1. Why no business to discuss?

2. Town centre is dying from neglect, yet council does nothing
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 19 November 2008I DON'T usually quote rival newspapers, but the headline on the front page of this week’s Leek Post reads: ‘Free Parking U-turn in bid to help boost town’s trade’.
3. When will they get the message over tiresome telephone systems?
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 12 November 2008OK, HANDS up all those who like calling automated phone systems. You know – your call is important to us but not important enough to actually answer; you’re being recorded for training purposes; you have four options; say ‘yes’ if you’re still conscious, sorry we didn’t hear that; sorry all our agents are busy. That kind of stuff.

8. Education authority could try harder
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 15 October 2008HERE we go again. Insufficient places for Wilmslow children who, surprise, surprise, want to attend Wilmslow High School. Apparently this year is expected to be worse than last with a record number of pupils forced to travel to Poynton, Macclesfield, Northwich or Winsford.
9. Parking MBC style
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 15 October 2008GIVEN the public posturing of Macclesfield Borough Council on illegal parking, and the predilection of MBC traffic wardens for dishing out parking tickets for the heinous offence of straying outside one’s allotted parking bay, I thought you may like to see how MBC park their own vehicles.
10. Pensioners' plight has made me 'Angry of Macclesfield'
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 8 October 2008THIS week I'm ‘Angry of Macclesfield’. Angry that elderly people must face the oncoming winter unable to pay their spiralling bills.
