We’re trying out some new software this month, so you might notice a few tweaks to the layout and fonts. Fingers crossed it all runs smoothly — and if not, we’ll learn together! Want to pitch in? If you’d like to help gather local stories, lend a hand with advertising, or support distribution, we’d love to have you on board. Just drop us a note at news@sedgefielddevelopmenttrust.co.uk — it’s a great way to get involved and keep our community buzzing.
