We're doing our best to keep things running as smoothly as possible, but there may be changes to today's timetable and classes due to the adverse weather.

𝗕𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗨𝗧, please call us on 01782 528887 to check if your class/booking is still going ahead.

Your safety is our priority. Take care on the roads, and we appreciate your understanding.

Stay safe, people.

Inhalers cannot be recycled or disposed of with household waste so, we encourage patients to return them to either the pharmacy, or our recycling bin on the front desk in reception here at Mount Road Practice.

Inhalers should not be put in waste bins. Landfill disposal is harmful to the environment both in material waste and in greenhouse gas emissions as the residual gas from canisters is released to the atmosphere.

Three men have been charged with drug supply offences after we found co***ne, he**in, cannabis and around £3,500 in cash following searches in north Staffordshire.

Kasim Molloy-Khan, 21, of Stoke, Stoke-on-Trent, and Fizaan Rasool, 19, of Cobridge, Stoke-on-Trent, have been charged with possession with intent to supply co***ne and cannabis.

Umayr Mahmood, 24, of Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, has been charged with possession with intent to supply co***ne.

It comes after officers stopped a Nissan Qashqai on Church Street, Newcastle-under-Lyme, at about 12.25am on Saturday (28 December) and found the drugs and cash inside. More drugs were found following a subsequent search of a home in the area.

All three are due to appear at the North Staffordshire Justice Centre today (Monday 30 December).

How to avoid purchase scams:

🎁 Use a secure method of payment
🎁 If it's heavily discounted, ask yourself why?
🎁 Avoid websites that only launched a few days/weeks ago
🎁 Only criminals will rush you. Remember you can say no

Received 250 daffodil bulbs from the Borough to plant in the ward, planted 50 today in the Butt Lane peace garden, they are sprouting so while it’s still warmish, if anyone would like to plant in Talke, Talke Pits or Buttlane ASAP, send me a message and I will drop off a few x

When your plans for a day out get cancelled just litter pick Church Street, and the inconsiderate dog owners who think it’s acceptable to not pick up after your pet, start to, because the warden has been informed and when caught you will be fined. Either let them relieve in your own garden and bin it or clean up after them, and take it home and bin it. Thank you.

❗MEN'S MENTAL HEALTH

💔 Stoke-on-Trent's su***de rates are higher than the national average and as we know, the population with the highest frequency of deaths by su***de is middle aged men.

👨🏻‍🤝‍👨🏽 To all our men - you are not alone and you should not bottle up any feelings if you are struggling.

➡️ It is ok not to be ok and speaking to someone will help. Our support services have a wide range of people to talk to: https://orlo.uk/uyBFR

📞 Alternatively, you can call the National Su***de Helpline on 0800 689 5652.
