Keep The Region On Track
ELEVEN cities have joined forces to demand a network of high-speed rail lines that will not leave the North-East and Yorkshire in the slow lane – at a cost of billions of pounds of investment. The move is being backed by The Northern Echo, which has launched its own Keep The Region On Track campaign, to run alongside the existing Keep The Region Flying campaign to protect regional air links.

Animal
Watch
THE Northern Echo has joined forces with the RSPCA and police in the
fight to rid the region of its appalling reputation for animal cruelty.

cases of animal cruelty, whether against wild animals, live stock
or pets, and to report their suspicions. |

Silent
Killer
It is a deadly gas that can't be seen, and can't be smelled. Deaths
from carbon monoxide poisoning are made even more tragic by the fact
that they can so easily be avoided. The installation of detectors
can alert people to the accumulation of carbon monoxide before it
is too late. It is a small price to pay to save innocent lives. |
