Drama in #chorlton this morning. Police have closed off and evacuated Morrisons supermarket and placed a 100m cordon around the area after a suspicious package was found my a member of the public earlier. Fire crews and bomb disposal in attendance. #manchester #GMP
Massive tree just came down right in front of us on Chester Road in Hartford, Cheshire. Road now blocked and a few fried nerves!
Brilliant news and well done to @smithedit and @stuartpollitt . Glad to be a very small part of it and hope it means loads more people will watch this great doc.
