the former next town marched to remember the miners strike. It seems

resentment against Margaret Thatcher is still there. What are thd

government did in the day, setting men against men, and what they did

to the industry. We are strong community. We don't seem to have

anything here at all now. Two local mains are to close within 18 months.

The main is very dear to us because my son got killed there two years

ago. It is one of the mains we have taken to heart. We have all the

material under our feet ready to be brought to the surface. Polhce

estimate up to 500 people took part in the march. Goldthorpe cale to

prominence last year when locals are burnt an effigy of Margaret Thatcher

now been removed across the city. More than 57,000 fines were handed

out since August. Last week the independent traffic adjudic`tor said

the council may have acted unlawfully, something the council

leader denied. Controversial proposals to downgrade

mean pregnant women or children with complicated medical conditions would

have to travel to Middlesborough. A minutes' silence was held at all

19`year`old amateur, who's ` member of the Royal Hallamshire Golf Club,

came into the final hole of his second round needing a birdhe to

qualify for the weekend. But his put slid agonisingly wide. Fitzpatrick
