Citizens Advice is now available in Frodsham with weekly sessions at Main Street Community Church on Thursdays from 10am to 1.00pm.
From its start in 1939, volunteers from Citizens Advice, under all its various titles, have been helping individuals deal with problems that affect day to day life. From wartime problems of ration books and missing persons, modern day problems may be about debt, benefits, consumer issues or housing.
If, for example, you are worried about changing your utility company, wondering about how to claim Universal Credit, are struggling with debt or have received notice to leave your property, call in and speak to one of the team. Information is impartial and complex queries dealt with by specialist advisers, either by phone or face to face.
The information you receive will be tailored to your needs, be it a telephone advice line number, website guidance, debt advice from an expert or a food bank voucher.
No query is too small if it causes worry, so please call in and speak to someone who can help. https://www.citizensadvicecw.org.uk
Shoppers in Church Street will notice a change this month as the long established business DRB Jewellers closed on 17th January. David Buckley has been trading here since 2003 and with his wife Viv is now taking well deserved retirement. As well as selling beautiful jewellery, David has provided a workshop where watches and pieces of jewellery have been remodelled or repaired. This service will be sorely missed.
You may have seen rowers under Sutton Weaver Swing Bridge from the boat houses towards Dutton locks. The original boat houses, which were built in the mid-1900’s, were in need of refurbishment to secure them for another 10 years. The club is grateful to local companies and volunteers who have helped make the area smart and fit for purpose – at least for the short term. A bat survey was included so no bats were harmed in the work. A new car park has been constructed with funding from the Marshes Community Benefit fund and the Canoe Foundation.
We are proud to be at the heart of the community, offering a safe, welcoming space where young people can grow in confidence, build friendships, and have fun. The club runs a wide range of inclusive activities designed to support wellbeing and help develop valuable life skills.
