilst parked during the day.

❗ Ford Transits and Vauxhall Vivaros are amongst the most commonly affected vehicles.

 🔐 Van owners should remain vigilant and consider their vehicle’s security to mitigate the chances of them falling victim to such offences.

🚨 Where possible lock your van in a secure garage and ensure your van is parked in direct view of CCTV cameras to deter any opportunist from targeting your vehicle. 

🖊️ Mark your tools clearly with your name using paint pens and sealing with a clear lacquer spray and please consider removing tools from vans overnight. 

🧰 There are also lockable cabinets and small cameras which can be installed inside vans, alongside additional security measures which can further deter thieves.

Heatwave Hits Stoke on Trent

Next week Stoke on Trent is to have temperatures reaching the dizzy heights of 25 degrees plus. We know at long last this is the summer we want even if it is in the autumn season.

It is worth remembering that factor 30 or above is still a safe option to protect us from the sun as well as taking plenty of water to keep yourself and family members hydrated.

Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association encourages everyone to enjoy this Indian summer we are to have, and that we now have very good public footpaths to walk on and to enjoy the lovely scenery we have in our part of the city.

Cannabis Grow in Goldenhill

After working closely with local residents; Stoke North police officers discovered a large scale cannabis factory in the Rodgers Street area of Goldenhill on Thursday 24th August. There has been a male arrested at the property and will be dealt with appropriately.

Staffordshire Police would like to add that this is a good example of local communities working with the Police.

Young People Exploited By Criminals

Staffordshire Police are reporting that criminal gangs use desirable items to lure young people to work for them, these include trainers, clothing, cash and tech.

The police are asking is there a young person you know recently who has got some of these that are unexplained? If so, they could be being exploited.

Help is available, here’s where to access it: https://orlo.uk/qb12R 

Blackpool’s Big Dipper Turned 100 This Week

Blackpool Pleasure Beach is celebrating the centenary of it’s Big Dipper ride with it being one of the oldest wooden rollercoasters in the world when it opened on 23rd August 1923.

The Big Dipper is the second oldest rollercoaster still in use in Great Britain, although Margate’s Scenic Railway was the first.

The classic wooden design is a very different ride to a steel rollercoaster with it’s exciting rickety ride, which so many of us still love today.
