The S.E.A.R.C.H.

Full details here...


The S.E.A.R.C.H. Salford Community Committee is aiming to be a forum for all parents and carers of vulnerable people in the city, and is holding a public meeting this Tuesday night at the White Swan pub on Worsley Road in Swinton.

With cuts happening all over the city to services for vulnerable and disabled children and adults, and the elderly, S.E.A.R.C.H. is urging as many people as possible to attend...

"We are hoping that you will all be able to join us, there is a lot we need to discuss and hope many of you have things you also want to bring up" states the group, which is made up of parents, carers and a councillor.

The Salford Star has recently revealed legal problems with cuts to disabled children's services (see here) and the lack of a register of disabled people in the city (see here).

S.E.A.R.C.H. is almost like a self-help, self-defence group... "We are standing against the austerity measures and the lack of support for the most vulnerable in Salford, including the disabled, the elderly and support for families too...to try and make a positive difference for those most vulnerable."

Anyone who is worried about the cuts, or who has a story to share is urged to attend...

S.E.A.R.C.H. Salford Community Committee Meeting
Tuesday 24th March 7:30pm
White Swan
186 Worsley Road
Swinton M27 5SN

SALFORD STAR CLOSES AFTER 15 YEARS WITH ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

Star date: 17th May 2021

SALFORD STAR – 15 YEARS OF ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

The Salford Star closes tonight after 15 years of giving the community a voice, holding power to account and bigging up all the great things that have happened in the city.

Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

Today, the Salford Star shuts down but we write this article as a warning to others who may follow on the pitfalls of founding a genuine publication that aims to give the community a voice and hold public bodies up to account.

THEY WILL TRY TO DISCREDIT YOU...TO BLOCK YOU, TO SHUT YOU DOWN

We are almost at the final closure of the Salford Star but we write this article as a warning to others who may follow on the pitfalls of founding a genuine publication that aims to give the community a voice and hold public bodies up to account. 

They will try to discredit you, block information and shut you down. In South America they just blow up the offices of journalists that don't play the game. Here they just financially assassinate you...

SALFORD STAR CLOSURE – GUY GRIFFITHS ON THE HUMAN COST OF PATHFINDER DEMOLITIONS

Star date: 16th May 2021

THE HUMAN COST OF REGENERATION

The Griffiths brothers of Higher Broughton are kind of infamous as the only people to be forcefully evicted from their house as part of the Pathfinder 'housing market renewal' project during the first decade of the 21st Century.

Here, Guy Griffiths, now living in 'sunny' north Wales and one of the main inspirations for the Salford Star's creation, writes the second part his own personal view of the Government project that devastated communities throughout Central Salford.
