Read excerpt
Plans for a new pump track at a park in Hyde have been pushed forward by town hall bosses.

Hopwood Hall High Court hearing judgement as council victorious over US actor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An American filmmaker has been denied in his bid to buy Middleton’s Hopwood Hall for the nominal sum of £1 following a ‘sad day’ at the High Court.
