Help us identify key areas for improvement
Lymm Youth and Community Association are currently conducting a survey about our community and they need your support. Pick up a copy at the centre, local shops or complete the survey online: Lymm Youth Club website.
The association aims to secure the future of Lymm Youth & Community Centre, providing and developing youth and community facilities for the people of Lymm, within the heart of the village centre. Warrington Borough Council refuses to accept that there is enough demand for these facilities and we are sure that this survey will demonstrate the need.
We are keen to ensure our community caters for all and we hope that this survey will help us identify key areas for improvement. We value your thoughts, ideas and suggestions and appreciate you giving us your time and support. Your views will help us make Lymm Youth and Community Centre work for you.
Collect a survey or complete online
Copies will be available at Lymm Youth & Community Centre and a number of local businesses, including Burnetts Premier Stores, Rushgreen Garage and Statham McColls and you can drop your completed survey in at any of these locations. Alternatively, you can complete the survey online.
It should only take a few minutes to complete and your responses could make a massive difference to the future of the centre. If you provide your contact details, we will enter you into our prize draw to win a bottle of bubbly or a box of chocolates.
If you would like to know more, please contact our secretary, Neville Davies on 01925 755757.

New feature coming soon to Lymm.com
Ever reminisce about your childhood days in the playground and wondered what your class mates are doing now? Did the class clown ever make it as a Stand up Act, or star of the school play make it to the big screen? Or maybe that A* Science student went on to study medicine and is now out there saving lives?
Expatriates site development
Lymm.com is looking to develop a new interactive feature for the site, similar to the Lymm Interactive Map. We want to create a “Where are they now” database of expat profiles and plot on an interactive map, showing whereabouts in the world they’re living now. In much the same way, you will be able to browse/search through the featured profiles and see which classmates you can track down!
Contact Us
To get it started we need a handful of people and locations to plot on the map, so come on guys and gals, get involved! If you would like to be featured in Lads and Lasses around the World then please forward your information on to me. Alternatively, if you know of any expatriates, please forward this post on to them, thanks!

An appeal for information
On Wednesday 22nd of July 2009 a Yorkshire terrier was stolen from a Red Suzuki Vitara. The owner parked in Davies Way in Lymm and headed into Gavin Laidlaw's dental practice at 2.00pm. At 2.20pm Von Threlfall returned to find her car had been broken into and her Yorkshire Terrier, who is 10lbs and answers to the name Daz or Dazzie, gone.
Planned robbery?
The thieves took the lock off the passenger door. They left behind her other dog a Staffordshire bull terrier and all other valuables such as the satellite navigation system. On the front of the windscreen a calling card was left. The illustration was the front page of the Beano with Dennis the Menace on it behind bars with two dogs on the front. This suggests that the incident may have been planned.
Von says: “I remember on the day of the incident three guys laughing and joking on one of the canal boats. They looked over and smiled, that could be one route to his disappearance”.
On the day of the disappearance another passerby reported seeing a dark black or dark blue Vauxhall Zafira. The owner was agitated and unable to get out because of Von’s Jeep. This vehicle may be connected to the incident.
A small white van possible a renault kango with two middle aged blokes in high visibility jackets may also have possible links to the crime
Von is determined to find her dog and has circulated leaflets in the area, been to the Cheshire Dogs home, Manchester Dogs home, and also posted appeals on the internet. She will be circulating leaflets in the area again very shortly.
Reward
The owner would like to hear from anyone who may have seen anything on the day of the incident or who may have had animals stolen. There is a £200 reward for any information leading to his safe return or his whereabouts. Von says she won’t give up.
Contact Von on: 01925 454298 or 07730 660 975.

Driver appeals for information
On Saturday night (6/02/2010) at about 6.45pm a silver Audi TT was in traffic at junction 7 west bound on the M56, coming up to the slip road, when a car collided and drove off.
Can you help?
The owner of the Audi TT said:
- "As he was going so fast I could only give a small part of registration and rough description of the vehicle to police so I can't trace the driver. There's damage down the driver’s side of car and the wing mirror is smashed. If the car had collided from behind it could have been fatal for the dogs that were in the boot (hatch) of car".
The car in question was pale green, possibly ford, hatchback or estate, first part of registration was M56 or MS6 and there is a 0 or o in the rest of the number plate.
If you have any information in relation to this incident please contact Bev on 07970 772994.
