Cheadle Market Saved!
Cheadle business owners and residents are celebrating the successful purchase of our historic market, securing trading ability for generations to come. On 12th September 2024, Staffordshire Moorlands District Council, Bidder Number 4, purchased the building and land at a national auction. It must have been a nail biting business, and judging by the number of district councillors, who are also celebrating, there have been a group of people involved in the acquisition.
We look forward to what’s in store for our market as we enter a new phase in our town’s 750 years of market tradition.

What is Cog?
How does COG benefit Cheadle?
Cheadle COG or Community Organisations Group is a collaboration between local churches, community leaders, charities, groups and the NHS to work together for improving and enriching services in the Cheadle Staffordshire area.
Cheadle has been a community for over 1000 years and today is a vibrant, creative, and caring town.
When organisations come together something wonderful happens, services improve, people have a better voice, residents and organisations become happier and healthier for the connection. COG exists to create those connections.

CONNECTING CHEADLE
from our Editor
Hello Cheadle!
​​
Firstly I must apologise to you all, COG has been overwhelmed by the public response to our little publication, and the cogs are turning slower than I'd like, as we work towards our plan; daily digital news, monthly print, distribution to all the villages and of course making money to fund group projects. Issue three is on its way, we now have over 70 local group members, our first tourism site is well underway, and we're involved in a number of significant projects too.
​
We urgently need support from you guys to help keep the COGs turning, so if you have a couple of hours to share, please get in touch, our little team finds this to be one of the most satisfying things they've ever done. I can honestly say it's what fires me up each day. Cheadle is a very special place and deserves to be showcased and celebrated.
​
My image choice for this issue is an odd one. Not an image at all really, but a screenshot of the auction results for Cheadle Market. It's significant to so many residents, businesses and our governance. In the months that follow I'm excited to see how trade and community comes together in this fantastic opportunity.
​
Do check in with us at cheadlecog.com often, tell us your stories and experiences, what you would like to see. and look out for our posters and printed news around the town and beyond. If you want to support our work head over to All About COG
