Name: Cllr Sheila Bailey on Mar 17, 2009Comments: The Stockport Express and Stockport Times are an integral part of the community in Stockport and have been for many years. These papers play a major role in informing Stockport residents about events, crime, local schools and their activities, celebrating local success and highlighting failures as well as calling the Council to account with investigative journalism. Losing this aspect of Stockport life would be a significant loss to Stockport life.Flag

Name: Cllr Philip Harding on Mar 17, 2009Comments: Local newspapers are an essential part of community life in a town and the Stockport Express has been providing news, information, an opportunity for local people to comment on issues and an insight into local government which would be lost. Regular contact with local people, Councillors, organisations in the area and an ability to understand local issues is what is currently provided and it would be a retrograde step for this to cease.Flag

Name: G Pickford on Mar 17, 2009Comments: We need a local community channel where voluntary groups of all types can write their views and gain publicity about their activities by way of editorial, pictures and paid advertising. All this could be lost if a local newspaper were to be absorbed into a larger Gtr Manchester unit. "Local" is important.Flag

Name: Matthew Jones on Mar 17, 2009Comments: The proposed cuts, both in terms of job losses and the moving of the papers of their patches, are not only counterproductive but are also unacceptable in a democratic society that relies on its local papers to inform its people on local issues and local politics.Flag

Name: Andrew Gwynne MP on Mar 17, 2009Comments: A disgraceful decision which needs to be urgently reversed. In spite of all the promises, what will happen is our local newspapers will become glorified weekly versions of the MEN with a token Tameside or Stockport page filled by staff who do not know or understand the area in the same way as our local reportes do. Greater Manchester deserves better!Flag

Name: Andy Manning on Mar 17, 2009Comments: Good luck in trying to convince the Scott Trust. They closed the Stockport Advertiser years ago and are yet again showing their true colours while hiding behind the reputation of The Guardian while discarding the very journalists who have helped fill their pockets.Flag

Name: Sheila Oliver on Mar 17, 2009Comments: The Stockport Express is a wonderful local campaigning newspaper with dedicated journalists. The Guardian Media Group should hang their heads in shame.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Mar 17, 2009Comments: I beleive The Express is an institution in Stockport and cannot beleive that a Borough of this size could have a truly representative paper without its own office and editorial/journalist team.Flag
