Just a quick reminder that the deadline for Network Rail’s “Action Stations” survey on local station facilities is the end of December – click here to fill in the survey.
There is a lot of work to do at the local stations that are within Worsley & Eccles South constituency or serve some local residents - Walkden, Moorside, Swinton, Eccles, Patricroft and Irlam – and the more local people who fill in the survey, the louder our voice will be heard!
It only takes a few minutes to complete, and there’s a prize draw for everyone who takes the time to finish.
Protecting Our Local Press
It’s a difficult time for the newspaper industry generally – partly due to the tough economic climate – but the continued discussion about the huge losses made by the Guardian concern me. Not, of course, through any great affinity with the Guardian, but because that paper’s management would gladly bleed our local (Guardian Media Group-owned) press dry before getting their own house in order. Our local newspapers deserve better than that.
