We’re going to start today with a warning. This edition of Mancunian Way contains discussion of suicide. Please think carefully before continuing to read. It’s been linked to dozens of deaths, including at least six here in Greater Manchester. A coroner first warned the Government about it back in 2019. And it’s been under investigation by media and internet watchdog Ofcom since April. But despite widespread and multiple concerns, a US-based suicide forum still appears to be open to anyone in the UK with open internet access, including children. Said to be well-known among those struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, the site, which we are choosing not to name, currently has more than 56,000 members worldwide. More than 2.8m messages have been posted, many of them disturbingly graphic. One of the most viewed posts is an account of the suicide of a forum user as written by a friend who witnessed their death. In other posts users tell of their intention to take their own life, as other forum members offer encouragement. Our investigation into the forum came after Manchester West coroner Timothy Brennand began examining a ‘cluster’ of suicides in Wigan , Bolton and Salford where eight people took their own lives after taking a un-named poison which was being discussed and promoted on the site. They included 45-year-old Kelly Walsh, who died after taking the chemical at her home in Atherton, Salford University student Matthew O'Reilly, 18, and Samuel Dickenson, a 33-year-old father of two from Leigh. Mr Brennand warned more people could die unless action was taken against the site. Ged Flynn, chief executive of national charity Papyrus Prevention of Young Suicide said online dangers such as suicide forums and 'relentless social media' were among the 'overwhelming pressures' young people are faced with.” But despite the concerns, the forum’s administrators remain defiant. The site's home page also includes a response to the Ofcom investigation, describing it as a 'clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform'. It adds: "We reject this interference and will be defending the site's existence and mission." Ofcom said it had made ‘several attempts to engage with this provider’ and having ‘received a limited response to our request and unsatisfactory information’ had launched an investigation. A spokesperson said: “Where appropriate, in the most serious cases, we can seek a court order for ‘business disruption measures’, such as requiring payment providers or advertisers to withdraw their services from a platform, or requiring Internet Service Providers to block access to a site in the UK.” At the start of last year Pilsworth South Landfill, just off the M66 motorway between Heywood and Bury , quite literally caused a stink. Politicians described it as 'like being hit in the face' and locals said they'd been left feeling sick. But for the residents on Heap Street, the stench was nothing new. Their homes sit at the foot of the so-called ‘Mount Everest of rubbish’ and they’ve been living with the consequences for years. Local democracy reporter George Lythgoe’s been speaking to a few of them. After a long and gruelling campaign, Awaab's Law is set to come into force later this year. It comes two years after the legislation was voted through and more than four years since the tragic death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak on the Freehold estate in Rochdale . But now the government has finally confirmed exactly what measures will come into force and when. Here politics reporter Joseph Timan looks at the five ways Awaab's Law will make a difference for renters. In the middle-class suburb of Urmston in Trafford average house prices are surging towards the £1m mark. Families are flitting there from Chorlton and Didsbury . Nick Jackson paid a visit to find out why. And most of the parents he spoke to had just one answer: ‘It’s all about the grammar schools’. Would you queue up to spend a fiver on a sausage roll at a M6 service station? Normally, I’d say absolutely no chance. But after reading Emma Gill’s description of her visit to Tebay - the ‘Rolls Royce of service stations’, as Gary Barlow put it - maybe it’s time for a rethink. Tuesday: After temperatures topped out at around 30C in Manchester today, tomorrow looks like it’s going to get a bit cooler. The Met Office forecasts a cloudy day with highs of 23C. Roadworks: Cambridge Street in the city centre remains closed in both directions between Whitworth Street West and Hulme Street following last week’s Hotspur Press fire.

It came after police were called to reports of a man disrupting the match and being abusive to supporters at a cricket club in Tonge Moor, Bolton yesterday. Dog attack: Armed police were called to Marlborough Street in Rochdale yesterday morning after a woman was attacked by an American bulldog. The dog was seized by police, while the woman suffered minor injuries. Read more Crash death: A 57-year-old man was killed after being hit by a car on the M60 in the early hours of Sunday.
