New Sandyford Service Station

The Kay Group who are developing the new Sandyford Service Station on James Brindley Way near to the KFC roundabout have requested Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association update residents on progression to develop the site.

The contractor has carried out maintenance and cutting down vegetation at the site outside of the nesting season.

The Kay Group say this is not the start of the development, but they hope to start work in late January or early February. The developer said they have agreed supply terms with BP to supply fuel at the service station.

The company has agreed to keep the residents association and residents updated on any future devolopment at the location.

Vehicle Crime

Staffordshire Police advise with the drop in temperature across the area we are asking all residents to be mindful when defrosting your vehicles. 

If you leave your vehicle running and unattended, you make it an easy target for criminals. Although when the weather is cold you should remain with your vehicle during the time you are defrosting and ensure your windows are clear before travelling.

We are already aware of this type of incident happening in Stoke-on-Trent this week so please be aware and vigilant.

Stoke in Top 10 Penalty Charge Notices Issued to Drivers

Stoke came in at number 6 in the Top 10 Penalty Charge Notices issued to drivers in Stafford Street Hanley for being one of the most expensive streets outside London.

Winter Driving

At this time of year, the weather can shift dramatically from clear morning skies to dark rainy afternoons which is why it is important to ensure you know the weather forecast to plan your journey and to avoid any unnecessary traffic due to roads being flooded. Due to the heavy rain we experienced on Thursday 24th November many roads including main roads such as Turnhurst Road and Ford Green Road became flooded which is a risk to road users and pedestrians, As winter approaches the weather may get worse with heavy showers, ice or snow so it is especially important to ensure that you and your vehicle are prepared to drive in these conditions.

Here are a few tips to ensure that you drive safe in these conditions: Ensure your vehicle tyres are road worthy, including the tyre tread depth (legal limit 1.6mm) and tyre pressure. Ensure your wipers (front and rear) and working as well as your heater to defrost your windows from ice and demist the inside, Ensure you drive to the speed limit and slow down if the weather conditions are affecting your visibility and driving. Give extra room to the vehicle in front of you and allow extra time for braking. Plan your journey and only travel when it is essential if the road conditions are hazardous (flooded, ice, snow).

There are many resources out there that can give further advice if you are unsure about driving in the upcoming road conditions through these winter months it is better to arrive late rather than not at all, remember to drive safe everyone!
