Meet Kate Simms...
Yesterday I mentioned Kate Simms, the Chester-based correspondent for regional news programme North West Tonight. Shockingly, Kate is the sole correspondent covering Cheshire, a large county that is largely rural and is not easy to get around even by road (unless you're using the M6 - try going east-west and see how long it takes). Should there be a breaking story over in Macclesfield, this might explain why such items rarely get covered - I daresay by the time she's managed to get there the excitement is all over...
Kate Simms is also responsible for online news coverage. Take a look at her page, as she is positively inviting the licence payers of Cheshire to contact her if they have a story they think needs reporting. So, give her a call or send her an email and suggest some news stories for her to cover - we all know there's lots happening across our county, but she may need a helping hand.

Or give Allison a call at The Chronicle on 01244 606424...!
Kate Simms' page has a link to 'BBC In Cheshire'. Clicking on this link takes you to the 'BBC Stoke and Staffs' page! How much longer is this nonsense going to go on?
Yes, I noticed that with the link too! This kind of stuff is rife across the BBC websites. Typing in a Chester postcode on "Where I Live", for example, takes you to the Liverpool page. I try and flag them up on here when I find them.
And obviously, if your story is time-sensitive, calling Allie at the Chron or one of the other local papers in the county will get it published a lot faster...
