Police search for missing runner

Kenneth Kennedy: missing since Sunday

FEARS are growing for the welfare of a keen fell runner from Oldham.

Kenneth Kennedy (60), of Ashton Road, was last spoken to by his family on Sunday and hasn’t been seen since.

It is believed he may have been in the Park Bridge area on the border of Ashton and Oldham on Monday and police and Oldham Mountain Rescue are searching the area.

Mr Kennedy is a keen walker and runner around Greenfield and Mossley. He also often runs to and from work from his home, frequently via Coal Pit Lane/Daisy Nook/Failsworth heading in the direction of Greengate.

Anyone with information can call police on 0161 856 8951.
