October 2019 - Staffordshire County Council Have Issued the Following Notice:

Notice is hereby given that the Staffordshire County Council on 7^th November 2019 made an Order the effect of which will be to prohibit any vehicle from proceeding in that length of Ashwood Lower Lane in Ashwood from a point approximately 185 metres in a southerly direction from its junction with Doctors Lane and continuing  for a distance of approximately 90 metres, unless the vehicle is being used in connection with the works, or unless the vehicle requires access to premises on the length of road.

An alternative route for traffic is available and will be signed on site.  For more information visit http://one.network/?tm=114799497

The order will come into operation on 11^th November 2019 and the said works (which will start at 08.00) will commence on or as near as practicable to that date.  It is anticipated that the works will be completed by 6^th December 2019.

The order will remain in force for a period of 18 months, or until the drainage works, which it is proposed to carry out on or near the road have been completed, whichever is the earlier.

UPDATE:  Boat Safety Scheme now requires the presence of carbon monoxide alarms!

CO alarms must be in open view with all cabin doors, cupboard doors, curtains and loose furniture etc in place.  CO alarms must be marked as being certified by an accredited third party certification body to BS EN 50291 or equivalent.  CO alarms must be provided with a test-function button. 

Guidance for Owners:  Although not a BSS requirement, CO alarms marked to the BS EN 50291-2 are the best choice for boats.  They have been tested to meet the more onerous conditions found in boats.
