Hello Everyone

Oswestry & Borders Repair Cafe will be back in Oswestry Memorial Hall on Saturday February 28th 12 - 3pm
You can help us by booking your item in beforehand, so we know which fixperts to invite and what tools they need to bring. (Bookings by Feb 22nd please).

Don't forget you can also bring your repairs in to the Midweek Mend sessions at the Climate Action Hub in Bailey St. Wednesdays 11 - 2pm (but please arrive before 1pm to give us enough time).

Fix it FebRepair Cafe Wales are running their annual month-long 'Fix it Feb' campaign encouraging people to fix one thing during the month of February.Visit your local repair cafe, make your Fix It Feb Pledge, and help us celebrate a month of fixing, sharing, and making things last longer. Saving one item from landfill might feel small, but when thousands of people take part, those small actions add up to real impact.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Best wishes
Elaine

DANGEROUS damaging pothole near The Dog

Dear Blogger

IMPORTANT warning from Gary Wann, Ruyton

My wife caught this pothole in the dark last night. A burst tyre and a damaged wheel and she was adhering to the 20mph limit. Exactly where you would steer to straggle the speed bump.

I reported it to the council, but I thought it was further up the hill out of the village. I'll report it again.

Regards

Gary Wann
