Calls for monument to Paralympic glory

- DOMINIC SMITHERS

APERMANENT tribute could be created in Macclesfie­ld in honour of Menna Fitzpatric­k’s Par- alympic glory. Former Fallibroom­e pupil Menna won four medals at the Pyeongchan­g games, including her country’s only gold.

Calls are growing for the incredi- ble achievemen­ts of the partially sighted skier to be honoured with a lasting tribute.

Town council bosses say plans are underway to recognise her tri- umphs, while MP David Rutley said he backed moves for a tribute and has written to Cheshire East Council to push for it.
