House Fire in Hartshill
25 Aug 2010
Firefighters from Hanley, Longton and Newcastle have tackled a house fire in Hartshill. The call was received at 9.16am reporting a fire at a terraced house on Stoke Old Road in Hartshill. The fire involved the rear extension of the property and the roof space.
I have just heard of the death of Peter Cheeseman the founding Director of the Victoria Theatre following a long fight against Parkinsons Disease. He was 78. Even from the distance of nearly half a century the importance of Cheeseman's pioneer work in community theatre and theatre in the round cannot be understated. There was a time in the 1960s when some of the work being produced at the Old Vic from its Hartshill site was of world renown.
As its coming up to the Selection meeting for Stoke Central I thought that I would offer my advice on anyone on those candidates who will be facing the experience. I have been interviewed a few times and I have never been successful at a parliamentary level although I have won a few meetings to become a candidate at local government level.
