THERE are times when a local news story brings out the very best in a community. Sadly, there are also times when it brings out the worst in people on social media, like the vandalism attack on the war memorial at St Alban’s Church.

OPINION: THERE are times when two stories, seemingly worlds apart, come together to tell us something profound about the society we live in.

A sold-out event at the Halliwell Jones Stadium has proved that sometimes a fresh approach, a new identity and a strong sense of local pride are exactly what is needed to bring people together.

THERE comes a point when we have to stop looking at major developments like the huge rail freight logistics park near Winwick and Croft in isolation and start asking a much bigger question – what happens when you put them all together?

THERE is something deeply disturbing about the sudden collapse of a charity whose very purpose was to stop young people taking their own lives.

THERE is something rather special about a village being able to celebrate its own sporting legend while, at the same time, celebrating the people who have worked tirelessly to preserve the story of the village itself.

THERE can be little argument that Britain needs more affordable homes. Young families deserve the chance to get on the property ladder, older residents need suitable accommodation to downsize into, and businesses rely on a growing workforce.

THERE comes a point when difficult conversations can no longer be postponed. For Warrington Borough Council, that point has long since arrived.

Taking your startup into a new country can open up opportunities you might not find at home. But before you start building an international team, there’s something important to consider: how will you employ people legally in a country where your business isn’t registered?

By the time this issue reaches you, the Chancellor will have delivered his first Budget, and we’ll pick through what it means for business owners next month. In the meantime, three things won’t wait for the dust to settle: a Companies House deadline many directors still haven’t met, January’s tax bill, and the annual question of how generous you can be at Christmas without HMRC taking a share.

Picking a fulfilment partner is really a bet on where your business will be in two years, not where it is now. A warehouse that handles your current order volume fine might fall over the moment you add a second country or a third sales channel.
