LETTER: HS2 silver lining for Audlem?

Dear Editor,
When the government announced its plans to scrap HS2, the region around Crewe was devastated but now it appears that there may be a silver lining to the cancellation.

Questions are being asked by residents of the village of Audlem in Cheshire as to whether, with the plans the government has announced to open more branch lines and invest more locally in the north west, the old train line to Audlem which finally closed in 1967 is going to be reopened and the station rebuilt!

LETTER: Crewe Alex – FA Cup twilight robbery

The Alex were robbed. How can they have 6 minutes (plus 13%) added time on top of 45 minutes and then go an extra 1.07 minutes over the 6.

There were substitutes but that is the part of the game today so should be included as part of the match.

LETTER: A war against the motorist in Crewe

Dear Editor
The war against the motorist in Crewe, being waged by Labour run Cheshire East, continues apace.

LETTER: The things that Scots get for free

Dear Editor,
This is truly shocking. The list of things that Scots get for free …….which the English have to pay for…… goes on forever.

LETTER: Who is wasting our progress?

Dear Editor,
Cheshire East has (until now) offered simple, quality waste disposal.

We need an urgent action plan to revive Crewe town centre. Town centres are like a house of cards.
