A gripping tale

Judging by the comments left on this website, the story of runaway teen Victoria Pilkington has really captured the imagination.
Our story this week is pretty unusual - not exactly staple local newspaper fayre but it's equally gripping and fascinating, whatever your opinion of the case.
Elsewhere, tomorrow is your annual chance to tell the politicians what you really think of them.
Without getting all preachy, I'd urge as many of you as possible to get out and vote.
After all, do you really have a right to complain about the service you get from your council if you don't even bother to vote?
You only get one chance a year to make your voice truly heard - don't waste it.
You can read the latest on this week's vote by visiting the election section of our website - inclduing a full rundown of who is standing in your ward.
