Delamere Grove
Delamere Grove, Eddisbury Hill, Delamere, Nr Northwich, Cheshire, CW8 2JJ
a better way of living
Set in the heart of rural Cheshire, Delamere Grove is a peaceful retirement park nestled on the side of a hill with magnificent views across the Cheshire plain. With only 23 Park Homes, for all year round living, this small park is ideally located within open countryside, yet close to everyday facilities. Delamere village boasts a village store, golf course, church, 2 country pubs and of course the famous Delamere Forest. Bus stops and a mainline train station provide fantastic transport links. The historic towns of Northwich and Frodsham are close by, as is the Roman walled city of Chester.

CONGRATULATIONS to the Grosvenor Pulford Hotel which won the Best Wedding Venue in Cheshire accolade recently. In this months edition weve got news from the Friends of the Meadows, explaining what wildlife can be spotted there this summer. Talking of the Meadows, the police have clamped down on another form of wild life - groups leaving litter near the river. PCSO Jo Pendrey explains more in her column. Weve also got pictures from St Marys Nursery, Queens Park High School and news from Westminster Park. Remember, you can keep up to date with the latest from this area by going to www.overleighroundabout.co.uk or find us on facebook

There has been a significant increase in burglary offences whereby sheds and garages have been targeted. Plans to address the issue Regular high visibility patrols to take place and stop checks on persons acting suspiciously in the area. PCSO Pendrey to identify vulnerable premises and advise owners of security measures to prevent offences taking place. Local Priorities You said Large groups gathering within the Meadows drinking and causing a nuisance to members of the public. Youths are often abusive and intimidating and leave litter behind. We did PCSO Pendrey has met with local residents and members of Friends of the Meadows. Regular high visibility patrols have taken place over previous weeks by the Chester Outer Neighbourhood Policing Team and youths have been spoken to and moved on from the area. The next Community Action Meeting will take place on Thursday 11th August @ 19:30 hours and will be held at St Marys Church Hall, Handbridge.
If you have any questions or see me on patrol please feel free to stop and chat or alternatively contact either myself on 0845 458 6375 or by e-mail at joanne.pendrey@cheshire.pnn.police.uk

The children at St Marys Community Nursery School, Handbridge, enjoyed a welcome return visit of Misoshi to school recently. Misoshi was born in Ghana but now lives in England and visits schools telling stories and teaching children new songs from her native land. The children at St Marys are currently enjoying a topic on Africa so she also showed them how mothers carry their babies and shopping Ghanaan style. Pupils particularly enjoyed playing Misoshis drum and the schools own collection of African instruments whilst they danced as African animals. All pupils are looking forward with great excitement to their visit to Norton Priory later this term to go on safari.

VEGETAblES such as tomatoes, courgettes, pumpkins and beans will be ready for harvesting this month. Give the plants a boost when watering by adding a liquid fertiliser such as Tomorite or seaweed extract. Feed once a week to improve your yields. If you are growing Brussels sprouts or broccoli and the plants are becoming tall, stake them to prevent the plants from falling over! Also check brassica plants for cabbage white caterpillars and remove them before they eat your plants. In the flower border, colour will come from many perennials. Veronicas are perennials with small and tall varieties in pink, white and blue which are good for sunny positions. If you have a dry position, how about the grass, Stipa gigantea? It sends up tall golden oat stems that move in the wind and doesnt take up much space. Another good plant for sun is Verbena bonariensis which has tall stiff stems topped with heads of small purple 64
flowers. Again, it takes up little space in the ground and lasts for weeks. Not hardy in severe winters but it will self seed. For those of you lucky enough to have damp soil then there are a range of plants you can grow. In August the purple loosestrife, Lythrum salicaria has tall spikes of magenta pink flowers. Plant with Astilbes with their creamy white, pink and dark red flowers plus fine cut leaved glossy foliage. A quirky plant for those with damp soil and space for it to clump up, try Lysimachia clethroides with its white foxtail flowers all pointing in the same direction that remind me of a tribe of meerkats on the lookout!. Hedges can be cut in August as they should not grow too much before winter. Replant self seeded seedlings such as foxgloves or campanulas to fill in gaps in your borders. If you have an established hellebore plant in the garden, look under the large leaves and you may well find small seedlings already growing. Pot them up or move them out into more space so they can grow on.
