Our History

Vice Chair Councillor Jim Fitzpartick with The Duck

Hattersley & Mottram Community Media is a community enterprise, set up to support the continued production and development of the Hattersley & Mottram Community News.

This path was chosen as the way forward for the organisation at the AGM in October 2005. On 14th August 2006, Hattersley & Mottram Community Media (HMCM) was incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee (registered in England no. 5904538)

HMCM’s history may only be short, but the real history of who we are and where we come from belongs to the history of the Hattersley & Mottram Community News. You can read all about it in the Community News area of our website.
