1. Was it that one was separated at one’s birth?
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 23 February 2005I'VE just heard on the radio that Charles and Camilla are to marry.
2. Fighting fire with fire
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 23 February 2005OVER the years I've received hundreds of letters from readers disappointed or outraged by the poor response from Cheshire Police to their telephone enquiries. Waiting endlessly for an officer to pick up the phone has been replaced by a prompt answer from a call centre followed by a futile wait for the right extension. I can't count the number of times Cheshire Police have admitted a call has been 'lost' in the system, 'delayed' or simply left unanswered.
3. Underground over ground, where should the Alderley by-pass be?
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 16 February 2005PROBABLY the only story in the Express to run longer than the dog dirt saga is the on-off-on-off Alderley by-pass. It seems like Alderley residents have been arguing over it for decades then, just as the Government was about to cave in and build the damn thing, a Womble-like fracas erupted over where it should go in relation to the railway line.
4. No freedom of info at MBC
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 9 February 2005WHAT a great coup for Wilmslow to be chosen as the Government centre for the new Freedom of Information Act bringing over 200 jobs to the town.
5. Predictive technology means no ambulance required
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 9 February 2005I AM FREQUENTLY astounded at the march of technology but never more so than when learning of the ambulance service's ability to close down local stations AND speed up response times.
6. Insane closure of Saneline
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 9 February 2005THERE was a time when Macclesfield was famous for its treatment of the mentally-ill. Parkside Hospital dedicated itself to the care of those unable to care for themselves. Then along came some trendy Government diktat claiming it was kinder to close down such 'institutions' providing instead 'care in the community'.
7. Leave it to Bill to sort out the leisure centre
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 2 February 2005After 24 years of attending Macclesfield Leisure Centre I'm devastated to learn it's in the wrong place. So where have I been going for the past two and a half decades?
8. Try to think like a dog
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 2 February 2005AS a committed dog trainer I was rather disturbed to hear the RSPCA pleading with new owners to take their dogs to a training class.
