We recently received and email with an offer of a free security survey for WV11 businesses and residents, interested? See below for details:

My company; Wolverhampton locksmiths, a 24 hour emergency locksmith service, was born in Wednesfield three years ago and I have been providing locksmith services in the area ever since, building an enviable reputation amongst tradesmen in Wednesfield and Wolverhampton.

I would not have enjoyed such growth without the loyalty and work provided by the local community.

As a thankyou to the residents and business owners in the Wednesfield area I am now offering to survey your existing door and window lock security *FREE of charge*. I will check all locks and fittings on the doors and windows of your property and advise on additional upgrades and vulnerabilities that may exist.

It is important to keep up to date with current British Standards with regards to door and window locks as to adhere to the requirements of your  home insurance policy.

Criminals are becoming ever wiser in exploiting weak aspects of home security and with such a poor economic climate it has never been so important to ensure you are protected against burglary and unauthorised entry to your home.

I pride myself on delivering a fast and friendly service and aim to be on site within fifteen minutes in the Wednesfield and Willenhall areas of Wolverhampton.

Where required I can supply and fit any additional locks that are recommended at a discounted price of 10% for WV11 Residents, however there is no obligation to use our service at all.

For more information or to arrange a home security survey, please call me on 07724-82-82-89 or visit Wolverhampton Locksmiths website.

According to a recent planning application, there are plans to open a Nando’s restaurant at Bentley Bridge.

One of three applications for Unit 4b seeks permission for a “Internally illuminated ‘Nandos’ fascia sign, two internally fluorescent illuminated menuboxes and one cockerel logo to be burnt into 150mm thick reclaimed oak boarding panel”…so it looks like Nando’s Portuguese, flame-grilled PERi-PERi Chicken is on the way to Wednesfield!

We’ve just spotted in the Essington Fruit Farm Newsletter:

At last the pick-your-own season has started!

We have lots of lovely strawberries, the recent rains have swollen them nicely and plenty are now ripening up. Other fruit crops will soon follow: gooseberries may be picked now but will benefit from a week or two to grow some more, raspberries and currants should be ready by the end of the month.

We also have lots of fresh vegetables ready now: cabbage and broccoli are ready at the moment, with caulis not far behind. We have beetroot, lettuce and sugar peas ready now, with traditional garden peas coming on shortly. Spinach is just starting.

Log on to our website to see our Summer Newsletter!

We look forward to seeing you regularly as you make the most of summer on the farm.

Best wishes from,

Richard, Mary and Will

WV11 remains a not-for-loss project (we don’t make money from it, but we’re trying not to lose money), and whilst we won’t make much money selling ads every little bit helps us to cover our running costs (web-hosting) and the time we put into researching and writing news stories. From time to time we will also donate money to local charity events.

We are using the Addiply advertising platform which businesses can register with to display ads on the site – it’s really simple to sign up and you can choose between text or image based ads.

As this is something of an experiment we have decided to start by charging £5 per month for ads, which we think is pretty reasonable? (Visitor stats are available on request.)

If you’d like to advertise on WV11, you can buy ad space here or email / phone us on 07855 409 319 if you have any questions. Ad slots are available to local businesses and organisations within the Wolverhampton area, however we will prioritise WV11 based organisations.

We hope this service will be a great opportunity for local businesses to advertise to local people, so if you’re interested get in touch!
