Active lime spreaders in Mid Shropshire?

He's certainly not a new kid on the block. Used to have weekly tea party's at the old Oswestry market, don't know if there still allowed under the new build regime?

He may be out of your area if your by the beet factory? Dead Eye Dave may have a melt down if the has go past Shotatton cross roads.

Pete Price is one to try. Not sure how far he's willing to travel. Top lad .

We use John Lewis and Dave to spread here.

Funny place Shropshire ;)
I can turn right out of the drive and still be in Shropshire 1¼hrs later, but if I turn left, I'm in Staffordshire in one minute, then back in Shropshire in five!

Anyway, a guy at work was having lime spread this week, but he's up in Cheshire a bit - I could ask him if you like ......

Yes, the weekly tea party’s, banter and Brexit bollox was going strong up until CV put a stop to it.

Dead Eye Dave is off the road at the moment, apparently in the middle of refurbing his spreader and can’t get parts. He has been known to travel, have heard him talking of been down Knighton and over the horseshoe pass.
Dave Lloyd is standing in at the moment on the spreading, sourcing lime is a bigger issue but was still able to get albeit from further afield last week.
 
Hands off. I’ve got him coming here to test maize ground next week. Must admit I never thought about actually getting the lime .
I had some last week from Buxton, Jon Davies from whixhall fetched it, he thought they were likely to stay open as they supply grit for chicken feed but said it was near on impossible to get it as a back load so was having to run over there empty.
