WHAT'S IN FRIDAY'S CHRONICLE

A COMMUNITY group in Werneth has set up its own memorial garden and had it blessed by a vicar  so residents can have their ashes scattered there after death.

Meanwhile, there are warnings that further cuts in budgets could impact on neighbourhood policing.

There are tips for youngsters entering the school holidays on how to stay safe and have fun this summer.

And a roadshow is about to hit town to highlight the benefits of apprenticeships for those about to leave school.

In sport, Latics are gearing up for their next pre-season friendly and hope to pack a punch after a tough fitness session at a boxing gym.

This and much more in tonight's Chronicle. Make sure you buy your copy or check out the eChron and iChron for laptops and mobiles.
