Administrators Aaron & Partners LLP (Chester) were appointed for Eaton Estates (Knutsford) Ltd on 25/01/2010 - a suprising early casualty in 2010. Only recently it's own advertising claimed that the company was 'the fastest growing estate agency in the area'. The company's demise was reportedly to have been caused by the severe downturn in the housing market with hopes of a recovery having recently suffered a double blow with a collapse in both mortgage lending and the building of new homes. The total value of home loans in January hit a ten year low, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders. The CML said that mortgage advances were down by 32 per cent on December and the lowest level since February 2000. Eaton Estates has subsequently been bought from the administrators and continues to trade from its offices at the top of Minshull Street in Knutsford. |

Small suppliers are finally being given protection from supermarkets in the form of an ombudsman, but the Forum of Private Business (FPB) is calling for further measures to help both suppliers and shops.
The FPB is welcoming today’s news that the Government has accepted a recommendation for a body to enforce the Groceries Supply Code of Practice (GSCOP). It was made by the Competition Commission in 2008 after a two-year inquiry into alleged abuses in the groceries market.

 Free weekend parking is being introduced in Rotherham town centre from November 21st after 3.00pm and at the weekends to boost town trade in the run up to Christmas. The scheme applies to all council-operated car parks and on-street parking bays throughout each weekend and after 3.00pm for the rest of the week. Wirral Council, offered 'free after3' parking initiative on every Thursday for Birkenhead, Liscard and Heswell and West Kirby in the run up to Christmas.
The initiative funding was made possible by the Government's national cut in VAT from 17.5% to 15% last December 2008, which was not passed on to the public and would fund the scheme.
In Knutsford we have seen increases in parking payable from April 1st 2009 and an increase in traffic wardens on our streets to help deter shoppers from parking in our town. |
