Fire at St James' Church Audley   On Thursday 17th of May 2007, a fire was discovered at St James' Church Audley. The emergency services attended the incident and brought the fire under control. Reports say that the cause of the fire was due to an electrical fault and that the fire had been burning for quite some time throough the night.   Extensive smoke damage has been done to the roof of the church and witnesses said that a fire officer had said, that if it had not been discovered at that time, that within half an hour the church may have been engulfed in flames.   It is expect that the reopening of St James Church will be the 20th January 2008

Connexions Outreach sessions   Audley Library, every week on Friday 2 till 3pm Louise from Connexions tells us:   'Connexions, formerly Staffordshire Careers Service, is an information, advice, guidance and support service for 13 to 19 year olds across Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent.  We are no longer just a careers service! Our personal advisers can help young people to get jobs or courses, put them in touch with other support agencies, help young people build on their strengths and weaknesses, reach their potential.  Young people can get advice on other issues, for example sexual health, family problems, counselling, relationships and money.  In fact, all things to all young people.  This session in Audley library is aimed at 16 to 19 year olds who may be unemployed, doing a course at college they hate and want to change, may be working part time and want full time work, perhaps at home with a young baby and want to get back into work or training.  Or simply don't know what to do and want to know what's out there for them.'   Contact: Louise Ibbotson, Connexions Tel: 01782 297383 E-mail Address: louise.ibbotson@cxstaffs.co.uk
