  • Scorpions swimmers making their mark at county level

    WILMSLOW Scorpions are well and truly back on the map as a county level competitive swimming club. Eight of the club’s swimmers tackled the first of six Cheshire Championships meets at the weekend, achieving many personal bests, places in finals

  • LETTER: Biggest hike in the country

    THIS Knutsford Mayor, Andrew Malloy, will be remembered for one thing only, and that is the biggest council tax increase in the country this year. Sir, you are a disgrace foisting upon us such a monstrous increase which we have no choice but to

  • LETTER: Council tax needs rethink

     I follow the Knutsford Guardian weekly from abroad, and find it hard to believe that the unelected Knutsford Town Council has forced its taxpayers to pay a 37 per cent increase in taxes. They must surely have a rethink, especially if what Mr Clarke

  • LETTER: Unacceptable tax increase

  • D&G steps in to run 130 service from January 27

    D&G Bus is stepping in to retain service 130 following the decision by Arriva to cancel its service. D&G Bus service 130, running between Macclesfield, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, Colshaw Farm and Handforth, will be arriving at a bus stop along

  • UPDATE: All lanes are now open on A556

    All lanes are now open on the A556. Highways England reported that one lane on the A556 from the M6 (Over Tabley) towards Bowdon (Altrincham) had been closed due to a broken-down vehicle.
