31. 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.

38. 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.

39. 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.
