Since the last news update, we have:
a) Continued with our twice monthly litter picks :
5 volunteers met at The Honey Bee on Wednesday 07-AUG-24. We covered Altrincham Road collecting 9 bags of litter and 1 bag of recyclables.
Only 2 volunteers were able to attend the Bank Square pick on Saturday 10-AUG-24. We collected 3 bags around the Bollin Link, Grove St, Alderley Rd, Swan Street and the top half of Church Street.
b) Continued with our solo picks.
c) Moved our website to a new hosting provider. We started off in 2014 with a hosting company called TSO Host. They were very good for a long time but were bought out by a large American company called GoDaddy. Since then, support has become almost non-existent. They moved our website onto a new platform earlier this year and broke our email functionality. They took a long time to fix that issue. Our website broke again a few weeks ago. This time there was no response after 2 or 3 weeks despite various chases on the support ticket. Having finally run out of patience with TSO/GoDaddy, we bought a hosting package at a new company. The new company has been excellent so far. They migrated the website across for us free of charge. It all basically just worked – with very little work required by us. Since then, a further support ticket has been raised with TSO Host to cancel the old service. Again, this request has gone into a black hole. We are pushing for a refund but not holding our breath. Hopefully, some other TSO Host customers will report them to Trading Standards. There are dozens of frustrated customers/companies who are struggling to operate. These are their most recent TrustPilot reviews :
