The man suffered various facial fractures and cuts to his face and ear as he was assaulted on the towpath close to Morrison’s Supermarket at Latchford.

Morrisons is not in Latchford for God’s sake – it’s in Wilderspool – when are people going to recognise Wilderspool as a proper area on it’s own which is very distinct from Latchford???
???? The poor bloke has been seriously beaten up for no reason and is currently having facial reconstructive surgery and you are more concerned about area boundary names… FOR GOD’S SAKE !!!!!
PS Stafford road which runs along the tow path opposite Morrisons is indeed LATCHFORD and I’d hardly call Wilderspool ‘distinct’ anyway !
