We have been to the Battlefields – first and second World War - in Northern France and Belgium many times over the past fifty years but our last visit at the end of June 2006 was of special significance.

Ninety years since the start of the Battle of the Somme but more personally ninety years since the fall of Hazel’s Uncle Burt in those terrible times.

James Burton Lewis volunteered in 1914 and joined the Kings Regiment at Sefton Park where “it was just like scout camp and it’ll soon be over” but soon he was in France. We are fortunate that his letters home have been carefully preserved; have been transcribed and copies are with the Imperial War Museum. His description of the conditions in the Trenches defies believe, the mud, the cold, the hunger, the rats, inhumane conditions. Another recurring theme “Leave has been stopped again” .He writes longingly of home – How is the harvest doing? How much is father getting for potatoes?

Good afternoon,

Unfortunately over the past week there has been a number of burglaries in residents sheds and outbuildings in the Kingsley ward. The incidents have taken place in Kingsley and Hatchmere. Some expensive push bikes have been taken and also a motor vehicle from a drive way. The offenders have entered a property and taken the keys from a downstairs room. Please make sure whether you are in or out of your home that all doors and windows are locked.

We are advising all residents to make sure all sheds, garages and outbuildings are locked securely at all times and any expensive items are out of sight to anyone.


If you have any concerns or issues please email PCSO Phil Brandreth on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..police.uk or call 101.

Chester Rural End of Month Newsletter March 2016


PS Ian Wilson 
Beat Management Sergeant – Frodsham & Chester Rural.     
Welcome to my second edition of the Chester Rural Police update as the Chester Rural Sergeant. I will endeavor to both circulate the Newsletter monthly at the end of each month and attach to the rural section of the website. Within the newsletter I will update you on crime / anti-social behavior in your local areas, as well as highlighting and celebrate what my staff are / have been doing to support communities and address the on-going issues. I will also highlight Chester Rural’s major priorities for the next month. 
I am trying to communicate with as many of our rural residents as possible with these updates and I am looking to increase our subscribers to Cheshire Alert, so please highlight the advantages of signing up to friends/relatives in the area. Also, (as I know many of you already do) please also print-off and circulate the newsletters to those who don’t have computer / e-mail access. 
As well as the regular Cheshire Alert updates, please be aware of further rural information on the Chester Local Policing Unit twitter page (@PoliceChester) and the Cheshire Police website (www.cheshire.police.uk).

The main issues continue to be parking around school drop off and pickup times. PCSO Brandreth is working with the Head Teacher at Aston by Sutton school to devise ways where we can prevent parents parking on yellow zig-zags for dropping off and in overall general road safety and road awareness. High visibility presence during these times is a main goal.
