What's the story in YOUR local community?
many stories don't get the exposure they deserve, let's do something about that
We hope you enjoyed another great Bank Holiday weekend.
Maybe you waved flags, maybe you didn’t. Maybe you put up bunting, maybe you didn’t. Whatever your thoughts about the Monarchy, it was great to see so many local communities having some fun together, and helping each other out too.
‘Community’ is at the heart of North Staffs News. By making links, friendships, and working relationships, and by telling local stories, our aim is to help local communities develop further.
Well-developed communities are socially and economically strong, more resilient to shocks such as pandemics and cost-of-living crises, and better resourced for everyone who lives and works within them.
What’s the story in YOUR local community here in North Staffordshire? We love to hear what you’re up to. We love to learn about what’s important to you and your neighbours. We particularly like to hear about answers and solutions to local challenges.
If you have a story we can explore together, please do get in touch. We’re happy to come spend some time with you. We know there are many local stories not getting the exposure they deserve - let’s do something about that, together.
Thanks for now,
Jerome, the editor.
