| 621 | Anonymous | How can a paper run from manchester, a city of well over a million adequately represent a town and the surrounding country at a fraction of the size. The editorial and journalistic staff in Manchester can have no comprehension of what actually happens in our area and probably would not know where Macclesfield was on a map let alone any of the surrounding vilages. You only have to look at National media coverage to realise how myopic city dwellers are to the needs of the countryside and its population. Should this change occur then I will probably stop buying the paper. It is a repeat of the Beeching mistakes with the railway network, if you cut the roots off, then large parts of the trunk also die, it has taken 40 years for the railways to recover, Ido not think the Macc express has the resiliance to recover from a serious pruning of its key local staff. |

| 632 | Christopher Sullivan | The news will become older and the paper will become less valid to locals meaning its gradual decline and consequentail eventual loss. |
| 633 | Enid Shelmerdine | I started my journalist career on the Stockport Advertiser, in 1965, when it was in competition with the Stockport Express and now - at the end of my career - work on The Times.
Along the way I worked for or with many of the papers now under threat, either as a staffer or freelance reporter, before moving on to the nationals and radio and TV.
Where will young reporters work now? Who will train the journalists of the future? These newspapers must be saved for the sake of their staffs and the communities that they serve. |
| 634 | Peter Hammond | John Tither of the original Wilmsow Advertiser [now the Wilslow Express] will be spinning in his grave! |
| 635 | Helen Dalton | This is really sad news. The local offices are vital to the communities that they serve. Most, if not all of these offices have been there for many many years and are the main source of news for residents and businesses alike. Such action would surely mean the decline or even the end of the newspapers concerned. |
