LOOKING FOR MY AUNTIE

I AM trying to contact my auntie with whom I lost contact many years ago and I was hoping your readers could help.

She is Margaret Peckett who was last heard of at 37 Hurley Drive, Cheadle Hulme.

She was married to Leonard and they had two children, Ian and Jacqueline. She used to work in security at Manchester Airport until around 2001/2.

If anyone knows where Margaret is now I would be grateful if they could contact me at Trocaire, St. Margaret’s Hope, Orkney, KW17 2RN or by email to harringtoncav@ btinternet.com

Many thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide. Chris Platt Orkney Stockport County, my facts are correct and I stand by everything I wrote.

Excepting the goalkeeper, none of the experienced players are of the calibre required by a club and should be sacked.

With regard to his defence of the young players, suffice it to say that Churchman has been voted Young Player of The Year – and he is incapable of passing a football to his team mates.

I wonder which planet Mr Akram inhabits when he praises the centrebacks (Lees and O’Halloran). The ‘goals against’ column testifies to the inadequacy of this shaky duo – and the goalkeeper has spared their blushes frequently.

Mr Akram asserts that County are run by sound business people – what sound business person would appoint an inadequate, inexperienced manager like Mr Lord?

What sound business person would negotiate an unrealistically expensive ground rental deal? If County threatened to exit Edgeley Park who else could the landlord get to pay such an absurdly high rent?

Mr Akram describes my proposal to hire a quality manager at a realistic salary as ‘reckless’ spending. On the contrary it’s sheer economic good sense as increased gate receipts from a winning team would repay the extra salary cost many times over.

Mr Akram does not have a monopoly on affection for the club – if I did not care about the dreadful performance I would not write. David Gibbs Prestbury the future.

On several occasions during this campaign he broke ranks on the Conservative position on how to tackle poverty and on parity for mental health care.

Though not always so apparent in the Tory Party, somewhere in his heart I detect that core of decency.

I say this to you William, you stand on the shoulders of giants. The hard-working practical and visionary Tory ‘big beasts’ like Michael Heseltine and Ken Clarke who abhor the cruel streak that runs in your party.

You have the advantage of relative youth to make an enormous mark in public life. Don’t waste it.

The country faces profound challenges. Your party in large parts of the north of England barely exists. Here you have swum against a tide and for that I congratulate you.

But make no mistake, Labour are building here. We will hold you to account, we will stand up for the people we really worry about, the poor and vulnerable of this constituency, but will also continue to fight to make this a good place to live and work and raise a family.
