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.
