What goes on the board
Two lists, side by side, so nobody has to guess.
What we cover
Yes, please.
- Markets, makers and pop-ups
- Shows, gigs, readings and the theatre
- Walks, gardens, parks and good weather
- Food, drink and new openings
- Family days and free things
- Small local news you would tell a friend
What we skip
No, thank you.
- Crime and police reports
- Courts and trials
- Council fights and election noise
- Outrage, rumours and pile-ons
- Traffic you are already stuck in
Other people cover these well. We send you to them when it matters.
