Hi everyone. Cllr Slivia Burgess and I want to know your views on the Cold Weather arrangements we have been promoting at Kidsgrove Town Council and other issues affecting Butt Lane. Just click on the post title to add your comments and we will do our best to respond within 48hrs. Cllr Dennis Richards.

Cold Weather Arrangements

Kidsgrove Town Council has teamed up with North Staffordhsire Link Line, WRVS and Age UK North Staffordshire to help elderly and disabled Kidsgrove residents who might be unable to venture out in icy conditions.

Residents who call the Link Line on 01782-710436 will be referred to Age UK's Shop and Clean service who can collect shopping or WRVS;s Door2Door Transport Service as required. They can also call if they just want a chat (telephones are answered in the mornings, but callers can leave a message at other times).

While there is a charge for shopping and transport services, Kidsgrove Town Council has applied for funding to help those in financial hardship who might not normally be able to afford these services.

NB This is not an emergency service. Residents needing help in an emergency should still call '999'
