Guardian Review: 12th September 2024

It’s a Thursday and the latest Guardian has hit the news stands

Deputy Editor Gareth Dunning takes us through some of the stories in this weeks paper.

First, it’s back to school for students across Cheshire and there’s more than 50 pictures outside front doors for you to look out for.  Did your child make it to the paper?

Those smart uniforms won’t look quite so pristine by the end of the week!

Lack of high school places

Front page this week covers the expected rise in high school places that will be needed in three years time in the Warrington area.

Warrington Borough Council are now conducting a consultation as to how the best address this – and there’s a few options on the table.

Cycling to work

Research is showing that cylcling to work in the area has gone down over the last year – down to around 7% from around 12% in the previous year.

This could be for a number of reasons – with more people working from home these days – or perhaps that the weather this year hasn’t been that good.

But remember Warrington now has much improved cycle lanes – and there’s always the Transpennine Trail which offers family-friendly cycling without having to worry about busy traffic.

Knutsford Bake Club

Over to Knutsford and congratulations to the Knutsford Bake Club who have raised over £13,000 for Macmillan Cancer Research over the last ten years.

The most recent coffee morning at Lost and Found raised a whopping £2,300 for the charity.

The turnout included Knutsford mayor Cllr Colin Banks and mayoress Christine Banks, as well as Tatton MP Esther McVey and local business owners.

Read all about it in this weeks Warrington and Knutsford Guardian.
