Local lad goes to X Factor auditions

Local lad, Kirk Sutherland attended the X Factor audtions in Manchester, he sang "Sex on Fire" by King's of Leon and wowed Simon Cowell with his singing. We went to visit Kirk at his home on Coronation Street, he had this to say "It was right good" he explained "I can't believe I got through, the crowd loved me!"

Mr. Sutherland isn't new to talent shows, in 2008, he entered a competition in Sun City in Africa, and showed off his football skills by headering a ball.

'The cobbles on Coronation Street are a nightmare!'

An ex-Newton & Ridley delivery man has filed a complaint to Weatherfield Council, complaining that the cobbles are a nightmare to drive down - Oh dear... I guess we shall just have to cement over it then, right? Wrong Mr. Brewery man.

In December 2000, the cobbles of the street became part of the United Kingdom's heritage, meaning that the cobbles can never be tarmacked over. The decision to make the cobbles a land mark was made by the residents of the street, Weatherfield's very own Ken Barlow was on who stood in the way of the workmen on that cold December day.
