The best local stories often start with a note from a reader. Whether you have spotted something happening in your neighbourhood, want to put a question to the news desk or are looking to work with us, use the email address below that best matches your enquiry.

General enquiries

For questions about the publication, email [email protected]. We try to read every message, although we cannot guarantee that we are able to reply.

Got a story?

Send news tips, local issues and story leads to [email protected]. Tell us what happened, where and when it happened, and who is involved. Documents, photographs and a phone number are useful too. We will protect the confidence of sources where we have agreed to do so, but please do not send anything highly sensitive by ordinary email without speaking to the newsroom first.

Events

For our listings and events diary, email [email protected] with the event name, date, time, venue, a short description and ticket or booking information. Send listings as early as possible and make clear whether the event is free or ticketed.

Letters

The letters page is a place for readers to have their say. Send letters and comments to [email protected], including your name and contact details. We may edit submissions for length and clarity, and publication is at the editor’s discretion. Letters should be original and suitable for publication.

Reviews of productions

For theatre, music, film and other production review enquiries, contact [email protected]. Include the production details, performance dates, venue and press information where available. Review requests are considered by the editorial team and cannot guarantee coverage.

Advertising

For advertising, sponsored content or local business partnerships, contact [email protected]. Tell the advertising desk what you are promoting, who you want to reach and when you would like the campaign to run.

Advertising and sponsored content are clearly identified and kept separate from our editorial decisions.

Complaints

If you have a complaint about our journalism, website or service, email [email protected] with the relevant details and links. We take complaints seriously and will review them in line with our editorial standards.

Editor

For matters that need to be addressed directly to the editor, email [email protected]. This inbox is for editorial correspondence that cannot be handled by one of the desks above.
