'Local News and Local Pride' Survey Results So Far...

Click on the red markers above to see each individuals self-rated local pride and how often they read a local newspaper.


Each individual asked is either living or working in Preston.
So far, there appears to be little relation to pride and consumption of local news. But this is a work in process, and more results will come in.
But notably, local pride was highest outside of the UK, whilst the individual is living in Preston. This could be the start of a trend for people feeling a higher local pride whilst they're not living in what they would call their 'local area'.

Podcast: Review Professor Green at Preston's 53 Degrees

Professor Green played in Preston last night! Hear my review of how it went down

Helicopter sent to save injured football player.

In Ashton park last Sunday afternoon a helicopter was sent out to save an injured football player. As the ambulance which was first sent out got stuck in the muddy fields, only air transport could do the job.

The player was then flown away to receive appropriate medical attention. The incident occured 5 minutes into a 3:30pm kick off for a student union football league match. The pitch was extremely muddy in some places, causing the ambulance to become stuck for at least 20 minutes.

Although it is not clear what the injured player's specific injury was, one source said he had ripped his tendons, and another said "his knee was the side of his head." Neither wanted to be named.

This last picture shows the yellow air-ambulance at the scene after it had come to the rescue.
