This mum-of-eight has been missing for nearly a week - her family and police are desperate to find her

The family of a missing mum from Stockport has issued an urgent appeal for help to find her.

Debra Cull, 55, was last seen in Brinnington on the morning of Friday, September 4 - nearly a week ago.

She was pictured on CCTV near Cohen's chemist, at the junction of Northumberland Road and Brinnington Road, at 10.20am.

The mum-of-eight has not been seen since.  Her disappearance is said to be 'entirely out of character'.

Her children, who she is usually in regular contact with, have not heard from her.

Debra is white and has shoulder-length blonde hair and is of slim build.

She was last seen wearing a grey cardigan, a pink jumper and blue jeans.

Debra is believed to have links to the Preston and Fylde areas of Lancashire.

Her husband Matthew, 53, and daughter Emily, 32, are desperate or help.

"I just want to know my wife is safe and comes back home," Matthew said.

"This is entirely out of character and we are missing her."

Emily added: "We just want her to come home, we all miss her."

Detective Chief Inspector Gina Brennand, of GMP's Stockport division, said: "This is a very worrying time for Debra's family and we are urging anyone with information that could help lead us to finding her to get in touch.

"If the images we have released of Debra strike any resemblance to someone you may have seen in the last seven days, do not hesitate to call police as it may prove to be the vital detail that we need in our search."

Anyone with information should call 0161 856 9223. Details can anonymously be passed to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
