AGA ALSAGER ALLOTMENTS OPEN DAY

Cllr Michael Unett, the Mayor of Alsager, attended this last weekend the Alsager Gardens Association Allotments Open Day at the Cedar Avenue Allotments.

This was a wonderful event highlighting the work of the AGA, allotment holders and what our town’s allotment sites offer.

The Mayor was delighted walking around the site and speaking to some allotment holders. The Mayor also helped to draw the raffle.

The Town Council owns the allotment sites but the day to day management is devolved to the Alsager Gardens Association.

STROKE SURVIVORS & THE KINGS AWARD

The Mayor of Alsager, Cllr Michael Unett, was delighted to join with fellow Mayors to attend the official presentation of The King’s Award for Voluntary Service to the Stroke Survivors Speech & Language Group.

This prestigious award is the MBE for voluntary organisations and recognises the tremendous service that the Stroke Survivors Group does for people in Cheshire, with local groups in Alsager, Crewe, Sandbach, Middlewich, Nantwich and more.

The Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire Lady Redmond presented the award to CEO Liz Bedson and her team and each volunteer got their own official commemorative pin badge.

The local Mayors of each town in area attended to support their local Stroke Survivors Group.

Cllr Michael Unett congratulated Stroke Survivors and paid tribute to their work, highlighting the dedication and service that the Alsager Group does for people in our town.

“A massive congratulations to Stroke Survivors for the Kings Award, it is throughly deserved for all the hard work of the organisers and volunteers. The positive impact they have on people is immense. And it is a joy to see how much good work and how far the group has come since it officially opened in 2022”.

Cllr Michael Unett was there at the official opening of the Stroke Survivors Group back in 2022 at the 13 Club when he previously served as the Chairman of Alsager Town Council.

Well done & congratulations to the Stroke Survivors Group, organisers, trustees and volunteers. 👏
