This week's paper
HERE's a sneak preview of what's in this week's Batley and Birstall News.
We have the tragic story of dad-of-two Gregory White, who drowned in a swimming pool while on a family holiday. A coroner has raised concerns about safety at the Turkish hotel where he died after an inquest heard about a catalogue of failings, from broken resuscitation equipment to a lack of lifeguards.
There's the fire which forced a popular Birstall restaurant to evacuate at dinner time and close for repairs.
Police have been criticised for failing murdered Batley mum Clare Wood. The Independent Police Complaints Commission has slammed Greater Manchester Police for not taking her complaints of harassment by her future killer seriously enough.
We take an in-depth look at the declining fortunes of our markets in week five of our Help Our High Street campaign.
And do you have a winning lottery ticket? A ticket bought in Kirklees is now worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, but the prize has not been claimed. Pick up your copy of the News to check the winning numbers against any old tickets you have.
There's also the chance to win a 2,000 bedroom, find out what's on locally in The Guide, and check out what's for sale in our packed property pull-out.
All this for the bargain price of 45p!
